    • Housed in a fully renovated 19th-century farmhouse, the Truffle Ecomuseum welcomes you at the entrance to the village of Sorges. The spacious and easily accessible car parks on either side of the RN 21 allow for nearby parking.

      The museum is located on the upper floor of the building and is accessible via a ramp. The ground floor houses the reception area, the tourist information area, and the shop specializing in truffles and local products. Truffles (fresh in season or preserved) and all our products can be sold remotely by simply calling us.

      A visit to the museum will reveal the mysteries of the black diamond, through a completely renewed museography, the discovery trail will take you to the limestone plateau to discover the flora and fauna specific to truffle fields.

  • "Awful"

    1 / 5 Reviews posted by josh987654321 (Leighton Buzzard, United Kingdom) on 24/09/2020
