It’s a trip well worth the detour, a gourmet journey to the heart of Savoie. With his extraordinary sensitivity, S\u00e9bastien Vauxion surfs the peaks with his spatulas, siphons and whips to offer up madcap sweet creations.

This gentle inventiveness has not gone unnoticed by the Michelin Guide, which has just awarded the Courchevel pastry chef a second star for his restaurant Le Sarkara.
