# Picotte: Agent-Direct Score D (52.3%)

Site: https://www.picotte.fr
Report: https://directindex.org/r/picotte.fr
Scanned: 2026-10-15 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Picotte is hard for agents to use.
AI assistants can't open Picotte's website, so they go by what other sites say about it.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.picotte.fr/reserver (on the business's own site)
- Menu: https://www.picotte.fr/menu
- Phone: 01 49 29 98 77
- Its menu mentions: a lunch or set menu

## What to fix first
- **The site turns away every visitor that isn't a browser, AI agents included.** (+23 points) A plain fetch was refused (cloudflare_challenge). Only a real browser got the page. Every AI crawler and agent gets turned away the same way, so Reachable scores 0 and the rest is measured on the page as the browser rendered it. Ask the host to let the AI user agents through. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+3 points) Missing: opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Almost no text without JavaScript.** (no points, but worth doing) Crawlers that don't run scripts see an empty page. Put the menu, hours and address in plain HTML. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/website-blank-without-javascript

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **No English version declared.** Visitors from abroad, and assistants answering in English, read the page as it is. In Paris, 34% of comparable sites declare one.

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). Paste it as one block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom code box. Change anything that's wrong.

```html
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Restaurant",

        ]
      },
      "result": {
        "@type": "Reservation",
        "name": "Reservation"
      }
    }
  ]
}
</script>
```

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** There's no robots.txt, which means everything is allowed.
- **Structured data found (LocalBusiness).** address, phone
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices.
- **Booking on your own site.** Agents can book without going through a marketplace.
