Under the guidance of an experienced foraging guide, we will spend 4 days in the Vosges region, searching for wild edible plants and mushrooms. Think of hiking through different ecosystems as we walk up and down the mountains, a stay in a chalet in the middle of nowhere and everything from food to activities taken care of. The perfect opportunity to go completely back to basics. France is one of the best known mushroom countries, deeply rooted in the local culture and boasting an extensive and longstanding tradition of foraging.
