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, around a picnic prepared by Guillaume Monjuré (Chef of the Palégrié, starred restaurant of the golf hotel of Corrençon-en-Vercors).
The day will continue around a menu "Promis-Juré" in long version inspired by the products of the harvest and accompanied by the wines in agreement selected by Chrystel, companion of Guillaume and oenologist.
If you are interested in this theme, I also propose other outings related to nature and gastronomy:
