Saint Martin Lestra, France
L'Ecole
L'Ecole sits along the route de Bouchala in Saint-Martin-Lestra, a small commune in the Loire département of France's Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. The address places it firmly in rural French dining territory, where the relationship between kitchen and surrounding land tends to define the character of a meal far more directly than in any urban setting. For travellers who follow French regional cooking seriously, this corner of the Loire hills rewards attention.
