Shared Experience
Your experience

    I invite you to experience a unique "slunch", a perfect blend of afternoon snack and aperitif, inspired by the French casse-croûte or goûter. It’s the ideal moment when lunch feels too far away, but dinner is still on the horizon—best enjoyed at twilight, when the mountains are bathed in a magical light.

    This will be a relaxed and convivial occasion to savor delicious local specialties, paired with a fine glass of wine, a traditional drink, or a Valdostan-inspired cocktail. All in a casual and informal setting, surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of the Alps.

    A perfect experience for those who love good food, great company, and the charm of the mountains!

    Notre expérience gastronomique chez Franca et sa famille est probablement le meilleur cadeau d’anniversaire que j’ai eu de ma vie. Nous avons été accueillis mon mari et moi de façon très chaleureuse et avons pu assister et écouter les explications de Franca lorsqu’elle a préparé le succulent risotto à la fontine. Le repas avec les vol-au-vent à la fondue de fontine en entrée, risotto, veau délicat avec carpaccio de tomates du jardin, et pour finir les pêches au four aux biscuits amaretti. Quel régal ! Merci infiniment Franca, pour votre cuisine rare et excellente, ainsi que votre accueil très convivial. Je vous recommanderai vivement à tous ceux qui veulent connaître non seulement la cuisine valdôtaine, piémontaise et même d’autres régions d’Italie, mais aussi avoir le plaisir de faire la connaissance de personnes charmantes. À bientôt j’espère !

    Inoubliable soirée pour mon anniversaire 🤗 - July 2025

    Valle d'Aosta is the ideal place to enjoy traditional dishes, visit castles and, in summer, gaze at the star-filled sky while surrounded by nature.  "I think I was born in the kitchen. I was lucky enough to have stay-at-home grandmothers who were very skilled in preparing local traditional foods," recounts Cesarina Franca.  Franca’s cooking is first and foremost based on using fresh products. She grows her own vegetables in the garden, collects wild herbs and mushrooms from the places her grandmothers took her to as a child. Everything else that she needs, such as eggs, cheese and meat, she buys near her home, directly from local breeders and farmers.  Since Valle d'Aosta is an area that combines Italian, French and Swiss traditions, Franca's cooking is full of surprises.
