Definition: The word "Chevignon" is a term in French that refers to a type of canteen, similar to a pizzeria or pizza shop, but designed for smaller groups or families. It's often found in rural areas, especially those with limited amenities and access to food. The term was popularized by the 19th-century poet Victor Hugo, who wrote a poem called "La Chevignon" (translated as "The Canteen") that described the rustic charm of Chevignon. A canteen is an enclosed area where people can sit down for a meal and eat. In France, it's typically located near cafes or restaurants, but in rural areas, such as those found in the French countryside, it may be more common to find them at smaller local shops or taverns that serve food outside of traditional restaurant chains. Chevignon was popularized by the author Victor Hugo, who used the term in his novel "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame" (1842). It's often associated with rural France and rural life, and it can be found in various types of canteens, such as those found at farmhouses or small towns.
