What to expect

Our mushroom hunting tours are available on weekends except for French public holidays, from mid-September until mid-November (weather & mushroom depending). The tour lasts at least 3 hours. First we'll give you, in English, a description of the mushroom we will be looking for (with also pictures). Then we will hike the hills of the Luberon in search of fungus and other wild plants. After the hike, a table will be waiting for you with a traditional aperitif (homemade wine, homemade Pastis, homemade Provencal pâté, tapenade, pickled wild mushrooms) and great stories.
