La Maison de la Truffe (groupes)
La Maison invites you to an interesting encounter with the mythical mushroom: truffles ! Fully free of charge, the visit (1 hour approx.) will introduce you to the truffle culture and collecting. Let your nose guide you and choose your questions on the interactive terminal.
In an atmosphere bathed in the scent of black truffles, information panels give pride of place, among mushrooms and truffles, to the black truffle (tuber melanosporum). The intimate relationship between the mushroom and its tree (symbiosis) is explained, as is the annual cycle of the truffle. A short 15-minute film shows the work of truffle growers in Aveyron and how truffles are harvested using flies or dogs. An interactive terminal allows everyone, especially children, to playfully take in the exhibition's contents. Ask for recipes for truffle dishes (free). You can buy truffles in verrines, truffle products, most of which are made locally, as well as local products: wine, saffron, honey...
Length of visit: 45 mn to 1h.
