The Auberge des Templiers, with its 80-year history, is the ideal setting for Thibault Nizard's cuisine."My arrival at L'Auberge des Templiers was spontaneous, as it's a place that perfectly suits my cuisine and my favorite ingredients: game, meat and charcuterie in general," he explains enthusiastically.

Among his flagship creations, he cites"hare à la royale, but also pies of all kinds", which reflect his gastronomic heritage marked by his time at Le Taillevent. "Today, I'm delighted to have this great challenge in my hands, and I already have many ideas for writing a new culinary page, guided by the DNA of this unique table."

By joining L'Auberge des Templiers, Thibault Nizard is poised to breathe new energy into this institution, without ever betraying its founding values.
