Dinner at La Ferme aux Grives

A lively Gascony atmosphere, warm service, recipes emblematic of the local terroir and a beautiful kitchen garden… so many reasons why La Ferme aux Grives is a veritable institution.

The cuisine is sometimes rustic, sometimes bourgeois, and always seasoned with a hint of mischief, Michel Guérard’s mischievous trademark.

Eugénie-les-Bains

Day 5: Eugénie-les-Bains

Lunch at the hotel

Imagine … a cuisine that’s as delicious as it is “healthy”, and respectful of nature.
A cuisine open to the flavors of the great French tradition as well as to exotic charms. Like a surprise, you’ll discover a new cuisine at every meal.

Spa day

Dinner at the Michelin-star restaurant Michel Guérard ***

Michel Guérard plays a mischievous repertoire combining great French tradition, naturalness, poetry and creativity. Three stars have crowned the chef and the restaurant for 45 years.

Young Vielle-Tursan Pigeon “en Bécasse”, Lobster “Tourne-Feu”, Diaphanous Dim sum “sous la mousse”, Asparagus “Reine des Landes”, Foie gras lacquered over embers, Entremets “Nuage” du Marquis de Béchamel … so many sweet temptations to taste a Naturaliste cuisine, born on the embers of their fireplace.
