In 1889 can be seen for the first time the sign saying "Chez Marion".
​
The hostel/café/restaurant is then ran by Eugénie Marion ( In the photo in the frame of the first floor window ).
For more than a century, the Marion family, owns this place.
Back then, Le SORGIA was simply a farm that welcomed travellers, offering them room and board, for a night or more
Francisque Marion, Eugenie's son, took over her mother, well acccompanied by his wife Juliette.
​
In 1929, their son Georges Marion was born. He would then become, despite his real wishes, the main cook, but also a mason, a carpenter, a plumber and a farmer! It is truly thanks to him that Le Sorgia became what is is now.
His marriage with Yvette made the couple become a true landmark of Lancrans.
Georges and Yvette will undertake major works
which will give the establishment its current appearance.
​
In 1989, Dominique, the son of Georges and Yvette,
takes over the establishment with his wife
Dominique. They will taste
of the day the service
and the development
dishes.
Nowadays,
Alexandre,
Dominique's nephew,
took over with the same view on the quality and originality of the dishes!
​
He therefore became the 5th generation of Marions owning the place!
