Do you know what Blue Thistle is? If you answer this question in the negative, you haven't been in the department for long! The reputation of this pastry, which has been around for over half a century, has spread beyond the borders of the city of Saint-Just-Saint-Rambert. Here, it's top-of-the-line! Pastries (traditional or personalized desserts, farandole of pies, set pieces and American-style wedding cake), macaroons, chocolates, ice cream and sorbets are concocted by a master chocolatier, Olivier Buisson. He will share some of his secrets with you so that you too can bake during theme classes on Saturday afternoons!

Jasseries are farm buildings typical of the Forez mountain pastures, used to make cheeses such as rigottes and fourmes d'Ambert and Montbrison. Here, you'll also find cheeses from all over France, Great Britain and Holland, rigorously selected for quality. Looking for an original cheese? Opt for the Camembert, a beer-aged cheese from Brasserie de la Loire, the Claousou encircled by its spruce strap, or the succulent Brillat-Savarin with truffles!

Anne-Laure, a biochemist, after experimenting with various recipes has chosen to create unfiltered, unpasteurized artisanal beers. You will be able to discover beers produced annually and others seasonally like the Pampille, Christmas brunette with spices of spices, spring Garipotte blonde spring, or Boulonji, an unspoiled beer with toasted bread. So instead of choosing major national brands and even international brands, why not trust a local brewer who will bring you certified 100% organic and artisanal beers with original flavors?

Ever heard of a beer cellar? Well, we've spotted La Cave du Malt, located in Saint-Just-Saint-Rambert, which puts beer in the spotlight, offering a wide range of unusual nectars such as nettle beer, wine beer and whisky beer. Jean-Philippe goes in search of treasures throughout the region and offers a wide choice of beers, both classic and unusual. But that's not all: on Friday evenings, the cellar opens its doors and invites you to share a themed evening of mainly local beers, accompanied by terrines, saucissons and cheeses. An excellent way to start the weekend!
