Jérôme AURELLE
Chef : 1 restaurant North of Montpellier, in the heart of the countryside, the Auberge de Saugras has been run for over thirty years by chef Jérôme Aurelle and his wife Aurore.Jérôme Aurelle, a chef of Aveyron origin, says without batting an eyelid: "I've always loved eating well and cooking. So it was only natural for him to start training at the Villefranche-de-Rouergue hotel school in 1985. He spent two years there, before doing his military service. At the end of his military service, he spent three seasons working for chef Jean-Michel Papillon at the Hôtel du Midi in Saint-Jean-du-Bruel.
In 1990, together with his parents, he decided to transform a farmhouse half an hour north of Montpellier into a hotel-restaurant: the Auberge de Saugras, in Argelliers (Hérault). His future wife, Aurore, soon joined the adventure. For several years now, their son Guilhem has been assisting them, thanks in particular to his sommelier training, which complements a traditional French cuisine, awarded 2 Gault&Millau toques, that respects the seasons and local produce to the full.
