Ecole Nationale Supérieure de la Pâtisserie:
Ecole Nationale Supérieure de la Pâtisserie at The Château of Montbarnier is situated in Yssingeaux, southeast France within close proximity to Lyon and Saint Etienne in the Department Haute-Loire.
Location and Facilities:
The Haute-Loire department is found in the south-east of the Auvergne region.
Here on the 1000 metre contour, towards the southern edge of the Massif Central, the air is clear, the wind is fresh, the temperatures range from very hot, in excess of 40 degrees without any humidity, to minus 15; crisp, dry and exceedingly beautiful. There are few people about.
South of Le Puy en Velay the plateau rises to around 1350 metres between the River Loire, here a fairly gentle stream, and the Allier, a real mountain stream which flows deep, green and crystal clear from the Cevennes through the impressive Gorges of the l’Haut Allier, a signposted tourist route.
