The truffle experience was also fantastic. A family affair. The current owner is a descendant of his great grandfather who started the truffle farm so many years ago. He is one of the largest distributors in the world of truffles. He has two dogs, mother and daughter that sniff out the truffles. They start the puppies with eating the truffles so they know the smell but reward them with biscuits when they find the truffles. It was amazing how they found the truffles. Really friendly labradors who are truly a part of the family. After finding the truffles we went inside the house that was a very basic but large house and we tasted truffles. First time we have tasted a truffle they were very good. They were served on toasted bread along with the local wines.

After the truffle farm we went to a castle with the story of the family that lived there. It reminded me of St. Paul de Vence. Now very touristy but nice to visit. A nice field of lavender in the front of the castle. Fortunately we were here at the right time to see the Lavender Fields.
