Indeed it is the LAST pineapple/plane purchased by la Tonnellerie … its carbon footprint is catastrophic. Transport of ONE pineapple = 2 liters of kerosene or a television that is on 24 hours a day for more than a week…. as if we were going over 30km by car to buy ONE pineapple. We go […]
We offer a simple and traditional cuisine. However, all the dishes and pastries are made in our kitchen and the products used are bought often directly from local producers. We do not buy any finished, semi-finished or industrial products… we can thus guarantee the exact origin of all the products and the nutritional quality of the […]
We would like to showcase the work of the front wall restoration team in November 2019. Hard work that includes several steps… it was exciting to follow their meticulous work that brought back the old stones of the 1820 wall. Le piquage des murs pour faire tomber l’ancien enduit-ciment qui cachait les vieilles pierres et […]
March/April, months of transition in the surrounding vegetable fields. The winter vegetables have disappeared and only a few vegetables are taking over for the moment. It takes patience for Eric, Laurene, Stéphane, Laurent or Nicolas, our local vegetable gardeners (mostly organic) to offer us their new products! To respect the seasons of our region is […]
From now on, following our (insistent) request, our laundry service provider takes back the plastic packaging. Plastics are compacted to be recycled… Of course, this is interesting but if it is to make plastic bottles that will be discarded afterwards we do not solve the problem. The REAL evolution would be to find another solution […]

At first, the fruit producers who pamper their fruits (most of the time organic)… Eric, Laurene, Laurent, Jacqueline, Arnaud, Stéphane… Locally sourced fruits and usualy bought directly from the producer… Then, the preparation of these fruits … Nicolas, […]
Always a great pleasure to propose you fruits and vegetables of Eric Duriez (Ferme des Perrières) in Saint-Hilaire-Saint-Mesmin (20minutes from la Tonnellerie). Https: // www.la-ferme-des-perrieres.fr/ With Sophie of the restaurant ” César et Firmin ” in Beaugency, we alternate on going to the farm every Friday and return the car boot full of good things! […]
It is Lisa Lamontre (Mazangé farm) who supplies us the local snails, raised with love! In May after the last frost, 150 000 œufs de ” big grey ” arrive at the farm (from the Drôme). They go to the four parks for outdoor breeding where they live in complete peace! No salad on the […]
Our building (19th century) requires a particular attention for roofs and chemineys. Our roofer ” LB couverture” uses now on a drone to go very quickly and in complete safety as closely as possible to the roof. Impressive pictures but especially very interesting to anticipate the maintenances or the eventual works to be planned (chimney-sweeping, […]
