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.

Set against the cliffs from which the stone for the construction of the original village of Cadenet was quarried, the mill brings a feeling of authenticity. Far more than a simple olive oil mill, Bastide du Laval is keen to develop a friendly and educational approach to the fascinating world of olive trees, olive oil and, of course, Provence. Olive tourism serves as an alternative to traditional tourism, offering indepth knowledge of the olive oil industry and capturing the true essence of the culture surrounding the domain of the olive tree. The olive oils produced at the mill as well as the wines from the domain itself are sold in the boutique, along with a selection of local products.

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.

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.
