Description
June is the perfect time to witness a veritable explosion of vegetation in the fields and forests of the Vercors massif. You can experience this profusion of colors and scents up close by setting off on and off the beaten track around our home, in our most beautiful natural surroundings.
During this walk, we will make together a reasoned picking of plants and to make you discover a little of the big variety of edible plants that the nature offers us. We will also taste them, during a picnic lunch made of local products. This will be the opportunity to discover the farms that produce around the village of Villard-de-Lans.
In the "intermediate" version, the day will continue with a dinner at "Le Palégrié" restaurant, chez l'Henri (fooding 2024's best table) and accompanied by wine pairings selected by Chrystel, oenologist.
