Gourmet getaway on the trails of the country
Emmanuel Lehrer has composed a sumptuous menu based on local products, inspired by the Bio and Locavore values advocated by the 7th edition of Les Chefs au Sommet d’Auron. Jerusalem artichokes and nettles from the Ferme des Bourfiers, organic market gardening in La Penne, in the middle mountain of the Natural Park of the Préalpes d’Azur; trout from the high-altitude lakes of the Mercantour National Park; poultry from the Ferme de la Sauréa in Tourrette-Levens; organic goat’s milk faisselle; small spelt from the organic farm Les Ruchers de Sallagriffon, located in this town of 40 inhabitants. Emmanuel Lehrer’s gastronomy and Jean-Luc Kenneally’s dessert are rooted in the products produced by small passionate producers who are loving their terroir.
