LA MAISON DU CHAROLAIS
House to discover the secrets of Charolais meat, from the characteristics of its land to the particularities of its grass
Located in Charolles, the birthplace of the Charolais cattle breed, the Maison du Charolais is an area entirely dedicated to the breed. This institution teaches you all you need to know about this breed typical of the local prairies and recognizable by its white coat. A museum, tasting session, discovery trail, store and restaurant provide plenty to keep you busy.
Take an audio-guided tour of the museum area, and you'll understand why and how this region and its breeders have made the Charolais breed "one of the best breeds of French cattle". Children's activities make the visit fun and enjoyable, with family adventure trails where you'll have to find hidden treasure, answer riddles and play games. The bocage trail, with its 11 interpretation tables, lets you discover cattle in their natural habitat.
The Maison du Charolais also emphasizes the consumption aspect: you'll learn the best way to cook beef according to the cuts selected. Round off your visit to the Maison du Charolais with a classic tasting, a Charolais PDO tasting or a Charolais quiz, to whet your taste buds. A visit to the restaurant La Table is a perfect follow-up: lovers of tender meats will discover local products with a breathtaking view of the Charolais bocage. And a visit to the boutique will bring back terrines to give as gifts, to whet your appetite for a visit.
