Description
The end of June is the best time to witness a real plant explosion in the fields and forests of the Vercors massif. This profusion of colors, but also of smells, you will live it closely by going on and off the paths around us, in our most beautiful corners of nature.
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 made of local products. This will be the opportunity to discover the farms that produce around Villard-de-Lans.
The day will continue with an "intermediate" dinner at Le Palégrié restaurant, chez l'Henri (fooding 2024's best table) and accompanied by wine pairings selected by Guillaume's partner and oenologist Chrystel.
