Chefs au Sommets d’Auron 2015 poster
The 4th Chefs Au Sommet d’Auron, bringing together the major chefs and pastry chefs from the French Riviera, will celebrate gastronomy in snow-covered mountain peaks.
For the 4th consecutive year, from February 7 to 9, 2015, the Festival Chefs Au Sommet d’Auron will serve as a bridge between sea and mountain, providing a festival of emotions, snow and gastronomy in the heart of Auron, an emblematic ski resort in the Mercantour. The restaurants in the resort of Auron and the village of Saint-Étienne de Tinée will offer affordable gastronomic menus concocted by chefs and pastry chefs duos.
Cuisine of the high mountains
Under the Godfather of Honor Joel Garault, chef star of Hotel Hermitage in Monte Carlo, many major names in gastronomy – chefs and pastry chefs – in the French Riviera will be bringing their unique talents at the restaurants of the resort and the village on the theme of the mountain gastronomy, sublimating the local products.

Local market and culinary demonstations
Around the festival highlighting the richness of the mountain gastronomy, a local market will showcase the products of the valley and the nectars of the winemakers in the region.
The chefs will offer demonstrations of dishes with food tasting and the members of the APRECA (Association of pastry chefs in the French Riviera restaurants) will present their expertise in pastries.
For budding chefs and “Cordons Bleus”, the festivities will provide a way to recognition through an amateur cooking competition, open to all volunteers on a topic picked up by the members of the jury and in line with local products.
