Pérégrinations

Pérégrinations is a gastronomic destination in the Val de l'Indre, near Châteauroux. Menus evolve almost daily with seasonal arrivals and local producers. The kitchen works with nearby farmers, fishmongers and artisanal suppliers to highlight fresh, responsibly produced ingredients. The house prides itself on playful, surprising presentations that combine modernity with comforting, technical cooking. An intimate dining room of about fifteen covers offers discreet, attentive service by Séverine. An inner courtyard herb garden, the Jardin de prieuré, shelters plants and aromatics behind the priory wall. Modern, terroir-focused cooking places plants, aromatic herbs and edible flowers at the heart of dishes while keeping animal products in balanced support. Wines come predominantly from organic or natural producers, with cuvées chosen to pair the plate's expression. Franck Gatefin, noted 15/20 by Gault & Millau over ten years ago, is a member of the Disciples d'Escoffier, delegation Centre Val de Loire. Specialties include egg soufflé with truffle, potato with chantilly and caviar, foie gras prepared in three ways, lièvre à la royale, langoustine preparations and blue lobster with Oscietre caviar.
