A taste of paradise...
In past centuries, these lands were much farmed. They are still brimming with fruit.

Yellow fruit ? Apple and pear trees gone wild are plentiful, and while their fruit are small, they are tasty.

Red fruit ? You can taste wild cherries, blackberries, blueberries or wild strawberries.

Nuts ? You can pick chestnuts as well as walnuts and hazelnuts.



A long walk between Villefort lake and the plateau of La Garde-Guérin, with the Morangiès valley as backdrop.
