Attractions
Along Autoroute 20, on the Rang du Moulin-Rouge, there stood an impressive structure called the Manoir Bigfoot—also known as the Restaurant Madrid—which was notable for its bizarre decorations: large monster trucks parked outside next to a line of larger-than-life statues of dinosaurs. In 2011, plans were announced to demolish the restaurant and replace it with "Le Madrid 2.0" which would include conventional fast-food restaurants.[3][4][5]
