Fort of La Tour Fondue

Monument in hyères.

The Fondue Tower, also called "Battery Pradeau", is located at the southern end of the peninsula of Giens , in the town of Hyères , in the Var.

While King Henri IV's plan to develop a new city on this part of the coast to accommodate the inhabitants of Hyères, hard hit by the wars of religion, was abandoned after his death, it was Richelieu who in 1633 decided to build the fort to protect the anchorage of the ships and secure the traffic between the peninsula and the island of Porquerolles .

The work was completed in 1637.

The polygonal work was rebuilt in the nineteenth century and has a barracks and a store to house the powder. In 1881 he was still armed with two guns but the fort was decommissioned and abandoned some time later.

Now owned by the Port-Cros National Park, the battery, protected as historical monuments since 1989, was restored in 1991. However due to security issues, the building is not open to the public.

The site can, however, mark a walk on this section of the coast from which one enjoys a point of view unequaled on the sea and the island of Porquerolles.

How to make the perfect fondue

The Swiss cheese fantasia can still melt hearts on Valentine’s Day – but which cheeses make the winning pot? Which wine do you need to cut through the fat? And how do you stop it – and your date – from splitting?

F or a small nation, the Swiss have made some pretty big contributions to world culture: muesli, Velcro, the Red Cross … and, perhaps the crowning achievement of this ancient federal republic, the fondue. Originally conceived as a cunning way to turn old ends of cheese and stale bread into a meal (you don’t get that rich by accident), it went global in the 60s, in part, according to author David Sax , “because of the advent of the pill and swinging. Fondue cannot be enjoyed solo.”

Worries about cholesterol, rather than STDs, saw our beloved burner sets stashed in the attic, but believe me, you can still melt a few hearts with a bit of stringy cheese. And for those of us without £42 to spend on a pot at one of Roger Moore’s favourite Alpine restaurants this Valentine’s Day, it’s easy to recreate the magic at home – because nothing says romance like waking up in the middle of the night with heartburn, right?

The Swiss are an eminently sensible people. They do not hold with dunking marshmallows in bowls of liquid chocolate, and neither do I. Call it PTSD after one too many bad hen dos if you will, but the idea repulses me. This article will thus be concerned entirely with the original, and only true fondue: the cheese variety.

Which cheese, however, is contentious. As the culinary chemist Hervé This explains : “Connoisseurs of fondue know that the success of the dish has to do particularly with proper cheese selection.” Flavour is important, of course, but the age of the cheese will affect how readily it melts. “Well-ripened cheese are best suited to the preparation of fondues because, in the course of ageing, enzymes called peptidases have broken up the casein and the other proteins into small fragments that are more readily dispersed in the water solution.”

The most common version, which originates in the cantons of Vaud and Fribourg –although it’s now found throughout Switzerland – is known as a moitié-moitié , or half and half. It’s made up of almost equal parts gruyère and a local creamy cheese by the name of freiburger vacherin , which according to Swiss resident Makiko Itoh, of the blog Just Hungry , “has a full, distinctive flavour and does not make the sauce stringy”.

Indeed, combination-cheese fondues are more common than single-variety: the Valaisan fondue, on the extremely comprehensive Cheeses from Switzerland site calls for raclette and emmental; both cheeses melt extremely well, but lack the savoury, umami notes of gruyère, which is the mainstay of other recipes. The master cheesemonger Pierre Gay calls for a veritable Alpine cheeseboard for his recipe: “Comte as a base, l’etivaz for horse power, beaufort to bind and add richness, and abondance for its characteristic gentian flavour,” while Patricia Michelson of London’s La Fromagerie recommends emmental for its “lovely nutty flavour”, beaufort alpage for its “floral richness” and a well-aged rich, caramel-sweet comte d’estive . Gay’s fondue, which lacks a more supple cheese of the emmental variety, is intensely flavoured, but easily split by the novice fonduer (ie me), so I would recommend making life easier by including something more amenable to melting, such as emmental or freiburger vacherin in the mix.

