In a unique setting on the ramparts of Langres - Europe's largest fortified town - this charming restaurant now celebrates the local produce of the Haute-Marne region with boldness and refinement. The brainchild of chef Laurent Petit, the restaurant is now run by a passionate young duo: Anaïs Bercegeay, an inspired sommelier, and Valentin Loison, a talented chef who has won the acclaim of the Michelin-starred chefs he has worked alongside. In the heart of the thousand-year-old city of Diderot, in this historic 19th-century residence, every moment is a pleasure to savour. At the Bulle d'Osier gourmet restaurant, Valentin's cooking sublimates local flavours, while the Mirabelle restaurant offers a more authentic and committed style, and is also more accessible with moderate prices. The seasonal dishes are reminiscent of the indulgent flavours of family lunches: our grandmothers' tarts are something we'll never tire of. You can extend your trip by making a reservation at the hotel: climb the red-carmine stone steps quarried in the Langroise quarry, push open the period wooden and wrought-iron door and you'll find yourself at the foot of the monumental staircase! In this majestic yet gentle setting, you'll feel as if you're being welcomed into a friend's home, an impression reinforced by the collection of antique furniture that adorns the premises. In the Haussmann-style bedrooms, every detail is the start of new memories: a pair of bathtubs head to foot at the foot of the bed for an intimate interlude, a walk in the vegetable garden to reconnect with nature...
At Les Riceys, in the heart of the Côte des Bar region of Champagne, a discreet but dazzling renaissance has taken place behind the immaculate facade of a building steeped in history. Once a hospice and then a wine-growing school, it has now been transformed into a charming hotel and restaurant, where light wood, plants and warm colours invite you to relax. In the kitchen, the chef, a craftsman of local flavours, orchestrates a daring score: a Champagne emulsion that sparkles in the mouth, a melting andouillette from Troyes sublimated by a creamy Chaource and that subtle touch of Aube chilli that awakens the taste buds. An address where terroir and gourmet delights come together, for a suspended gourmet moment.
This year, from January to September, Mulhouse celebrates its 800th anniversary with an artistic effervescence that in places transforms the city into an open-air museum. Exhibitions, lectures, art walks and immersive experiences plunge visitors into the heart of its vibrant history. Once an industrial city, the town has reinvented itself as a hotbed of creativity. Renowned as the "street art capital of Alsace", its walls tell the story of its past and its aspirations through monumental frescoes that we never tire of admiring. A downloadable circuit and guided tours allow you to explore the different facets of this urban metamorphosis. 800 years old and Mulhouse has never been so lively... Ready to (re)discover it?
The Grand Est region is famous for its potters, who perpetuate time-honoured skills in the service of a cuisine that may be gourmet, but is above all comforting. Today, the potters of Alsace can obtain the "Poteries d'Alsace" designation, by respecting specific and traditional manufacturing techniques. When the cold weather sets in, what better way to warm up than with a typical Alsatian dish! Baeckeoffe, sauerkraut, kougelhopf - these tasty regional dishes are simmered in containers that are themselves made in the region. Often decorated with hand-painted floral or geometric motifs, their deep shape allows the ingredients to be evenly distributed for perfect cooking. There's still plenty of tradition to enjoy!
The Voie Bleue owes its name to the Moselle, which accompanies it from start to finish: the blue of the river follows us like our shadow! In the Grand Est region, the Voie Bleue follows the river for almost 250km via the towpaths and the Canal des Vosges. It's a completely flat stretch, but above all it's reserved exclusively for bikes: ideal for a first cycling experience. The gentle setting sets the tone: you pedal at your own pace, with the sole aim of enjoying the scenery, its colours and the animals that thrive there, as evidenced by the concert of chirping birds! At once historic, heritage, cultural and gastronomic, the Voie Bleue en Grand Est is the route for every kind of initiation!
As you stroll through Mulhouse, one thing strikes you: art has taken over the town! The city's first painted wall dates back to 1552, and the tradition has continued ever since. Today, you can discover art in all its forms in the city: from mural frescoes to iron sculptures and the hijacking of road signs, art is everywhere! In the various districts, the walls are rarely bare, and the artists have left their mark for us to enjoy. At the junction of Rue de l'Arsenal and Grand Rue in Mulhouse, you'll find one of the most beautiful murals in the world by Vinie Graffiti: it was awarded the title in 2021 by the Street Art Cities application. What makes it special? The building's shutters are part of the decor - it's simply fascinating! Shall we take a look?
