information about the local area and run through the tour itinerary.
During the afternoon guests are free to explore the village or just
relax and soak up the traditional French atmosphere.
Evening dinner will be a superb three course gourmet meal with wine at
a local restaurant within walking distance of the accommodation.

After a continental breakfast guests are collected form their
accommodation and will travel up into the Alberes hills to visit
remote working farms. This includes a goat’s cheese farm, a duck farm

cellars and sample the superb products. Lunch will be served ‘al
fresco’ on one of the farms. During the afternoon there will be a

the region. Guests will experience a superb three course gourmet meal
