One family, one land, one season. In Drôme provençale, our family welcomes you to discover the truffle grove and the flavours of Drôme Provençale.
Suze-la-Rousse · Our terroir
In the truffle grove, our dogs guide us with their keen sense of smell. Their search leads us to the truffles buried underground.

Truffle by truffle, the dogs guide us. Their noses find what our eyes cannot see beneath the soil.
We follow the search, then uncover the truffle with care. A moment of teamwork to watch in the grove.

Visits & tastingsThe truffle dogs search the grove by scent. Participants watch their search, then see how a truffle is lifted from the soil.
Finds depend on the season, maturity and conditions in the grove. A truffle-hunting session does not guarantee a particular harvest weight.
Enquiries are welcome throughout the year, every day. Private bookings can accommodate up to 100 people, including children. We prepare a quotation based on your group size, dates and programme. Once you accept it, we confirm the appointment in Suze-la-Rousse and send you the precise meeting point individually. Wait for that confirmation before travelling; an enquiry alone does not reserve places. Truffle hunting starts in mid- or late November and runs until the end of March, depending on truffle maturity and ground conditions. Dates are confirmed before your visit; no harvest is guaranteed. Outside the season, a different visit programme can be agreed in advance. Fresh-truffle sales end in mid-March. In heavy rain, we agree another date with you and reschedule the session at no extra charge. All shared and private sessions are led in French only. A translated website does not mean explanations are available in another language. Check that your guests can follow the visit in French before booking. You need to be able to walk for about an hour in the truffle groves. Wear footwear suitable for the terrain and tell us about any access requirements before booking.

Available truffles depend on the harvest and maturity. The batch, its origin, net weight, price including tax, charges and receiving date are confirmed before payment. Collection in Suze-la-Rousse is by appointment, or delivery to mainland France (excluding Corsica and islands without a road link to the mainland) is available at the buyer’s expense.

We have worked with Marc Lalanne, Maître Caviste in Le Poët-Laval. We have also welcomed Éric Coisel, former chef of the Prunier restaurant in Paris, who shared advice on cooking with truffles.
Read Éric Coisel’s adviceThese guides address practical questions about fresh truffles: choosing, cooking, storage and what happens on a truffle hunt. Information about our harvest and activities comes from the team. Technical explanations and external calendars are accompanied by their sources.
Visit reports state their date and explain the context of the photographs. Cooking and growing advice separates general guidance from the conditions of a particular batch or plot. Digital assistance is used for writing and translation; sources and testimonials remain attributed to their origin.
