Gluten Free & Special Diet Dining

---

The 100% professional approach to ‘Gluten Free’ Special Diets for our Coeliac Guests and your ‘Free From’ needs.

In a world where so much is ‘mass produced’ for your kitchen by mass producers and supermarkets, in tins, in plastic packaging ‘ready to eat’, cans or frozen, with sell by dates and expiry dates, here at Chateau de Villars, it’s all fresh.  Our promise to you!  We start from scratch every day with wonderful healthy, fresh, local ingredients, following the course of nature and following the seasons – and it’s all GLUTEN FREE! Your well being, your ‘bien-etre’, our promise to you – Free From Gluten (or whatever else you need to be ‘Free From‘ – so that you can be Free From Concern and Relax!  Come and enjoy our French gourmet cuisine!

We are sponsored by JUVELA – the leading provider of ‘gluten free’ prescription products in the UK – their ‘gluten free’ products and our French cuisine is a perfect combination!

So if you are coeliac (celiac) or on a gluten free diet for other reasons, you will be well taken care of and your diet will not interfere with your holiday and your relaxation.  You will be completely at ease and will never have to worry about what you are eating or about any possible cross-contamination – and your spouse, partner or companion will be at ease because you are!  A perfect combination for an unforgettable holiday! ‘Gluten Free in France’ has never been easier!

Bill’s kitchen is entirely gluten free – each day of the year — and with Juvela’s products, the combination is a winning one!  Bill uses classic French ingredients to create a fusion of flavours from around the world.  Top class gluten free products and our gourmet French cuisine – what could be better!

We use the freshest ingredients possible, from our own organic kitchen garden, as well as from local farms.  We serve artisanal local cheeses and yoghurts.  We grow many of our own herbs and some selected vegetables and fruits.  Our Chateau ‘potager’ (’kitchen’ garden) is a growing feature of life here!  Good produce, from reliable sources – a perfect combination for outstanding dining!

Our “Special Diet Holidays” for coeliacs (celiacs), their partners, families and friends are the main reason that Chateau de Villars has such enormous popularity. We extend our experience and care to those who have other special diet requirements also, whether coeliac or not, including those who are vegetarians, those who are wheat free but not coeliac, or those who are dairy free.

With thousands of gluten free and special diet breakfasts, lunches and dinners served at the Chateau over the years, we know our business. We know the problems involved with foreign travel. We alleviate all such worries and guarantee to provide the finest cuisine Gluten Free, with no fuss involved!

Our stainless steel commercial kitchen was  specially designed eliminating any danger of cross contamination. It meets the highest standards required by French restaurant regulations.  Our kitchen is always ‘Gluten Free’. No other establishment is specifically designed around ‘Special Diet’ guests, as we are. Our personal care and experience ensures that your ‘Special Diet’ is dealt with safely. Every precaution is taken to ensure that each guest’s diet requirements are met each day.  By the time you arrive here, we’ll have sent you our checklist and we’ll be ready for your Special Diet and your ‘Free From’ needs!

It is always a pleasure for us to see the relief our coeliac (celiac) guests have with a stress free holiday, enjoying the wonderful food we serve here. Unlike many others, we do not just offer the possibility of gluten free dining, all our catering is gluten free. Whilst this makes no difference to non-coeliacs, it makes all the difference to coeliacs.

Your partner, friend or family traveling with you  and who are not coeliac (celiac) will enjoy the gourmet dining experience here as much as you – as well as baguettes, croissants and pain au chocolat at breakfast!  We don’t discriminate against our non-coeliac guests!  These French bread & bakery items are available at our separate breakfast buffet for our non-coeliac guests without any danger of cross contamination to our coeliac guests  - these come to you from a separate storage area in the Chateau.
