The Lautaret Workshop

Véronique and Jérôme FOUVET were beekeepers for nearly 15 years. Since 2021, they have been focusing exclusively on creating and developing a variety of gourmet recipes made with honey, as well as a line of beauty products.

Based at the Col du Lautaret since 2007, at an altitude of over 2,000 meters, Véronique and Jérôme enjoy processing honeycomb products. Their specialties include pure honey gingerbread, a hiker’s energy bar, as well as nougat, honey jams, honey syrup, honey vinegar, and spreads… They also process propolis to make day creams and skincare products.
