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.
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.
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.
