I've been reading about Les Pastras for several years, and this year I decided the truffle hunt would be a priority for our trip. It was a pleasure to listen to Johann speak so proudly about his family's land and heritage. He welcomed us warmly, gave us a few ground-rules about the experience, and then told us about the process of finding truffles, how to spot a likely place, and the business of raising "truffles trees." The fact that Johann is entertaining and knowledgeable plus fluent in English made the tour even more enjoyable. Jean-Marc arrived with the dogs. I had read about the fancy Italian breed that is often used for truffle hunting, but these dogs were not what I expected. Éclair was a scruffy, short ball of fur and Mirabelle seemed to be a lab-shepherd-? mixed breed. Johann explained the process of training the dogs and noted that any breed could be trained to find truffles. We greeted the dogs, but when it was time to go to work, we had to let them focus. We had walked to the stand of trees where we hoped to find truffles, Éclair sniffed out the truffles, Mirabelle started the digging, and then we got to get the truffle out of the soil. We were taught how to notice the difference in quality. One truffle was softer than the others and another had less aroma than the others. After we found 6 or so truffles, we walked around the family land and were introduced to the area's wild herbs, the beehives, and the fruit and olive trees. Then on to the summer kitchen and getting to eat the fruit of our hunt. Johann talked about preparation, storage, and serving truffles. We had Champagne and ate truffles on butter, on cheese, with oil, and in ice cream. The entire experience was a pleasure.

My husband, three children and I did a tour with Anais this week and it was fantastic! We did the Arles/Alpilles tour and had a wonderful day of sightseeing, wine tasting, and exploring the area. Anais is super knowledgeable, friendly and very attentive. We definitely will do another tour with her in the future.

With everything going on Kelly did some online quarantine cooking classes. I took both and LOVED them!!!

Founded in the 12th century, Notre-Dame-de-Sénanque is a unique example of a Cistercian abbey and still an active monastery.

A beautiful place of full of atmosphere and tranquility. Better than the more publicised Musee de lavande. Here you get to experience the true lives led by the monks, and how they farm the surrounding expanse of lavender fields.

At the top of the rocky spur, the Buoux Fort served as a refuge for the population during the Middle Ages.
Reviewed By aquaspeleo - Derry, United Kingdom
Yes, we loved it. Once we found it!!! It isn't in the small village of Buoux but about 3 miles distant. You go through the amazing climbing area. Huge limestone walls and overhangs. Drive past all the car parks until the one immediately before the gates at the end of the road. 11 minutes of uphill walking on a good track give you a clue this is going to be a challenge. And it's an amazing walk past woodland and a lovely rock undercut. The gentleman at the house was very short on conversation but gave us an English guide. One sheet of a4 with 36 one word descriptions of items on the hand drawn map. Off we went up the rickety uneven walk, up slope to what appeared to be a very basic shell. In we went and got very confused. Which way? Where? What is what? Then it slowly dawned on us. This was a massive example of what Roman architecture was all about. And there was plenty of it! We climbed ever higher up the hill. It got more and more interesting. It lacked description of items but our discussions between us two finally sussed out what was going on. There were some extremely precipitous areas and it did really underline that it's very unsafe for children or those who can't be trusted to control their movements. I don't walk so well any more but my previous climbing skills ensured I was safe on the very uneven route. The final piece de resistance is the secret stairway out of the place. Here, if you suffer any vertigo, don't do it! Go back the way you came. But that exit route is a bit of a navigation challenge as the white painted arrows have slowly weathered down. But hey it was fun! And we learnt a lot! If you suffer from vertigo or you can't control your children or if you're infirm in your leg movements you might want to think twice but this place is well worth it if that's ok.
