Neige & Merveilles :

an environmental approach

In the hamlet of La Minière in Vallauria, not far from Tende, the Neige & Merveilles association offers accommodation and catering. The establishment is committed to an environmental approach. Water and energy conservation, exterior lighting designed to avoid nuisance to nocturnal insects, waste sorting, eco-labelled products, no pesticides used in the upkeep of green spaces – these are the general operating principles. At the restaurant, you’ll find organic and local produce for a good half of the menu, but above all, you’ll be questioning and seeking to improve your approach time and time again. This is an address firmly rooted in ecological commitment!

Le Prieuré :

a project for social inclusion

In Saint-Dalmas-de-Tende, Le Prieuré is a hotel-restaurant unlike any other in more ways than one. A restored former monastery, it offers hotel rooms and restaurants. While the beauty of the setting is certainly not lacking in seduction, Le Prieuré is run by an ESAT, an Etablissement et Service d’Aide par le Travail, which takes in around 70 disabled people. In short, it’s a social inclusion project. If you’re passing through Tende, be sure to pay a visit!

Hartmonie:

an inclusive restaurant

La Petite Epicerie de Saorge:

“zero waste and sustainable food

La Petite Epicerie de Saorge is a unique grocery-restaurant with a clear commitment to “zero waste”, “accepted containers” and “suspended coffee”. A member of the Écotable community, an association that promotes sustainable food, the place prides itself on its product-based cuisine, local recipes and heart-warming conviviality. A little nugget open all year round!

Esatitude Menton

and the Zeste de Menton brand

Since 1977, Esatitude Menton has been supporting mentally handicapped people through their work, and as part of this, is helping to develop the IGP Menton lemon sector. In 2015, a new step was taken: the Zeste de Menton brand, specializing in delicatessen products based around Menton lemons, was created. In 2017, a confectionery and cookie workshop joins the family. The brand is pretty, the commitment incredible and richly deserving of support, but above all their products are delicious. Let’s run to the Menton, Riviera & Merveilles Tourist Office store to taste them!
