Gourmet products local specialties and wines Vals-Les-Bains

Béatrix, named after the nearby spring, a large charming red house, has been established since 1930. We stop to have a drink, eat pancakes and waffles, and enjoy an ice cream. The ice creams are homemade, classic or original. Order Dominique Cerdini's vacherin or cassate. His brother, Guillaume Cerdini, for his part, signs a beautiful declination of chocolates. In summer, on the terrace, the house proposes a small inventive restoration along the Volane. Some concerts are scheduled in summer. Another address of the sign in Vallon-Pont-d'Arc.

On the fringes of the Béatrix house, Guillaume Cerdini creates chocolates and macaroons with exceptional flavours, daring to make daring mixtures without denying his classics. His shop in Vals is like a showroom where the seasonal collections are presented, to be tasted on the spot or to take away. From ganaches to macaroons, including cassates, delicious Italian-style ice creams, a journey for the taste buds and a gourmet address not to be missed in Vals! Dare to try the mango/citronella, violin de Borée or truffle macaroons, and the blueberry coated with chocolate.

It is the temple of the macaroon and the chocolate! Didier Laurent is a renowned pastry chef and chocolatier. His collection of homemade chocolates is a delight for the gourmets. In summer, it is here that one comes to seek an ice cream and all the year of the macaroons of exception, stones of Volane or a pastry of quality. The products are made as often as possible with local products (cream, milk, fruit, chestnuts...) and following the seasons. Pastry classes from 12 years old.

Although modest in size, the town of Vals-les-Bains remains one of the region's urban centers, and has long been a center of trade for the surrounding rural communities. So it's only natural that the town's streets were home to a number of markets, which still exist today and offer a chance to get to know the local culture while shopping for fresh produce direct from the producers. Every Thursday and Sunday morning on rue Jean-Jaurès, and every Thursday evening in summer in the spa district.
