Superb visit around olive oil - We visited this place dedicated to olive oil and were really delighted. The tour is free and offers a generous tasting of many products. The guide spoke very good French and was able to make the visit interesting and informative. We have learned a lot about making olive oil. I highly recommend this experience!
