Bresse poultry with cream sauce A classic that verges on perfection

It’s impossible to talk about the flavors of the Ain without mentioning its queen: Bresse poultry. Free-range, grain-fed, pampered right up to the plate… it’s unique, protected and recognized the world over. And when it meets Bresse PDO cream, it’s a timeless experience. A creamy sauce, delicate aromas, slow cooking… A signature dish of the region, to be savored during your stay, especially when prepared where it all began.

Frogs cooked the Dombes way The art of keeping it simple and tasty

In the Dombes region, fresh frogs aren’t just a dish: they’re a signature. Pan-fried over a high heat, generously drizzled with Bresse butter and seasoned with garlic and parsley, they’re still crackling when they reach the table. There’s no fuss here, just real, local taste. Enjoy them with your fingers, on a terrace, by a pond… and you’ll immediately understand why it’s a tradition passed down, like a recipe for happiness.