Itoh’s Swiss mother-in-law had a secret ingredient up her dirndl sleeve: “One block of the spreadable cheese that comes wrapped in foil triangles in a round cardboard box (eg Laughing Cow). The otherwise icky cheese helps all the cheeses melt together and stay together coherently.” Michelson would not approve, given her firm opinion on the importance of quality cheese: “If you are using Alpine cheeses that have a bit of age on them and are lovely raw milk ones,” she writes, “then you have no problem with the flavours and richness coming through. It is only when you skimp on the quality of the cheese that when cooking or melting you will not get the best results.” Yet, thinking along similar lines, she also adds a creamy cheese to her fondue – reblochon may not come in neat little triangles adorned with a jovial cow, but it is indeed rich and wonderfully creamy and it gives her fondue a quite superb consistency.

Her optional extra, blue cheese (for a “a toasty sharp edge”), is less universally popular, however. Testers are split: some feel it simply gives it a shot of savoury flavour, others that it takes over and changes the entire character of the dish. My problem is that for some reason it splits in the pot, too. Perhaps it was too cold when I added it (Michelson recommends the cheese should all be at room temperature), but I’m not risking it again.

If you’re not lucky enough to live in the vicinity of a great cheesemonger, then many of these Alpine cheeses will elude you. However, I would recommend going with Michelson’s advice: concentrate on quality. Combine one good melting cheese, such as freiburger vacherin (not to be confused with the French vacherin mont d’or) or emmental for texture, with the best member of the gruyère family you can find, whether that be Swiss gruyère or its French relatives beaufort and comté, for flavour, and then add a chunk of creamy reblochon (or raclette, or even taleggio) just before serving to get the perfect texture and flavour.

The acid test

The other vital ingredient in fondue is wine. Preferably a high-acid Swiss or Savoyarde white of the kind kindly described as “rustic” – not for spurious reasons of authenticity, but because, as This writes in his book Molecular Gastronomy: “Wines that are excessively acidic and, if possible, very fruity … have high concentrations of tartaric, magic and citric acids. Malate, tartrate, and especially citrate ions are very good at chelating (or sequestering) calcium ions. The acidic and fruity wines experts prefer help separate the casein micelles and release their constituent proteins, which stabilise the emulsion by coating the fatty droplets.” In other words, the more acid the wine, the less danger there is of your fondue splitting.

Such wines are available in the UK, but not widely, and like so many Swiss things, they don’t tend to come cheap. I would recommend substituting something with high acidity, but not too bold a flavour – picpoul de pinet or Fiona Beckett’s suggested muscadet would be better bets than a very herbaceous sauvignon blanc or a rich chardonnay.

The recipe Saveur magazine obtained from a Swiss cheesemaker eschews alcohol altogether in favour of double cream. In combination with l’etivaz, “a fruity, floral, raw cow’s milk cheese”, it’s so rich even I can’t disgrace myself by eating more than a few mouthfuls. Wine is definitely not an optional extra here: you need acid to balance the fat of the cheese. If you don’t drink (the less strict should note that most of the alcohol will be burned off), or you can only find less acid wines, a squeeze of lemon juice works wonders.

Some recipes call for a pinch of bicarbonate of soda, which is supposed to make the fondue lighter and thus easier to digest. I find it makes it fizz alarmingly – call me old fashioned, but fizzy cheese scares me.

To starch or not to starch

This describes stabilising the fondue with flour “or any other ingredient containing starch, such as potatoes” as a “heretical practice” – but it does considerably reduce the risk of it separating. Chef Willie Prutsch, whose fondue so impressed food writer David Lebovitz, uses it , as did Itoh’s late mother-in-law – even Michelson admits it is useful for ensuring a really smooth finish when catering for a crowd.

You don’t need it if you’re careful, but if you’re wooing a perfectionist this winter and want to cut any risk out of the equation, I would recommend adding 2 tsp to the white wine, as Prutsch does, rather than whisking it in at the end as Itoh does. (It’s also worth keeping some on hand, whisked into a little cold water, in case your fondue splits.)

Traditionally, garlic is wiped around the base of the pan to give the entire dish a subtle hint of its flavour, although Prutsch adds it, finely chopped, to the mixture itself, and the recipe from the Valais cooks it with onion and tomato before adding the cheese. This, in combination with the oregano they also recommend, makes their fondue taste like low-carb pizza. As I find it easier to make the fondue in a pan and then transfer it to the fondue pot for serving, I’m going to break with custom and add garlic to the cheese itself, so it doesn’t get lost in the move, but if you keep it in the same pot, by all means do the wipe around instead.

