THE FARM
A stone's throw away from Arromanches, Victor and Stéphanie welcome you to their traditional Bessin farm and invite you to discover their very french activity : snail farming !
Perfect place to raise them, the old vegetable garden became the outside enclosures for the snails. The former barns now host : the technical facilities, the processing laboratory where the snails are cooked, and an hospitality area where you can find a shop, a bar and a restroom.
The place is committed to conviviality, quality and authenticity.
Every step (breeding, cooking, selling) is done on site, using local or at least national products, favoring sustainable ways and animal welfare.
The farmers like to share the different facets of their job. It is important to them that people can spend a fun and gourmet time on the farm!
