Description
Start by meeting Isabelle, our native and local guide, early morning in Nonglard, 15km from Annecy.
After a brief talk on the wonderful day to expect, start your walk through the village leading you to panoramic views and forest. After a good hour, this will bring you to the first farm, cultivating vegetables.
Collect those mouthwatering goods and continue your way for another hour or so. If weather permits, stop on the way for a Mont Blanc view, discover crops and learn about local historical scoops.
Before arriving to our host house, stop at the last farm producing dairy products. Sip a glass of milk while enjoying a simple and authentic countryside atmosphere.
Get welcomed in Isabelle's house to collaboratively prepare your typical French meal.
Once you have enjoyed this French atmosphere, leave for a last 45 min digestive walk to get back to where your car is parked.
