The flavours
and benefits of plants
Benefiting from the mild climate of the Chassezac valley, we are gradually re-cultivating the former agricultural terraces surrounding our building. We cultivate these areas in harmony with the characteristics of the site, using local renewable resources and promoting diversity. Mint, lemon balm, monarda, camomile, lavender, verbena, blackcurrant, oregano, rosemary, thyme, savory, sage, tarragon... so many flavours to awaken your senses!
We also take advantage of the generosity of the surrounding countryside to gather other aromatic and medicinal plants in a way that respects ecosystems. We use these plants to make herbal teas, aromatic blends and syrups. All our production is certified organic.
You'll find our products directly on site, at the Feijoa tearoom/grocery shop in Les Vans and at the Chambonas small market every Thursday evening from April to October.

Our syrups
To refresh you in the summer or flavour your dishes and aperitifs all year round, we make artisanal syrups with fresh leaves and flowers. To limit our impact on the environment, we use organically grown French beet sugar. Our range of syrups includes the following flavours:
Elderflower: a floral flavour with hints of lychee
Acacia flowers: a delicate taste of honey
Rosemary: good for your body, brain and taste buds!
Thyme: your winter and cooking ally
Peppermint: a breath of freshness
Thai basil: a round, spicy flavour
Lemon basil: all the freshness of lemon thanks to lemon basil
Arquebuse: the incredible plant-based Coke
