A visit to La Thomassine is an instructive stroll. You are guided to discover the wonders of this extraordinary site which gives pride of place to the plants that we taste. Before thrilling your senses, the permanent exhibition of the bastide invites you to understand the process of domestication of fruits and the age-old work of men and women to select and multiply the fruits best suited to the region from wild plants.
