On what do snails feed? Who are their predators or furthermore how do they reproduce? Sebastien, the snail breeder (or «heliciculturist»), will be delighted to present his breeding of «Gros gris» to you, and invite you to taste his extraordinary products. There is his «Escargotine», a snail mousse seasoned with garlic and shallot and also his «Escapéro», to be tasted on a piece of toast. Impossible to resist the aperitif!!!
