🍂 Autumnal Pumpkin and Picodon Muffins 🍁 (08/11/2023)

In this time when the vibrant colors of autumn paint our landscapes, there's nothing quite like a recipe combining local produce to awaken your taste buds. Today, the Tourist Office of Pays de Lamastre invites you to discover a delicious creation: pumpkin and Picodon muffins.

 

📜 Recipe for Pumpkin and Picodon Muffins (serves 6)

 

Ingredients:


- 1 mature Picodon cheese
- 200g pumpkin
- 2 onions
- 100g pancetta
- 2 tablespoons of oil
- 2 eggs
- 70g flour
- 1 packet of baking powder
- 40g soft butter
- Pepper

 

Instructions:

 

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (th. 6/7).

2. Preparing the pumpkin: Cut the pumpkin into pieces and cook for 20 minutes in boiling water. Once cooked, drain and mash.

3. Preparing the main ingredients: Slice the onions, grate the Picodon cheese, and cut the pancetta into small pieces. In a pan, sauté the onions over medium heat, add the pancetta, and cook for 5 minutes.

4. Making the muffin batter: In a bowl, mix the softened butter and beaten eggs. Add the flour, baking powder, pumpkin puree, pancetta, onions, and grated Picodon cheese. Season with pepper and mix gently.

5. Baking the muffins: Pour this mixture into a muffin tin or six small ramekins. Bake for approximately 20 minutes.

 

These delightful muffins can be enjoyed warm or cold, as an appetizer or an entrée, accompanied by a fresh lamb's lettuce salad to enhance the tasting experience.

 

This recipe, provided by the Picodon Union, celebrates the authentic flavors of our region. The union of pumpkin, an autumn emblem, with Picodon cheese, a typical cheese of our region, transports you into a symphony of tastes and traditions.

 

🍽️ Enjoy your meal and happy tasting!

ILLUMINATED CHRISTMAS IN THE pays de LAMASTRE

For an unusual Christmas, but a Christmas nevertheless, the Lamastre Tourist Office, the Union of Economic Partners of the Lamastre Canton and the brand new Lamastre Festival Committee have worked together to create this project which, in the absence of the traditional "Christmas in Lamastre", will warm our hearts...

 

This solidarity action, which will take place from December 8 to 24, aims to rally hearts around the beautiful spirit of Christmas while keeping our distance! 

 

Light is the key word of this illuminated operation based on 3 ideas: 

 

1/ Local businesses are invited by the Union des Commerçants to light up their windows to shine in the light of the beautiful month of December!
By lighting their shop windows they continue to bring the magic of Christmas to life and highlight their pretty gift ideas. Information : contact@upec-lamastre.com

 

2/ The inhabitants of Lamastre are invited by the Festivities Committee of Lamastre to participate in a photo contest of luminous decorations. Participations and information at the following address: comitefeteslamastre@gmail.com 

 

3/ The Tourist Office of the Pays de Lamastre invites the inhabitants of the area to gather around a simple gesture: light a candle at their window every evening! This sparkle should shine in the heart of everyone and rekindle the flame of the Christmas spirit. Information: ot.lamastre@orange.fr


These three actions only make sense thanks to the participation of each and every one of you!
Thank you all for your contribution to the success of this warm operation.

THE INTERMUNICIPAL TOURIST OFFICE OBTAINS ITS CLASSIFICATION IN CATEGORY II - PREFECTORAL DECREE OF 26 JUNE 2019 (08/27/2019)

Like the accommodation, the tourist offices can also be classified. If the former are in stars, the latter are divided into categories: I (the highest) and then II and III.

The decision to classify depends on the validation of the many imposed criteria. These are divided into two main themes:

obligations relating to the reception of visitors, including in particular: the reception facilities (Lamastre and Désaignes), their accessibility; updated information, available, particularly on the Internet, in two languages in addition to French.
internal organisation obligations, in particular: sufficient, qualified and experienced staff; organisation of information management: Apidae database; relations and services to service providers.
The objective of sustainable development is also taken into account.

The achievement of this classification is the result of the work carried out for many years by the team of the Intercommunal Tourism Office. It is also a recognition of the professionalism of the staff.

Since this ranking has been obtained for 5 years, the team thus recognized will continue its actions in order to maintain its commitment to the tourist and economic service providers of our territory and to the visitors and tourists we welcome.

SUMMER PROMISES TO BE EVEN MORE FESTIVE IN AUGUST! (07/30/19)

Chestnuts (09/25/18)

Even if some of them have already left the branch, most of them still gild themselves with the pill in the sun! Our pretty chestnuts are well protected in their bugs to grow bigger before emancipating themselves. Even if some of them start falling into our slopes, none of them are orphans, do not take them away from their owner!

It's sunny, it's hot, we put on swimming suits! 

3 water places are well established in the Lamastre region: the Retourtour water place in Lamastre, the Salins beach in Désaignes and the beach on the Doux in Labatie d'Andaure. We enjoy it and above all, we have fun!

The Ardéchoise (05/29/18)

Make way for the world's largest mountain bike race from June 20 to 23! That's over 13,000 runners already registered! Whether you pedal or not, you have to prepare for these special days: roads blocked or redesigned for the occasion, many runners on the roads who are already training hard and hundreds of volunteers who criss-cross the roads! We must be more vigilant as we approach this great event!
