Description

A playful discovery of the chestnut production history and present in the region. A 1950s grocery store, an oven, a typical chestnut dryer, a medieval tunnel, but also an orchard, a tree nursery and diverse animals complete the tour. You will taste a chestnut specialty and you will find a range of chestnut products in the shop. You can also enjoy a coffee, wooden games, a parent-powered merry-go-round and lots of other little discoveries!
