La champignonnière d'Orbec

For 10 years, Stéphanie and Olivier PERREL have been growing oyster mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms and button mushrooms in the last active quarry in Calvados, in Orbec.

A true showcase of craftsmanship, this unique place provides several lessons through the discovery of mushroom cultivation but also through History, since it was in the galleries that the 2 inhabitants of Orbec took refuge for several days before the liberation of the town in August 000.

For 1 hour 15 minutes, follow the guide to explore the quarry (13 degrees) and immerse yourself in this troglodyte and atypical world in Normandy.
