Description
June is the perfect time to witness a real explosion of vegetation in the fields and forests of the Vercors massif. You can experience this profusion of colors and scents up close and personal, as I take you on and off the beaten track to some of our most beautiful natural spots.
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.
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.

- Version 1: Simple outing including supervision + picnic lunch (45€ / person).
