Restaurant
La Table de Yoann Conte
Tables hold carved wooden mountain sculptures in the two-Michelin-starred dining room. Courses draw on wild alpine herbs and Breton seafood.
At the table
Breakfast is laid across a rustic counter with fresh brioche loaves and regional mountain cheeses.
How it began
Chef Marc Veyrat opened the original auberge in 1992, handing the house to his former apprentice Yoann Conte in 2010.
