Mickaelle Chabat and chefs Louis-Philippe Riel and Alexis Bijaoui painstakingly restored an abandoned farmhouse in La Roche, 70km inland from Nice, to create their mountain idyll. The destination gourmet inn has two bedrooms and three suites with views of the mountains and valley, and a spa with heated outdoor stone baths and a sauna on the way for 2024. Riel, formerly of 6 Paul Bert and Cave Paul Bert, and Alexis Bijaoui, who has been sous to Alain Passard and Dan Barber, make the journey off the beaten track more than worthwhile with their hyper-local approach to seasonal cuisine (produce is local or from their own permaculture garden) and carte blanche offering of seven courses and four snacks.
