Welcoming you
I am Karine, your host.
Passionate about nutrition and prioritizing human relationships and a healthy lifestyle, I welcome you together with my husband Angelo to make your stay a unique interlude of flavors and memories.
The House is not a hotel, and certainly not a gîte. We welcome you as our family members, whatever your stay.
Here, we are guided by a humanist and eco-responsible approach.
This approach is an extension of my passion for health and nutrition.
So, nature and quality of what we have on our plates remain fundamental for us. The best local products, mostly organic, are the source of my home-cooked meals, which are highly diversified and balanced.
Sharing special moments of conviviality around this table adds a humanist dimension to this approach.
With Three Inspiring Stays
Based on these values, I have prepared three inspiring stays for you :
. Séjour Maison : a half board stay in one of the luxury rooms/suites of the House
We will share breakfasts, dinners and other convivial moments together, respecting your needs and aspirations.
We will guide you to the best local producers and must-see sites in the area
Full board on request outside the summer season
. Séjour Sur Mesure : a Séjour Maison, customized on your wishes and including activities and/or traetments that I can book for you with local professionals before or during your visit
. Séjour Equilibre et Découvertes : a full board Séjour Maison entirely designed for you, including a culinary workshop and nutrition advice, manual, physical and intellectual activities, rest, and beneficial treatments, to raise awareness of the importance of overall well-being and to maintain health and balance, taking care of your body and mind with competent and attentive professionals
Contact me at +33 (0)6 33 94 86 68 for details and dates of the upcoming stays Equilibre et Découvertes !
NB : activities and/or treatments are independent from the House (except Mon reflet dans l’Assiette’s services); they are to be paid directly to the service providers whatever your stay.
And Healthy Gastronomy
My cuisine is a responsible home cooking with a wide range of culinary inspirations.
My meals are as balanced, healthy and easy to digest as they are appetizing, gourmet and tasty, always with respect for taste and health.
I use ingredients of the highest nutritional quality, carefully selected from the garden, the market, organic stores and/or local farmers and artisans.
My favorite suppliers (non-exhaustive list): l’AMAP du Carladès à Vic, L’Echo paysan et Biocoop l’Arbre à Pain à Aurillac, which select the best of what we eat here.
I cook and feed you in the contemporary kitchen-dining room where you are welcome for meals.
Breakfast at the guest table is copious and varied, both savoury and sweet.
Other meals are also part of the family guest table, seasonal and nutritionally balanced, and generally comprise a light amuse-bouche and aperitif, a starter, main course and dessert.
Water, tea, coffee and other infusions are available on request. Wines can be served with the dishes, and are carefully selected from the region. I don't serve sodas or other drinks with added sugar or artificial sweeteners.
I don't use products from the food industry.
During your stay at the House, you can join me in preparing the guest table meals at no extra charge. During your Séjour Sur Mesure or Equilibre et Découvertes or upon request before your stay, you may also participate to my cooking class.es.
