Tout au long des noyeraies
Since then, you have been in the geographical area of the Grenoble Walnut Protected Designation of Origin set up in 1938. Three varieties of walnuts are included: the Franquette, the Mayette and the Parisienne. Nut producers are called nuciculturists. Farms are present all along the route and offer nuts, walnut oil, vegetables, cheeses or livestock products.
Yellow paint markings and directional posts at the main intersections (if there is no marking, stay on the main road)
Mother Nature thanks you for taking your rubbish home with you, she doesn't digest it well!
Respect the walnut groves and private properties by staying on the marked trails.
