Descriptive
It was at the foot of Castelnaud castle, in an 18th century farmhouse surrounded by an organic 7-hectare walnut grove, that the Walnut Eco-Museum was housed. During your visit you will discover the origins, history, work, culture of walnut and nuts, from our region. Our master mill will reveal all the secrets of making walnut oil that you will taste right out of the press. Initiatory walk in the walnut grove to discover the local flora and fauna.
