La P'tite Rustique is a bakery/pastry shop in the heart of the Haut Verdon valley. The team and its master craftsman offer Provencal specialties (fougasse ail anchois, croquant provençal or cacho-dènt) as well as a wide selection of pastries and travel breads, ideal for excursions into the mountains of the Val d'Allos. This quality is the fruit of a "slow" fermentation technique, combined with close partnerships with mountain mills that select and cultivate mountain wheat and supply pure rye flour from the Hautes Alpes. Our fruit pastries are made according to the seasons and local sourcing possibilities.

Brasserie Cordœil has been brewing natural organic beers in Thorame-Basse since 2006. The name "Cordœil" comes from the Haut Verdon mountain, which provides the exceptionally high-quality water we use to create our beers. The slow alchemy that transforms barley and hops follows ancestral methods. But with high-tech equipment that provides enhanced craft quality and incredible flexibility. And all with respect for the environment! In addition to beers, you'll now find old-fashioned lemonade, cola, brandy and whisky.

Artisan butchers based in Colmars-les-Alpes, Rémi and Frédéric, sons of retired butcher Philippe Martin, prepare their meats and make their charcuterie every day (35 different products): pâtés, fromage de tête, boudin, cooked ham, hand-cured ham, sausages, rolled brisket... Beef and lamb are personally selected from breeders who respect animal welfare. Meat from mountain pigs, born and raised at an altitude of 1000 m in the Hautes Alpes, is processed according to ancestral recipes. This butcher's and delicatessen, located at the foot of the town's ramparts, is one of the jewels in Colmars-les-Alpes' traditional trade.

Following in Napoleon's footsteps along the road that bears his name, stop off at La Garde, a charming little village 5 km from Castellane, to discover and taste local products prepared with skill and love. Here, everything is authentic!
Our products are typical of the region and home-cooked according to traditional recipes.
For the ravioli, you'll have the privilege of choosing from an exquisite range of flavors, starting with the emblematic blend of daube and chard. The carefully crafted stuffing is prepared the day before and simmered for over 4 hours, sublimating each ingredient to create a delicious harmony of flavors that has been the mainstay of La Gardoise's success for many years.
In addition to this specialty, La Gardoise offers variations with spinach, basil, porcini mushrooms and many others. But don't forget to try our tarts, either savory or sweet. The sweet version is made with fresh seasonal fruit, for an unrivalled taste experience.

The Fulconis bakery was founded in 1891. Today, Bruno and Alisson Rambaud perpetuate authentic production methods and a taste for work well done. They offer a range of breads kneaded on site, with 100% French mountain flour from the Trièves plateau (Isère).
You'll also find a range of regional specialties, including tourte de blettes, a choice of jam tarts, and viennoiseries made with 100% Isigny PDO butter.
