The best local producers Rhône-Alpes

Here is a nice visit to make with your family! Thanks to the glass beehive, we can almost enter the intimacy of the swarm and we go from one astonishment to another by observing the hierarchical organization of a beehive. Whether it is nature's little company or a social body made up of thousands of humming parts, the hive also offers us the fruit of its labour for the greatest pleasure of our taste buds. At the honey house, a tasting of honeys, gingerbread and other sweet by-products such as nougat conclude a visit rich in information.

The syndicat de l'olive de Nyons promotes olive oil and black olives from Nyons and the surrounding area, which has been stamped with an AOC (tanche variety) since 1994.

Conferences are also given, notably on the diseases that can affect olive trees.
