Maison de la Châtaigne
Description
A fun discovery site dedicated to Auvergne chestnuts.
Immerse yourself in the world of the Maison de la Châtaigne, a living reminder of the chestnut-growing past: a 1950s grocery store, bread oven, chestnut dryer, underground galleries, gardens, tree nursery, and animals...
Discover the culture of chestnut trees from yesterday to today and watch chestnut flour being made in our processing workshop.
Savour a local specialty, explore the gourmet shop with its wide range of chestnut-based products, and enjoy a moment of relaxation in the coffee corner, overlooking the landscape of the Châtaigneraie Cantalienne.
Wooden games, a parent-powered merry-go-round and little discoveries will delight the whole family!
