Highlights
  • Belvédère Orgues d’Île - Greetings, I am Thierry. My English may not be perfect, but I am more than happy to guide you on an extraordinary journey to the two renowned Organs sites, nestled within the white granite massif. We’ll embark on an exploration that begins with the local wildlife, including a live demonstration of bird calls.

Next, we’ll venture to the second site, which is only reachable by a truffle farmer’s path and offers a spectacular, exclusive view from the summit of the Organs. Prepare to be amazed by the stunning vistas!

There, you’ll encounter Adrien, a truly remarkable individual!

At 86 years young, this truffle farmer is a passionate and captivating storyteller who will introduce you to his quaint farm and his love for the precious ‘black diamonds.’

He will present us with an extraordinary and awe-inspiring perspective of the Organs site from above.

The trail is relatively flat, making it suitable for everyone, regardless of age.

Our incredible journey will conclude with a friendly aperitif.

Release notice:
A splendid guided excursion through a grand landscape, rich with aromas, hues, and splendor…
A charming encounter with Adrien. Experiencing the truffle universe in such a unique way is utterly surprising. And the crowning glory, the view over the Organs, is simply breathtaking.
A heartfelt thanks to Thierry for this outing, your insightful explanations, and your expertise.

Magnificent unmissable discovery - A very nice visit at the end of December, the very friendly and educational guide Thierry is passionate about fauna and flora. The second part of the walk in the land of Catalan truffles is interesting and delicious.

Unusual discoveries - Very interesting walk, Thierry is very diligent in giving us information on the flora that we encounter and the fauna via the footprints left on the ground. He has a real passion for birds which he generously shares throughout the walk. A very nice character

Visit with an enthusiast - Very nice walk with Thierry our guide who shows you lots of things about the fauna and flora as well as a view of the organs from different points of view than the traditional route. End with a visit to the truffle farm at Adrien's with a view overlooking the organs 100 m at the end of the garden, a small aperitif with truffle cheese to finish. Thank you Thierry
