Here, we love good, beautiful, rich, gourmet cuisine. Our culinary tradition is rooted in our history and our terroir. Vegetable mirepoix, well known to chefs, has made a long journey from Mirepoix to the tables of top restaurants. But there’s much more: from azinat to mounjetado, from tougnol to apple croustade, you’ll find in our cuisine the expression of quality local products. It also carries in its flavours a sense of welcome and conviviality that will transform your meals into moments of divine happiness and shared pleasure.
