Special features
Flora and Fauna
Les Cerisiers is an excellent place to indulge an interest in flora and fauna. Sixty different species of wild flower were found in the meadow last summer, with many more sighted during walks in the woods and vineyards that surround us. Buzzards, owls, hoopoes, redstarts and goldfinches (to name but a few) with their distinctive calls and plumage are frequent visitors around the gite.
If you come at the right time, the woods and even our meadow, abound with wild mushrooms, but remember, never pick or eat anything you do not know is safe to
eat.
