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.

Guided tours for individuals and groups are available throughout the year. Contact us!
