Destroyed after the revolution, its magnetism earned it the nickname of “the most beautiful ruin in France” by Victor Hugo. Then, you canlunch at the ruins’ innand go foraging with chef Christophe Mauduit, a reference in wild plant-based cuisine. He will share his secrets with you…
To end your day, you can takean electric bike ride on the fruit road that winds through bucolic orchards for about 60 kilometers. One finds, here, a very favorable microclimate for fruit growing, due to the presence of the river, less rainfall and the white chalk cliffs that reflect heat and protect from cold winds.
