Burgundy Snail Farm Experience
A wonderful visit with Virginie! Marion Hayet

A wonderful visit with Virginie! How kind! It was so interesting. You could tell she was passionate, attentive, and patient. We had three children with us, and everything went perfectly. And the tasting?! Besides the magnificent scenery, the snails are simply incredible. The recipes are delicious. I've never had such good snails, and they paired so well (with wine and with Virginie, with whom we're still talking). I never go to Burgundy without visiting her and her husband, Olivier. Thank you for this visit! It's the best memory of our stay in Burgundy so far.

I recommend Stanislas Wasilewski
