Artisanal charcuterie, such as Savoy ham or dry sausage, is the perfect accompaniment to festive meals.
You'll also find poultry like guinea fowl or the authentic Diot sausage served with Crozets pasta.
During the Christmas season, desserts take on a special place.
In Maurienne, you can happily enjoy a soft bugne (a type of fried pastry), Savoy rissoles (a type of pastry), the traditional Savoy cake, or even a homemade Yule log with Alpine flavors (blueberry, génépi liqueur, hazelnut).
