The restaurant will be easy to find once you do so." So, I need to find my way to which city?

Answer: Rouen

Located in northern France, Rouen served as a military supply base during World War I, and suffered serious damage during World War II. The Rouen Cathedral was damaged, as were many other important structures. There are several notables entombed in the cathedral, including King Richard the Lionhearted's heart.

The church of Saint Joan of Arc - built in 1979 - is located at the site of her execution. The church, and museum, occupy part of the Place du Vieux-Marche, along with a number of other museums, small markets, restaurants and assorted businesses.

Marseille is the oldest city in France, and one of the largest. A popular tourist destination, it has a Mediterranean climate, and has been featured in several movies. The Pharo Gardens, located on the Maure promontory, provides fine views of the Old Port as well as the city itself.

The Phare de Sainte Marie, which was completed in 1855, is no longer in use. The Frioul Archipelago, located in the Bay of Marseille, is home to Chateau d'lf - which was used by Alexandre Dumas as a setting in the 1844 novel "The Count of Monte Cristo". Bouillabaisse is traditionally served not as a single dish, but with the broth, bread and rouille (a creamy garlic sauce) served in one bowl, and the seafood and vegetables served in another bowl.

Very close by you will find the bistro which I think will suit your culinary desires!" What city has Surdoux sent me to find?

Answer: Nantes

Nantes is the capital of the Pays de la Loire region. The city's nickname is due to its location at the confluence of the Loire, the Erdre, and the Sevre Rivers. In addition to the bicycles provided by Nantes Metropole, the city has numerous modes of transport - and, in 1826, the city was the first to have an organized bus transit system.

The Place du Commerce is Nantes' main square, but there are several other important squares, including Place Royale and Place Marechal Foch. Known as a city with historic importance in several fields, including the arts, Nantes is home to numerous monuments, notable buildings, landmarks and museums. One of the museums is that of Jules Verne (1828-1905), who was born in Nantes. Muscadet wine is a local specialty, and one of the main ingredients in the white sauce known as white butter.

While famous for its mustard, Dijon is also known for creme de cassis - a blackcurrant liqueur favored by Agatha Christie's fictional detective Hercule Poirot.
