On the beach The Bourget in the largest and probably the most romantic lake of France. A few steps away from thelake stands « Le Bateau Ivre » : a 12th century building-formerly a barn for salt storage- which has been elegantly restored. In that historical setting, one is more than eagerto appreciate the great variety of fish. Youíll find them all on the rich menu along with the local wines of Savoie : a frying pan of perch fillets with potato salad, a charfish meunière, trout or crawfish, among others. The main dining room is walled by authentic stones and wood beams. Youíll be able to enjoy your lunch or dinner in season by sitting in the shady garden blooming with flowers. The kitchens are under Jean-Pierre Jacobís supervision. Jean-Pierre Jacob is a young European restaurateur. His father was one of Franceís master chefs.  In winter, Jean-Pierre Jacob ands his crew work with the same enthusiasm at « Le Bateau Ivre » of Courchevel located on the 6th floor of the sumptuous Pomme de Pin hotel where they offer the same kind of distinctive and elegant cuisine.