Michelson adds nutmeg to her mixture, which works wonderfully with cheese, especially if you also go for a slug of kirsch, or morello cherry brandy (NB not the sticky pink cherry brandy; the clear kind you might have hanging around after making black forest gateau , for example). The testers argue about its merits: it adds a certain nutty sweetness that most like, but some feel, like Lebovitz, “that to be honest, as much as I love kirsch in lots of things, I preferred the fondue without it”, so it’s very much an optional extra.

Although fondue isn’t hard to make, it can be temperamental if you don’t show it enough love and attention. Professionals, and native Swiss, may be able to chuck everything in together and end up with perfection, but Michelson’s method, stirring the cheeses in gradually, starting with the good-tempered emmental, is much safer for the rest of us. I also like to use a silicone whisk, rather than a wooden spoon for stirring, as I find it covers more ground and leads to a more successful emulsification.

In the case of the Saveur fondue, “chunks of soft white bread are stirred right in, so it’s best eaten with spoons, rather than traditional fondue forks”, but soggy bread makes me feel queasy, especially when it gets lost at the bottom of the pot, so I prefer the more common practice of dipping your own pieces. Men who lose a piece are traditionally supposed to buy a round of drinks; women must kiss everyone at the table. Who said old-fashioned romance was dead?

Cheese fondue is usually served with cubes of bread, boiled potatoes, charcuterie and cornichons or other pickles, alongside white wine, kirsch or hot tea to l essen its leaden effect on the stomach . Milk of magnesia is an optional extra.

300ml high-acid white wine 1 garlic clove, finely chopped 320g emmental or similar, grated 480g good quality gruy è re, or similar, grated ¼ reblochon (about 150g), or similar, skin removed and cubed 2tsp kirsch (optional) Nutmeg, to grate Stale bread, cubed, to serve

Heat the wine and garlic in a deep heavy-based pan over a low heat until it begins to simmer.

Add the emmental, a little at a time, whisking or stirring vigorously and allowing to melt before adding more. Do the same with the gruyère, followed by the reblochon, and keep stirring until smooth.

Stir in the kirsch, if using, followed by a good grating of nutmeg. Transfer to a fondue set or heatproof pan set over a tea light and tuck in immediately.

Is fondue the world’s greatest cheese dish – or does the very idea make your arteries hurt? Was its popularity in the swinging 60s really a result of the sexual revolution? And which other Swiss dishes deserve to be better known?

Le Refuge des Fondus Montmartre, the pioneer of fondue restaurants in Paris

If the unmistakable red front of " Le Refuge des Fondus Montmartre " , rue des Trois Frères , tells you something, it's normal. Since 1966, tourists, curious travelers and unwise Parisians have been enjoying one of the first fondue restaurants in Paris . The menu? Unchanged for 50 years. The atmosphere? Unique. The fondue? Abundant. Push the starter bottle and the cheese will flow.

Lovers of calm and hushed atmosphere, go your way. In this restaurant in Paris , conversations flow, laughter resounds and the seats shake. It must be said that the new owners are keen to keep the "fun restaurant" spirit of one of the first fondue restaurants in Paris alive. " It's not a concept, but a real tradition since 1966 " explains the Montmartre owners.

The ritornello has been the same for more than 55 years: to reach the bench (it's also my favorite place) you have to go over the table. Impossible to break the glasses, there are none. Originally, Jeannine, the creator of this little jewel, was fed up with picking up broken glasses by too fleeting strides. So she came up with the idea of having the wine drunk in 240 ml bottles, unbreakable and closed. "The whole soul of the place lies in these unique bottles, flocked with the colors of the Refuge . We absolutely did not want to part with them .

Same line of conduct on the menu: " We kept the same menu as at the opening ". That is to say: a welcome kir, a plate of amuse-bouche (the funny aperitif ), a Savoyard or Burgundy fondue, a bottle of red or white wine and a homemade dessert. All for 29 euros per person. " We select mature AOP/IGP cheeses, wines from a wine shop in the 15th arrondissement and rump steak for the Burgundy fondue . Yummy.

The highlight of the show? While exchanging your first name (and more if you like) with your table neighbors, you can also make a statement, or even a lyrical flight by writing on the walls of this unusual address in Paris . The house provides markers so that each funny gourmand can immortalize his visit. Whoever finds my note wins something. " I even found a message from 1982 ", says a customer at the table. Thousands of little words overlap on the walls for decades, like the Pont des Arts and its padlocks of love.

