In the shop, you will find various processed products from Frédéric’s harvests (organic farming): chestnut-based products (cream, flour, etc.), red berry-based products (compotes, jellies, jams, etc.), vegetable-based products (coulis, sauces, etc.) and plant-based products (pestos, syrups, etc.)

In July and August, the crêperie is mainly located on the Place du Valla, in the heart of the medieval village of Chalencon (opening from Tuesday, July 12, to Friday, August 23, 2024: on Tuesday, Friday and Sunday from 12 pm to 9 pm – only tea room between 2:30 pm and 6:30 pm).

– Free discovery of the agricultural terraces: a discovery document to be collected beforehand from the shop or the creperie.
Discover the history of the place (the agricultural terraces called “echamps”, the dry stone construction…), the fauna and flora, as well as the gardens and Frédéric’s agricultural work (work based on agroforestry, permaculture and respect for biodiversity).
