Another Alpine distillery awaits you near the Ecrins National Park . In the hamlet of Les Boussardes in Serre-Chevalier, the Distillerie des 4 Frères has put down its roots in this territory full of age-old traditions. This identity can be found in the liqueurs, brandies and aromatized wines which are distilled on the spot. This family enterprise is tenue by a friendly group of brothers and sisters who will give you a warm welcome during your holidays in the Alps. If you prefer gentler beverages, head for the Brasserie du Comté in Saint-Martin-de-Vésubie. A stone’s throw from Nice, it produces everything naturally from local resources to allow all the aromas to express themselves. White beer, lager or stout: enjoy them and quench your thirst!
