Discover authentic Bugey
Présentation
After a tasting of beneficial plants at the Kario distillery, you can choose between a visit to Belley in the tradition of the famous gastronome Brillat-Savarin, or a visit to the Maison d'Izieu, a memorial site of national importance.
10h
Over a century ago, Brother Henri-Marie, a herbalist with the Confrérie des Frères de la Sainte Famille, perfected a secret formula. No fewer than 32 wild plants gathered in the region gave birth to Kario, a tonic and restorative drink. After a delicate maceration in oak casks (some of which can hold up to 18,000 liters) and surrounded by the scent of aromatic plants, distillation takes place in traditional steam-heated stills. After the guided tour, you'll be able to sample a wide selection of beneficial herbal beverages.
Lunch at the Auberge de Contrevoz, where you can sample cuisine prepared with fresh seasonal produce.
Suggested menu:
Pink trout rillettes with herbs and Bugey wine
Ballotine of Ain free-range chicken with Bresse cream
Potato galette with onions and smoked bacon
Arabica and almond tiramisu with grué tuile
¼ of wine and coffee
15h
Option 1: Belley, the historic and religious capital of Bugey, reveals its secrets. The birthplace of Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, Belley's cultural and architectural wealth will surprise you. Follow in the footsteps of an experienced guide as you discover ancient convents, push open the doors of rich inner courtyards and wander through streets and alleys in the footsteps of the past. The old stones will tell you their stories - just listen!
Option 2: Guided tour of Maison d'Izieu, the memorial to exterminated Jewish children. This place of history and remembrance perpetuates the memory of the Jewish children and adults who found refuge there from May 1943 to the roundup on April 6, 1944. It is committed to the present and looks to the future, encouraging reflection on crimes against humanity and the circumstances that gave rise to them, as well as on intolerance and racism. Visit the exhibitions.
