The rural soul of the Rhône: heritage and diversity of the terroirs
Just a few acres from the plains irrigated by the Rhône and the Saône , lie the massifs of Haut-Beaujolais, Lyonnais and Pilat . Rooted in harsh living spaces where the land was essential for survival and conquering slopes and altitudes, the agriculture of the Rhône region today is the soul of the peasantry of yesterday.
She inherited family know-how adapted to a diversity of environments as evidenced by the herds of goats in Rigotte de Condrieu , the pear orchard plantations in Chasselay or the revival of the chestnut grove of Marmiches in St-Genis-l'Argentière.
Rhône Valley: between exceptional flavors and landscapes
Between the fruit-growing valleys of the Lyonnais mountains , the hedged plateaus of the Beaujolais vert offered for grazing, or the heroic vineyard landscapes of Côte-Rôtie and Condrieu , the agriculture of the Rhône region presents a landscape evocative of both gustatory and contemplative pleasures!
