      Must-do trip for anyone interested in truffles
      Our truffle hunting excursion was awesome! Our guide was outstanding — well informed, entertaining, and funny. Learned a lot about truffles. Very educational. The hunt itself was fun, and the dogs were adorable. Got to hold a bunch of truffles that were found. Then we had a multi-course truffle feast. Delicious! So good, that we want to get on their mailing list for annual black truffle purchases each January. I highly recommend this experience. Well worth it. You will not be disappointed and will be delighted to share your story with friends and family. An experience of a lifetime. Bravo!

      A superb experience and fun
      Johann is very good at what he does and is knowledgeable about the region. The grape stomping was great fun and highly recommended- a unique experience and we had a great time. He is an excellent host with a great personality and really puts a lot of fun into the experiences highly recommended. YNWA

      The best way to experience Provence
      This is our second time visiting Les Pastras. We did a truffle hunt ten years ago and adopted a truffle tree for our parent's 50th anniversary. We just returned after 10 years to see the tree and visit with Johann and his lovely wife. There is nothing I can say to share the true joy it was to see them again and experience the French countryside with on this provincial farm with grape vines, olive groves and truffle oaks. the views are amazing and the food is superb. They are so much fun to talk to and learn from. This is a can't miss if you want to be welcomed into a home and feel like family. Best experience of our trip! Thanks!

      Must do! Don't miss
      We signed up for Truffle hunting. What is not to love- seeing cute dogs find and dig up truffle. But there was much more! Johann our host gave us a masterclass in truffles - history, how they are grown and different types. Then you follow the dogs as they searched for truffles. After that we all sat down to taste various truffle dishes. Yum! During our tasting we were educated on how to spot fresh truffles and how to buy truffles (including truffle olive oil and salt). Thank you Johann- a day we will not soon forget. Your knowledge was invaluable and delivered in an entertaining manner.

      A must-do while in the area
      This was an amazing experience that I would recommend to anyone who is close to the area. Johann was incredibly knowledgeable with a great sense of humor. The insights were gained about the industry were invaluable … and most importantly, all of the truffle products were delicious!!!

      Such a blast
      We had a blast at this lesson. The leader is funny, helpful and encouraging in learning pétanque We all met at a park and were greeted and made to feel welcome and at ease regardless of our experience. The lesson was punctuated by sips of rose or pastis and snacks of their homemade tapenade and pate and mushrooms. One of highlights of our trip to Provence. Highly recommend!

      Fun afternoon playing pétanque
      We attended the Pétanque Lesson in Provence event by Les Pastras in August 2023. What a wonderful experience! Johann and his team provided us with a fun afternoon learning about the history of pétanque and tips for playing while enjoying Provençal snacks, wine and home made pastis. We would highly recommend this event!

      MUST DO
      A wonderful, fun, educational and exciting experience! I was traveling alone in Paris and came to Provence for a couple days and signed up for this. Johann rules and will always make sure you get the best pictures and have a good time. He is personable and the tour is full of cool information. Not to mention the food afterwards was DELICIOUS! A must if you are in the area.

      Best Culinary Experience
      This was one of the best culinary experiences we have ever had!!! My husband is a chef and it was a must-do tour. I was going for the experience to learn and of course the dogs. I have never liked the taste of truffles so I wasn't expecting to absolutely love the freshly shaved truffes that we were so generously served. Johan is very funny and a wonderful host. He is informative, smart, engaging, and kind. He is full of passion and we respect the hard work that he and his team do. Kudos to all of you and thank you so much for this experience that we will always remember!

      Absolutely brilliant, a must visit!
      We did truffle hunting and it was so good we did grape stomping the same day! An absolute must. Johann is excellent and just made this an experience not to forget. If you’re in the area you must do this!

      You haven't experienced Provence until you've done this!
      Petanque was amazing. You haven't experienced Provence until you've been taught Petanque experience with Johann and Jean-Marc. Not to mention Jean-Marc's wild boar paté, marinated mushrooms, tapenade, home-made, wine, and pastis. We'll be back.

      10 out of 10 would come again
      Wow!!! Truly an amazing once in a lifetime experience for my children and I. So interactive, the guide is very funny and super engaging. Meeting the dogs is really cool and keeps kids entertained. The truffles were fresh and tasted really great. He brought out appetizers and they tasted fresh and delicious. Definitely something to come see if you stop by Provence.

      Yummy experience
      Johan was personable & informative and accommodating With our vegan diet for the tasting. He even offered to refund us when my partner awoke with a migraine on the morning of our hunt which I appreciate.

    Nicely organized activity for a family weekend. You will learn different kinds of olives, methods of olive picking, and what farmers are doing with the olives. Food and wines are great too!
