The story
La Source is the fine-dining restaurant of Domaine de la Charpinière, a hotel estate on the edge of Saint-Galmier. In 2026, it earned a Michelin star for high-quality cooking, a recognition of the kitchen’s consistency and creativity. The restaurant is set within a three-hectare wooded park, where the renovated estate surrounds a century-old dovecote. The atmosphere is refined yet welcoming, with contemporary interiors and outdoor seating on the terrace. The team takes great care in every detail, from the food to the service.
The cuisine at La Source is modern and driven by the seasons. The chefs work with the best local products, letting the ingredients express themselves. Menus change regularly, offering a progression of flavours that reflect the Forez terroir. This modern cuisine is both precise and generous, with dishes that balance tradition and invention. A set lunch menu is available, and the restaurant can accommodate private events in its dedicated rooms.
La Source is one of two restaurants on the estate, alongside the brasserie Le 1933. Guests can also enjoy the wellness spa, outdoor heated pool, and fitness facilities. The hotel offers contemporary rooms and suites, making it possible to extend a meal into a longer stay. Whether for a special occasion or a quiet dinner, La Source provides a setting that is both elegant and comfortable.
