Welcome to
Le Petit Léon

A small discovery. Our restaurant is driven by local produce, serving modern fine dining food inspired by our surroundings, our travels and our international heritage. Everything about our food and service is connected, which allows us to harmoniously blend our modern cuisine with the historic spirit of one of France's most beautiful villages. Photos: Emilie Soler