Le Refuge des Fondus Montmartre , an address with a strong character, just like its neighborhood. A little friendly advice: don't hesitate to book for large parties like birthdays, team dinners or family reunions. The bottles manage to loosen up the most rigid of us. A godsend in these times of gloom.

Thank you Refuge for making us laugh for half a century!

All aboard the Chocolate Train: Montreux, Gruyères and Maison Cailler

June 30, 2021

A train journey with views to die for, paired with perhaps the best cheese and chocolate in the world. All aboard for a singularly Swiss experience

As Freddie Mercury once said: “If you want peace of mind, come to Montreux.”

It was while performing at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1978 that the Queen frontman fell in love with this idyllic Swiss town on the banks of Lake Geneva, so much so that he eventually called it home.

Spend just a little time here and you’ll soon realise why. But it’s not just jazz that makes the town so special – it’s also where you’ll board the Chocolate Train for a singularly Swiss experience which offers panoramic views of the Montreux Riviera and beyond, as well as a chance to sample some of the finest cheese and chocolate known to mankind.

Heading up-mountain from Montreux, you’ll take in breath-taking views of the famous, steeped medieval terraced vineyards through the panoramic windows onboard the Belle-Époque train – a 1915 Pullman – to Gruyères.

And don’t be fooled by the name. Though it’s called the Chocolate Train, the cheese of this region is just as mouth-wateringly good.

First stop is the medieval town of Gruyères, famous for its strong-smelling cheese of the same name. Visit La Maison du Gruyère, where a guided tour will take you through the many steps involved in producing a wheel of Gruyères AOP (meaning Appellation d’Origine Protegée , or Protected Name of Origin) using methods that go back centuries. And when we say centuries, we mean centuries. Cheese-making here has been going on since 115 AD, so it’s no surprise they’ve got it down to a fine art.

After the tour, it’s worth exploring the town itself, especially Le Marché gruérien , or local market, where you can stock up on – of course – cheese, but also other local delicacies including cream, meringues, and a small waffle-like biscuit called bricelets . Local restaurants and cafes also offer, if you’re not completely cheesed-out yet – specialties such as fondue and raclette .

Take a leisurely stroll along the cobblestone streets, perfect for photo opportunities, as you make your way up to Gruyères Castle, a fit-for-a-chocolate-box structure that is home to eight centuries worth of art and historical artefacts, as well as delightful gardens.

Talking of chocolate, it’s now time to get back on the train to head for Broc and the next destination on your journey - Maison Cailler , the Cailler-Nestlé chocolate factory.

The tour here takes you on a journey through time, from Aztec cocoa ceremonies all the way through to modern chocolate-making techniques. You’ll smell and taste chocolate throughout the whole process, but perhaps the best part is the opportunity to make your own chocolate at the Atelier du Chocolat . Bring your creation home to share or – more likely – enjoy it yourself as you take in the views on the train back down the mountain to Montreux.

La Maisons des Fondues

Ratings and reviews, location and contact.

We had high expectations for this restaurant as we all love fondue. It was a chilly Saturday night and the place was packed. There is an extensive choice of fondue (cheese, meat and chocolate), some served as individual portions. We ordered cheese with mushrooms and... the beef bouillon. The quality of the bread was low and so was the beef (very chewy). The chocolate fondue was a little better but we expected wider choice of fruits/marshmallow. Prices were reasonable at €32 including wine and service was efficient. More

As a student in Aix-en-Provence this was certainly a treat. This place does fondue properly, a great selection of dishes available on the menu and the restaurant itself is quite cosy but has a great atmosphere, great value and definitely a destination if you're ever... in town! More

Fondue was great! The herbed tomatoes Provence special was a first for us! Service was amazing. Very pleasant.

We went in cause its located in a very centric area and it was getting late. We went with three kids of 6 years and twins of 3 years.I know a fondue place is not the best place to go for kids but because of... the time in a city we don't know we hadn't too many choices. If they had say we don't accept childs we would have understood it as it can happens many times, but if you accept kids you should be consequent. Nevertheless my kids behave incredibly well. First problem, they don't accept credit card, quite strange when we are talking about fondues of minim price of 20€ each!! Second and main problem: The service!! The worst in my life...unrespecful, really slow (any consideration that we have kids) , negligent, very bad english no Spanish (its located in a total touristic place), and the worst of all, rensenment against Spanish (we heard the waitress criticize us with rage) The food? what matters? In this situation it doesn't taste well so i won't be the more objective person, but i was very disappointed (example, i've been to many fondues restaurant where they bring you not only bread, apple, pickles, and many more things if you order a cheese fondue). Conclusion, Forget the experience as soon as possible. More

