Salt flavored with plants - L'Herberie de la Tille

Located in the heart of the National Forest Park, at Vals-des-Tilleselsa Gautherot's Herberie de la Tille is a haven of nature and expertise. Elsa grows and harvests aromatic and medicinal plants by hand, while offering unusual accommodation in an authentic setting.

It's very important for me to pass on the knowledge I've acquired about plants, their history and their properties.

At the Herberie de la Tille, I harvest aromatic and medicinal plants that I dry in my drying room and then put into sachets for infusions or cooking... Everything is wild-picked very locally or lovingly tended by hand in a 3,000^m2 garden^.

I also offer two unusual accommodations, a tipi and a gypsy caravan, which I rent out during the summer months, from April to October.

I joined the Esprit parc nationallabel because, for me, it was an obvious choice being located in the Parc national de forêts, it gives me recognition for the quality of the plants.

It also emphasizes the locality of the product, showing consumers that it's very, very local, that it's made in the National Park and not elsewhere. It's an additional visibility for my accommodations, and also a means of communication.

It's a passion, it's a job you earn a living from, but you don't have to want to be rich doing it.
