In the heart of the Massif du Sancy - Auvergne, in the thermal and ski town of Mont-Dore, the former Première Classe restaurant of the Palace Le Sarciron, has been brought back to life, since 2017, in the form of a unique Concept Store offering a same place a Fine Grocery, Confectionery Chocolate Factory, a Home Decoration universe "Creator of Atmospheres", a hotel suite "Le Boudoir" and a Tasting area - Tea Room.

Elegant furniture, woodwork, comfortable rattan armchairs, soft light from the "top hat" chandeliers: the Tasting area - "Monsieur Aurélien" Tea Room is a little world in itself.

"Monsieur Aurélien" combines elegance, charm and refinement to offer you moments of calm between serenity and indulgence... like in the Belle Epoque.

All the products offered and served come exclusively from the Fine Grocery - Confectionery - Chocolate Factory.

GOURMET BREAK AT ANY TIME

You will taste one of the 30 Mariage Frères teas, one of the 5 “Monsieur Aurélien” hot chocolates or even a Patrick Font nectar / fruit juice...
Without forgetting to accompany them with Travel Cakes: Proust's Madeleine just warmed, a Baulois - the Real Chocolate Fondant, a few slices of Spice Cake from Maison Toussaint... or other sweets: platter of sweet treats composed of fruit jellies and candied fruits from Maison Cruzilles.
In fine weather, enjoy the terrace, comfortably seated in large, slightly inclined armchairs - in the spirit of the iconic armchairs of the Luxembourg Gardens. Ideal for enjoying a sundae of ice creams and sorbets from Sancy Glaces.

NB: For each person: hot or cold drink accompanied by a treat.
To respect the intimate side of the place and offer you the best experience, the 4 tables of 2 people cannot be grouped together.

AT LUNCH

“Monsieur Aurélien” offers you light, quality meals served, mostly in glass jars.
The jars are made by the Conserverie Marc Sandevoir, located in Ardèche, with one obsession: the taste for eating well.
A wide range of artisanal jars ranging from soups/veloutés, meat, fish, vegetarian dishes and desserts.
Unique recipes - without preservatives, without coloring, without additives, they are made with ingredients from sustainable agriculture and/or organic products produced in France.
In addition, the glass jar is a completely recyclable and durable container, which preserves the flavor and integrity of the dishes.
The jars are reheated in the steam oven to preserve all the taste quality.

Aurélien

For 13 years, I managed the luxury hotel group “Les Hôtels Particuliers”. Founded and chaired by Philippe Savry, the brand strived to restore a soul to the heritage of places as emblematic as the Abbey of Vaux-de-Cernay, the Citadelle Vauban of Belle-Île-en-mer, as well as the Château of Varillettes, in Cantal…

As I turned 40, I wanted to create my own place of art of living: a “home” combining the good and the beautiful, refinement and authenticity.

I then discovered the Sarciron, an old palace which, during the glorious era of the Belle Epoque, rivaled the Ritz, the Négresco or the Carlton. With the golden age of hydrotherapy, Mont-Dore was then a very fashionable resort.

It was in the “first class” dining room of the former Spa Palace, decorated by me, that I created “Monsieur Aurélien”, a concept store combining Fine Food Shops, Confectionery Chocolate Shops and Tea Rooms.
I wanted to reconnect with the charms of the Belle Époque in the service of indulgence and the art of living.
I offer a selection of high-end products from French artisans, some of which bear the EPV label: Bonnat chocolatier, Maison Cruzilles, Mariage Frères, Conserverie La Belle-Iloise, Maison Laborie cured meats, etc.

Made up of a few tables of two, my intimate tea room invites you to taste the products on sale at the boutique. The best-seller is the just-warmed Proust madeleine, which can be enjoyed with a choice of 5 old-fashioned hot chocolates to recall childhood memories.
When he came to take the waters at the Thermal Baths, Marcel Proust was a regular there.

In 2022, I was able to transform the neighboring store into a space of more than 20m2 dedicated to decoration in a “country & mountain chic” spirit.
I offer a complete range of tableware, decorative objects, household linen, small furniture, curtains, cushions, throws, custom-made upholstery fabrics with mainly French brands: Arpin, Maison Yak, Manufacture by Digoin, Sylvie Thiriez, La Rochère…

In June 2023, I resumed my hotelier role by creating “Le Boudoir Monsieur Aurélien” - an atypical luxurious hotel suite of 25m2, just above my boutique.
This high-end setting dedicated to the Belle Époque combines the quality of a hotel, the charm of a guest house and the freedom of a rental. I have preserved the soul of the place - full of history and authenticity - and created a careful and elegant decoration with only French brands, mainly offered in my shop.
