Le canard d'Autrefoie, in Caudrot
"Véronique and Sébastien, who run the farm, wrote to me when I arrived in Bommes. They invited me to come and discover their small production and let me taste a foie gras just pan-fried... The smell alone took me back to distant memories! The fat was fluorescent yellow, a sign of high quality and healthily-fed duck.It gave me chills!" recalls Jérôme Schilling, who adds that he also cooks their duck breasts at the restaurant. "Every year, I also take part in their Christmas market, which they organize in their own home," he adds.

Les couteaux de Savignac, in Foix
Jérôme Schilling had a very specific idea of the knives he wanted for Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey in Bommes. "When I was little, my father always had a knife in his pocket when we went for a walk. He used it to cut bread, for example. So I wanted a strong link to the land, to the terroir, with the idea of a handle that resembled the color of the soil. There's a lot of limestone around the château, so Savignac Cutlery came up with handles in Corian, a highly resistant and speckled material".Jérôme Schilling, who points out that the cutlery also has a store in Foix.

"The owner of the château is Swiss, and Felchlin's chocolates are very special. For example, they have a chocolate with woody, smoky notes, which is very distinctive. What's more,it's a chocolate that works very well for our pastries. "
