L’étape du Berger is a restaurant located at 2146 meters on
the legendary Route du Tourmalet, one of France’s famous hikes, to the Pic du
Midi in Bigorre (midi Pyrenées).
Roland and Juliette built the restaurant in
1969 and their children Françoise and Eric have continued the family tradition
for 25 years. A tradition that at some stage will be taken on by son Sacha.
The kitchen is traditional for the area with lots of fresh
produce from local small farms, cabbage soup, homemade charcuterie (sausages of
the local black pigs, lamb, goat, ham) and heavy duty desserts.
During summer the place is accessible on foot (and by car),
in winter by ski lift. You’ll encounter a good many berets…
