With its iconic wines, Burgundy and more specifically Côte d’Or, holds quite a few surprises. One of which, La Ferme de la Ruchotte, we stumbled upon last Sunday, in the form of a nine-course, vol-au-vent centred lunch, based on organic local fare including rare species of home-raised fowl.

Lunch with a view at La Villa Madie, the newest 3 Michelin star restaurant in France headed by chef Dimitri Droisneau. The view of the sea and the pinetrees is magnificent, the cooking- even more so. Originally from the Normandy, Dimitri has worked at top restaurants in Paris such as…
