What to expect

Dive into the heart of Green Provence for an authentic experience between olive grove, terroir and sensations.
I welcome you to my plots, at the foot of the Rocher de Cotignac, for a rare immersion in the daily life of an olive artisan.

During the visit, you will discover the life of a Provencal orchard, the rhythm of the seasons, the gestures of the trade, the local varieties and the secrets of olive maturity.
Here, everything is lived with the senses:

- the fragrance of leaves heated by the sun,

the song of cicadas,

the texture of the fruit under the fingers,

- the light that slides between the rows of olive trees.

The following tasting is a highlight:
you learn to taste olive oil like wine, to recognize the ardence, bitterness, aromas of fresh herb, almond or artichoke.

Each oil tells a story, each sensation opens a door to the terroir.

More than just a visit, it is a sensory break, an encounter with a profession, a landscape and an intimate Provence, far from the tourist circuits.
