Discover the Dévoluy’s savoir-faire

The Dévoluy is full of passionate talents who bring its terroir and its artisanat alive. At the Brasserie Interstellaire du Dévoluy, whose name is an allusion to the neighbouring site of the interferometre on the Plateau de Bure, well-known for its huge satellite dishes, you can explore a creative brewing world where the artisanal beers are developed with care and brewed with the mountain waters of the Dévoluy. In the same vein, the Brasserie La Bure focuses on local flavours, offering beers with subtle notes made with barley and rye grown in the Dévoluy. And for a moment of relaxation and tenderness, and adorableness, the Asinerie Les Ânes de Milou invites you to discover the gentle and benevolent world of donkeys and see how natural asses’ milk natural soap is made. Nearer La Joue du Loup, the Ferme Flouka showcases local merino wool with its artisanal creations and educational visits surrounded by ewes and lambs. Simply adorable!
