The biodiversity walk between vine and forest

On the programme

After a short historical presentation of the area, you'll cross the vines and observe the diversity of plants they hide in their rows. You'll enter the forest to discover endemic Provençal species, their historical riches or their medicinal properties.

You may be lucky enough to come across Peyrassol's fauna, but it will be easy to imagine it as you listen to Philippe's stories. The flora will hold no more secrets for you, and historic sites will be revealed as you stroll along, such as a century-old well and the estate's most majestic white oak...

You'll then climb to the olive hill for a stop with a view, a convivial and well-deserved break before heading back down the forest path and reaching the estate's oldest vines.

Before or after this carriage ride, with the help of an explanatory booklet and map, wander the Peyrassol paths at your leisure to discover the rest of the route, the works in the Philippe Austruy Collection, the Remarkable Garden, the vineyards and the forest.

As for the art center and the winery, they can only be visited during guided tours.

You can also dine on site at Chez Jeannette or at Lou's Bistrot (reservations required, see opening dates).

Notre récente randonnée entre vigne et forêt, accompagnés par Philippe, a été une expérience inoubliable. Sa passion pour la nature et sa sensibilité envers la biodiversité ont enrichi chaque étape de cette exploration. Philippe nous a guidés avec une attention particulière, partageant ses connaissances sur la faune et la flore locales de manière captivante. Sa personnalité chaleureuse a créé une atmosphère conviviale et propice à l'apprentissage. Je recommande vivement cette randonnée à tous ceux qui souhaitent découvrir la beauté naturelle de la région tout en bénéficiant des connaissances d'un guide aussi humain que compétent.
