Hervé Viron grows one of the finest treasures of the Gâtinais region: saffron. And, good news, the saffron farm can be visited during the autumn flowering season. It's magical. Not only do we get to rub shoulders with this "red gold" with its powerful aroma, whose cultivation dates back to the Middle Ages, but we also discover its mysteries at harvest time, followed by pruning, which consists of manually cutting the pistils from the flowers to preserve their active ingredients. This red work requires 150 flowers for 1 gram of dry saffron!
