L'escargot des Sarradelles
In the hamlet of Ferrieu between Flavin and Pont de Salars, Thierry has installed his snail breeding farm for gros gris and petits gris. He breeds, transforms and commercialises them. Guided educational tour by appointment with tasting from mid June to mid September.
The farm is located just outside Rodez, in the commune of Flavin in the Monts et Lacs du Lévezou region of Aveyron.
By appointment from June 15 to September 15, with tastings on Tuesdays at 8pm and Thursdays at 6pm.
Breeding of Helix Aspersa Maxima, commonly known as Gros Gris for its tender flesh and Burgundy-like size, and Helix Aspersa Müller, commonly known as Petit Gris, which is increasingly rare in our countryside due to uncontrolled wild harvesting. Raised with respect for the biological and environmental cycles of gastropods.
Thierry's traditional recipes based on local Aveyron products will delight your taste buds.
The snails are raised in open-air pens equipped with untreated wooden structures.
