It is an invitation where culture and agriculture join together and brush one another in a most exquisite atmosphere creating a country fresco where it is pleasant to stroll in and relax. At the end of the summer, the artists love to come and replenish their energy and expose in this relaxed setting, far from the city centers. A treasure for the art amateurs, an adventure for the kids, this gallery improvised in a barn-stable in the center of a vast orchard of more than 6000 apple trees, will not leave you indifferent. Several settings on site will serve the need of recreational activities for the whole family: small farm animals, deer, lama and horses, picnic areas, tractor rides and outside games for everyone. And of course, the art gallery, the country products boutique, the lunch counter, the rest area and many more discoveries. Escape to the country and let yourself be impregnated by our savours, our works of art … and apples pies.
