Fruit tree conservatories

In the Pays Loudunais, the fruit tree conservatories tell a story of passion and patience. Here, old varieties are grown, stubborn trees full of character that have survived the generations without ever losing their flavour. These orchards are much more than just plots of land: they are living archives, carefully tended by hands that know the land and its moods.

You can browse through them like leafing through an old recipe book, with curiosity and greed. You’ll discover forgotten pear trees, generous apple trees and almond trees that smell of the south. You can learn from the rows, observe the pollination of a flower, exchange tips on pruning or grafting. No fuss, just the pleasure of seeing nature at work.

And when the seasons come around, the scenery changes without warning: In spring, it’s buzzing. In summer, it smells delicious. In autumn, it’s a festival of colour and plump fruit. You’ll often leave with your hands full and a smile on your face, with the impression that you’ve stepped into a corner of the countryside that’s kept its touch of common sense.

In short, it’s lively, generous and terribly endearing. Everything we love about the Pays Loudunais!
