An authentic inn-restaurant in the heart of the Mézenc, where local flavors and creativity meet at the table.
Welcome to Jean le Dindon, a gourmet stopover
nestled in the village of Chaudeyrolles.
A sincere cuisine, rooted in tradition,
yet boldly embracing modernity.
Come enjoy a unique culinary experience,
where conviviality meets discovery.
A place, an experience
More than an inn, a gourmet haven in the heart of nature
At 1,300 meters above sea level, Auberge Jean le Dindon invites you to slow down and savour the moment.
Here, each season shapes the landscape
and inspires our cuisine.
Whether you’re passing through on a hike
across the Mézenc or seeking an authentic getaway,
our inn welcomes you for a timeless pause,
surrounded by the warmth of wood,
comforting aromas, and genuine conviviality.
Let’s eat!
A heartfelt and creative cuisine rooted in local traditions
Here, nature guides the menu.
Our chef elevates the products of Mézenc and Haute-Loire, blending tradition and modernity.
From the famous Fin Gras du Mézenc with wild herbs
to plant-based dishes inspired by our surroundings,
every plate tells a story — that of a generous and unspoiled land.
Whether you’re a lover of comforting cuisine
or eager to explore new flavors, let yourself be surprised by an authentic culinary experience, in harmony with the seasons and local producers.
Behind the Dindon, a tale of passion and land
At Auberge Jean le Dindon, every dish, every glass, and every smile
carries the spirit of those who bring this place to life.
Fabrice, in the kitchen, and Caroline, the hostess,
share a deep love for local traditions, good food, and genuine hospitality.
Together, they envisioned this inn as an open house for all —
a place to feast, reconnect, and savour the passing of time.