Fondue? I love it, but not here. The bread was second rate (in France?), without body, and fondue needs a good bread. The fondue itself was too thick; there was either too much flour or corn starch or not enough wine and kirsch. And, quelle... horreur, no pepper mill! A real disappointment. Service was also on the surly side. More

We had such high hopes for fondue in Aix! Sadly, it was not to be. We ordered the traditional cheese fondue and all we got to dip in it was bread. I was expecting some other options. We ordered milk chocolate fondue and it was... lumpy and not melted. Even after waiting a few minutes it was still unsatisfactory. I do not recommend this restaurant. Note - it didn't taste terrible it was just not a great experience. More

I suppose that if someone has only eaten the cheese fondue that comes prepared in a bag, that this fondue might seem pretty good. However, if like me, you have gone to a fromagerie and bought high quality cheeses, seasoned your pot with fresh garlic,... and added the right white wine, then by comparison this fondue tastes pretty mediocre. Other than being quite disappointed by fondue the house wine was decent and the service was good. As others have pointed out, you have to pay in cash. More

Such a treat we had both the meat fondue and the cheese one in a cosy restaurant with bags of atmosphere. The food was terrific and plenty of it (we couldn’t finish). Good value for money - do make sure you bring plenty of cash... though. More

This is not the fanciest fondu restaurant in Aix, but one of the best values. I stop in once per trip. We get a cheese pot (served with bread for dipping) and an oil pot with mixed meat (chicken and beef + potatoes) and the... bill is around 50 euro (1 drink each). A very good value. NOTE: No credit cards accepted. Bring euros! (there are ATMs within 5 min walk) Will return again. More

We stumbled upon La Maison des Fondues on a Sunday evening. We were told everywhere would be closed except a line of restaurants up the street from this place.... What a find! First they brought out a lovely green salad. Then we had the ‘Champagne... fondue’ and they were generous enough to add mushrooms—-yum~eee! Along with the bread they also bring delicious crispy, pan-fried ? potatoes to dip! All with a glorious bottle of Gigondas in a very cozy setting! More

You can find out everything you ever wanted to know about fondues here, but were afraid to ask. The list starts with the “Normande” (the virgin) which is made with apple juice instead of traditional white wine. If you like it spicy, they have one... called the Mexican, and if you want beef, order the Supreme. We had “La Savoyarde Royale” which is made with champagne, and they also gave us glasses of champagne. If you are adventurous, and not on a tight spending budget go for the "Crazy Top" made with beef, lamb and kangaroo meat The list of possibilities is long, so good luck finding the best one for you. More

We went here with friends and had a delicious meal. It was great and everyone in our party thoroughly enjoyed themselves. We had great conversation with great friends which made this experience even better.

Fondue : le plaisir fromager à partager !

Voici un plat incontournable pour les fondus de fromage et de montagne que vous êtes ! Incroyablement simples à réaliser et tellement gourmandes, les idées de recettes qui vont suivre vont vraiment vous faire aimer l’hiver ! Direction la Savoie, les Pyrénées et l’Auvergne pour découvrir et redécouvrir cet incontournable de la gastronomie montagnarde.

La Fondue Savoyarde

Quand les premiers grands froids arrivent, rien de tel qu’une bonne fondue savoyarde pour se réchauffer entre amis ou en famille après une longue journée d’hiver ! Tellement généreuse et onctueuse, voici une petite suggestion qui vous permettra de passer un moment aussi gourmand que convivial dans le plus grand respect de la tradition : la Fondue Savoyarde au Beaufort   et à l’Abondance !

Pour la recette de la fondue Savoyarde pour 6 personnes il vous faudra :

- 500 g de Beaufort Pochat & Fils : vous pouvez choisir le Beaufort d’été ou le Beaufort Chalet d’Alpage pour donner encore plus de goût à -votre fondue. - 500g d’Abondance Pochat & Fils - 40 cl de vin blanc sec*  - 1 gousse d'ail - Quelques épices pour relever le tout (poudre de muscade, sel et poivre) - 1 cuillère à café de maïzena

Commencez par couper le fromage en petits dés en prenant soin de bien retirer les croûtes. (Attention : ne râpez pas votre fromage !) Frottez ensuite le caquelon de votre service à fondue (l’intérieur bien sûr !) avec la gousse d'ail, puis faites-la revenir dans 30cl de vin blanc sec que vous ferez chauffer à feu doux.

