Châtaigneraie Godissard

Nestling in the unspoilt countryside of Collobrières, the Godissard chestnut grove is a family-run orchard where the chestnut tree, the emblematic tree of the Massif des Maures, is grown. Every autumn, the Jartoux family harvest the chestnuts to transform them with passion into delicious specialities, including the famous home-made chestnut cream.

Throughout the year, this natural and agricultural area requires rigorous maintenance: pruning, grafting, caring for the trees and respecting the cycle of the seasons. More than just an orchard, it's a genuine living heritage, bearing witness to ancestral know-how that's still being passed down.

Sophie Jartoux, a passionate chestnut grower, opens the doors of her chestnut grove and offers guided tours and educational workshops for young and old. It's an opportunity to discover the secrets of the chestnut, and also to taste the products of the farm: honeys, jams and castagnade in season.

In October and during the All Saints' holiday period, tours and workshops are organised on Wednesdays and Thursdays, booked in advance at the tourist office.
