Accessible via a valley path alongside a stream, nestled between a lake and a castle on a limestone hillside, Gentillou welcomes you to discover the mysterious and magical world of truffles.
Our house, some of whose records date back to the 12th century, was one of the many farms belonging to La Gaubertie. Among vineyards and sheep, truffles grew wild in this unique ecosystem.
We discuss, among other things, the different ways of life throughout the ages, how people lived on these poor, limestone lands, and how truffle cultivation has influenced agriculture and lifestyles.
Whether you are a family with or without children, a couple, a group of friends, or a team-building event, I would be delighted to welcome you and share my passion for truffles and this way of life.
I often think that these truffle tour are unique opportunities for encounters, exchange, and sharing.
Truffles warm the body and soul !