Pendant ce temps dans un bol, mélangez le vin blanc restant (10 cl), une cuillère à café de maïzena, une pincée de poudre de noix de muscade, un peu de sel et le poivre. Lorsque le vin et la gousse d’ail mijotent dans le caquelon, versez-y progressivement vos dés de fromage en remuant avec une spatule en bois. Lorsque votre fromage est fondu à souhait, versez le contenu de votre bol en continuant à remuer lentement.

Votre fondue savoyarde est bientôt prête, il ne vous reste plus qu’à préparer vos gages pour ceux qui perdront leurs croutons dans le fromage !

La Fondue Pyrénéenne

La Fondue Auvergnate

Dans sa version auvergnate, la fondue vous offre de nombreuses possibilités pour réinventer ce grand classique. Vous pouvez par exemple opter pour le mélange de Tome Fraîche, de Cantal et de Bleu d’Auvergne qui fonctionne à merveille. Quand vient l’automne, laissez-vous tenter par le duo Saint-Nectaire et Cantal qui est à tester absolument avec quelques cèpes fraichement cueillis.

En fondue savoyarde , pyrénéenne ou d’auvergne, les fromages de nos montagnes ont vraiment tout pour vous faire fondre ! Mais avant de vous laisser mettre votre caquelon sur le feu, voici un dernier petit conseil : jamais des morceaux de pain dur pour vos croutons s’il vous plait !

Le Conseil d'Émilien !

Pour réaliser de délicieux croutons, recouvrez des cubes de pain frais (baguette ou pain de campagne) avec de l’huile d’olive à l’aide d’un pinceau de cuisine. Passez-les ensuite au four à 180°C jusqu’à ce qu’ils soient bien dorés. Tellement simple, et tellement bon !

Curious Crumbs: Fondues of all kinds make this Tracadie restaurant a gem

Maison de la fondue on the acadian peninsula draws visitors from far and wide.

Social Sharing

If you're looking to do something a bit cheesier with your spare time, you're in luck.

CBC New Brunswick's Viola Pruss has travelled across the province in search of restaurants serving up unconventional dishes in small places. For the first part of her series called Curious Crumbs, she dipped into the world of fondue.

The restaurant she visited is Maison de la Fondue, in the heart of Tracadie on the Acadian Peninsula.

The small restaurant specializes in a variety of fondue dishes, including the most famous version, cheese fondue.

Broth is key

The specialty of the house consists of a hot broth that customers use to cook slices of meat, seafood and vegetables. The recipe for the broth is a secret.

"People enjoy coming here to have a different kind of experience," said Monique Kenny, the owner of the business.

The restaurant can be found in a 115-year-old house on Luce Road, decorated with flowery wallpaper, creaky wooden floors, white table cloths and shiny wine glasses.

The building still has its original wood floors. It was converted into a restaurant in 1992.

"It's cozy," Kenny said.

This year, Kenny and her husband, Marcel, will be celebrating the 10-year anniversary of their purchase of the business. Kenny had already been working at the restaurant for several years and couldn't bear to see it sold. 

But she'd never planned on owning her own restaurant — and didn't know much about how to run one.

"I fell in love with the place," said Kenny, who was 40 when she bought the building.

Since then, she's expanded the menu, which also includes steak, pasta and seafood. But her biggest seller is fondue, especially on Valentines Day.

"That's the most popular."

A little bit of history 

Cheese fondue, often made with Gruyère cheese and kirsch, was created by the Swiss in the 18th century. Families with limited access to food during the winter relied on bread with melted cheese.

Eventually, the Swiss added wine, garlic and herbs to give the dish a little extra flavour. 

Later, workers who couldn't return home for a meal, would bring a pot to work for boiling oil to cook meat. This became a forerunner of fondue bourguignonne.

Chocolate fondue was invented in the United States.

Fondue comes from the French word, fondre, which means to "melt." 

When she's not receiving deliveries or looking after the cutlery, which includes long forks for dipping bread, meat and vegetables in fondue pots, Kenny is showing people the ropes and how to properly eat fondue. 

"When you help someone, you feel they enjoy more," she said.

Guests visit from all over

The restaurant might be off the beaten path, but word gets around.

