Feurs, France
Chalet de la Boule d'Or
In the Loire plain market town of Feurs, Chalet de la Boule d'Or represents a category of French provincial dining that the country's gastronomic reputation was built on: kitchens anchored to their agricultural surroundings, cooking that earns its credibility from what grows and grazes nearby rather than from metropolitan acclaim. For travellers crossing the Loire corridor between Lyon and the Auvergne highlands, it is the kind of address that rewards the detour.
