Gastronomy
of the region

The famous Coffee & Croissant

The traditional French breakfast is a cup of espresso and a fresh croissant enjoyed at the café counter. According to the famous pastry chef Christophe Felder, there are no fewer than 50 key stages to be mastered before you can make a good croissant. The quality of the flour and butter, the working of the dough, the shaping, the heat of the oven and the cooking time all play a crucial role, so it's quite an art! Test that art for yourself on your first morning in France.

Herb-crusted rack of lamb

Recipe provided by François, Chef at the Belambra Hotel in Dourdan

Mix 400 g of flour and 250 g of coarse salt together in a salad bowl. Add 1 egg white and 100 ml water. Shape the dough into a ball and leave to rise. Sprinkle it with thyme and stretch it thinly. Preheat the oven to 240 °C. Wrap the dough around an 800 g rack of lamb with bones trimmed and exposed. Coat the crust with cumin, thyme, rosemary and pepper. Roast for 35 minutes, break the salt crust and serve.
