A taste of nature at the Bourglinster castle

At La Distillerie, a simple lunch becomes an extraordinary experience. Chef René’s cuisine is not just about food — it is a story in itself. It tells the story of the village of Bourlingster and its local treasures. Nestled in this charming place, the restaurant captures the essence of its surroundings.

Every morning, René goes foraging in the woods near Bourglinster Castle and collects wild plants for his gourmet creations. His menu dances with the seasons and adapts to the rhythm of nature. This unique approach has earned the restaurant the title of “best vegetable restaurant in the world”.

The magic lies in the daily harvest in the castle’s surrounding forests, which lends authenticity and freshness to the dishes. In addition, René’s culinary philosophy encourages guests to rethink their consumption habits and reconnect with the fundamentals of food.

La Distillerie is not only a place to eat, but also an invitation to rediscover the harmony between nature and responsible consumption.

Why is it regenerative?

The experience at La Distillerie is regenerative because it fosters a deep connection with nature through foraging of seasonal ingredients, while promoting responsible consumption and celebrating harmony with the environment, and offering an exceptional culinary experience that respects and resonates with nature.

Project partners met in Aveiro on the 14th and 15th of September 2023. It was the perfect opportunity to visit the destination with regenerative glasses on, to understand its many assets but also some of the challenges the destination is facing. Face to face project meetings always provide the partners with the unique opportunity to learn about the work of the hosting partner and get valuable insights about the destination. In this case partners were hosted by the dedicated team of management and tourism professionals of the University of Aveiro who shared a wealth of insights about a city that was new to many of the participants.

The Enforce project is well on track when it comes to the project work plan, which means that after having completed the Best Practice collection of innovative examples about storytelling for regeneration and also the Storyteller’s Guide, partners used the meeting to discuss the development of the Enforce Training Programme.

For the next few months partners will be working on developing the content in line with guidelines provided by the University of Usak, our project partner from Turkey.
The course should be available for piloting in January/February 2024 and will also be available in the partner languages once all translations are finalised.

The ENFORCE team met in the beautiful city of Luxembourg for its kick-off meeting. It took place at the premises of the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Luxembourg (also known as CCIL), which opened its doors to warmly welcome all partners.

The team was aware of the importance of this first meeting and approached it with the same enthusiasm, as it plays an important role in building strong bonds that will contribute to the success of the entire cooperation. With the common goal of building a solid foundation, the participants discussed in depth the first steps required for the project ENFORCE.

During this visit, the project objectives were discussed in depth to ensure that each partner has a comprehensive understanding of the overarching goals. The outcome of the kick-off meeting was extremely satisfying for all partners and generated enthusiasm among the team. It was a success and left everyone inspired and energised.

The journey of ENFORCE has officially begun and with the collective expertise of the committed partners, there is no doubt that it will thrive and achieve remarkable results.