People have come from all over the country to visit Maison de la Fondue, especially in summer and fall.

When diners walk in, they see a guestbook that people from Asia, Europe and other parts of the world have signed.

Customers always promise Kenny they will come back.

"When they [leave], they're happy."

4 reasons to chuck everything and head to Voronezh (PHOTOS)

Situated 500 km south of Moscow, Voronezh definitely is a picturesque city.

Even (or especially) for Russians, Voronezh is not the most glamorous destination despite its big-city status (1.03 million inhabitants). It is not the capital like Moscow, nor an important cultural symbol like St. Petersburg, nor far and exotic like Vladivostok, nor warm and tropical like Sochi, but a typical regional center like any other.

Yet Voronezh has its plus points. It is easily reachable from Moscow: less than seven hours by double-decker train for about 1,000 rubles ($15), so a two-day trip is no problem if you’re in the capital. The climate is another bonus. Further south than Moscow, the weather is milder and warmer. But what is there to do in Voronezh?

1. See the Russian fleet’s first big warship

The Goto Predestinatsia warship.

As noted by sociologist Dmitry Solovyov, who has studied the character of the city's residents, “ Voronezhers ” are very proud to call Peter the Great their own and to be known as “the birthplace of the Russian fleet.” Although Peter the Great (ruled 1682-1725) is more associated with St. Petersburg, which he founded, it was in the south that he began life as a naval commander, and the first Russian warships were built on the Voronezh river , which shares the same name as the city.

The most famous of them is   Goto Predestinatsia   (God's Predestination), the first 4th-class battleship, mounted with 58 cannons, built at the Voronezh shipyards in 1700. Before that, the Russian fleet had no vessels of such size .

A replica of this magnificent ship now stands on the dock near the Admiralty Square in Voronezh, and works as a museum where visitors can look inside, study the interior, and see how tough life was for the first Russian sailors.

2. Feel the mix of modernity and antiquity

Like many other provincial cities in Russia, Voronezh combines the coziness of old Russian life with glittering modernity. But here the landscape makes it even more eye-catching.

The historical part of the city lies on a steep hill on the right bank of the Voronezh river. The top is traversed by streets lined with Soviet buildings, interspersed with ultramodern high-rises, while descending to the river are narrow, rustic-looking alleyways overgrown with vegetation, where pre-revolutionary houses can still be found, even though they are few (92% of Voronezh was destroyed during WW2) .

This vivid contrast gives a snapshot of Russia as a whole: the road from noisy Moscow-style business centers to sleepy, old-world houses takes five minutes max. Voronezh oozes the spirit of old Russia, yet the ample cafes, parks and theaters provide familiar comforts and are not inferior to Moscow’s, and certainly less busy.

3. Admire the artificial sea

Inside the city, the Voronezh river turns into a reservoir known as the “Voronezh sea” — in 1972 the river was dammed up, flooding forests and meadows for irrigation and providing water for industry. The sight is impressive: the reservoir is 50 km long and covers an area of 70 sq. km. No other city in Europe has such a large artificial reservoir within its confines .

Due to industrial emissions, the "sea" is not clean; ecologists classify most of it as a moderate pollution zone. But that does not detract from the reservoir’s obvious beauty: one of the best places for walking in the city is the Pridachenskaya dam, which is essentially a green island in the middle of the Voronezh river.

4. See the Russian Stonehenge and mammoth bones outside the city

One of the Divnogorye churches.

The steppe lands around Voronezh contain many fascinating things: 140 km south of the city stands the picturesque Divnogorye plateau with chalky pillars reminiscent of Britain’s Stonehenge, as well as churches carved in the white rocks, a 17th-century monastery, and the remains of medieval fortresses.

That said, all the sights in the nearby town of Divnogorsk are a picture of modernity compared to the exhibits of Kostenki, a village 70 km from Voronezh. The local museum houses mammoth bones and everyday items of the Upper Paleolithic people, who inhabited the region around 45,000 years ago. The soil in Kostenki (the name means “small bones”) is so full of Stone Age sites that the remains of mammoths turn up literally in people’s back gardens .

Kostenki panorama.

Buses to Kostyonki run from Voronezh; to get to Divnogorye, take a bus or train to the town of Liski and from there by taxi.

Kostenki is so remarkable we made a separate article on its ancient treasures. Did you know it might be the oldest place in Europe people ever lived in?
