Régis et Jacques Marcon.

Perched high on a ridge in Saint-Bonnet-le-Froid, this family-run destination is defined by a radical devotion to the surrounding landscape. Father-and-son team Régis and Jacques Marcon have built a culinary identity around the forest floor, making mushrooms their undisputed signature. There is no rigid fixed menu here; instead, the kitchen follows a "virtuous system" where foraging and local harvests dictate the plates. Spring may bring Saugues lamb and wild herbs, while autumn is dedicated to game and hand-picked fungi. The glass-walled dining room offers expansive views of the Ardèche mountains, grounding the experience in the terroir of the Auvergne region. It is a highly intentional environment where the luxury lies in the total surrender to the seasons and the soil.
