We have just returned from Les Noyeraies Du Lander where we spent a lovely couple of hours. We were welcomed by Julien, the owner, then Manolo took over and gave us the most interesting talk about walnuts from planting, growing, harvesting and all the many processes that goes to producing high quality walnuts and other products. We sampled different coated walnuts and a cake, all quite delicious. We bought some walnut oil to take back to England, which will also remind us of a great tour. Just to say Manolo made such an effort to translate each stage into English and was a real star.

The activity begins with a delicious afternoon tea with homemade cakes and local products, during which we present the horse species from prehistory to the present day, its needs and its relationship to man since his domestication. His senses are explored to approach him not only respectfully but also safely, then we go to meet the Arab horses breeding, living freely in natural conditions and in different groups. According to the desires of each one, we brush, scratch, communicate or manipulate ... Evolving among Bedouin horses is a comparable experience to swim with dolphins. Duration of the visit: 3 hours. On reservation all the year. The activity can take place even in rainy weather. Be sure to have winter boots and closed shoes in the summer, as well as clothing that is suitable for working with animals. Feet in sandals or flip-flops can not approach horses.
