The forest has always allowed Cistercians to live in autarky, providing them with herbs, roots, fruits and medicinal plants.
Around the walls of the fence, Alexandra will teach you to harvest their generous and full of sap.
In this early autumn, to close the season of botanical walks, fruits will be in the spotlight.

Very degraded during the last fifty years, it is the object of preservation work and a stone
