Emmanuel Renaut's good addresses
Emmanuel Renaut, chef of the Flocons de Sel restaurant, reveals the best places to buy bread, meat and preserves.
Emmanuel Renaut, chef at the head of the Flocons de Sel restaurant (5 toques) in Megève, is renowned for his bold cuisine, deeply rooted in the Alpine terroir. A great lover of the mountains, he draws his inspiration not only from the surrounding natural environment, but also from the know-how of the producers and craftsmen with whom he enjoys a privileged relationship. Today, he reveals the names of the passionate men and women who accompany him on a daily basis, from the Reblochon producer to the old-fashioned butcher, each helping to shape the excellence of his cuisine and the authenticity of his dishes.
Preserves from Maison Telme, Peyruis
For quality preserves, Emmanuel Renaut trusts Maison Telme. "They make a lot of terrines and a few aromates. We've created two terrines together", explains the chef. The first is with venison, wild mushrooms and hides a generous heart of duck foie gras, while the second is with pork, with Alpine juniper and Mont-Blanc gin.

Les miches à Lulu, in Digne-les-Bains
For good bread, Emmanuel Renaut recommends Les miches à Lulu, a bakery in Digne-les-Bains. "He's a baker who only works with sourdough. He makes great products and his petit épeautre bread is extraordinary! If you're in the area, it's definitely worth making a detour."

The abundance of GAEC des Alpagistes, Megève

Meat from Boucherie Baffert, Pont-de-Beauvoisin
When Emmanuel Renaut walks through the doors of Boucherie Baffert, the chef has the impression of stepping back in time. "Victorien is young, but he's an old-fashioned butcher," laughs the chef. "When I go there, I want to buy everything! He does really great sourcing and I love his bavette and veal spider."
