My selection :
Gatinais Honey
Who has never treated themselves to a spoonful of honey?
A simple and universal pleasure which, in the celebrated honey-producing regions of Gatinais and Sologne, has a very distinctive flavour.
Honey used to be harvested from traditional vegetation, but this has since been replaced with rape blossom or sunflowers. The beekeepers continue to successfully produce quality honey which is renowned for its elegance and clarity. Wonderful.
Must-see: the living museum of Gâtinais beekeeping at Chateau-Renard, with guided tours and videos, beehives behind glass and demonstrations of honey harvesting.
