It was such a great introduction to this amazing little food, covering an education in all things about the mushroom, the fun activity of looking for them, and the even more fun activity of trying them out.

Lisa and Johann are wonderful, genuine people, and their love of what they do is infectious. "Our visit to Les Pastras was the highlight of France for us, and that's saying something. After much laughter and many beautiful photographs, I would say this experience was at the top of wonderful times in France on my 50th birthday." Susie, Denver, Colorado What an inspiration to find and live your passion. They are truly happy, passionate, knowledgeable and kind folks. But I have to say that our beautiful experience was as much due to the beautiful Johann and Lisa as wasthe hunt. Both the schooling on truffles and the tasting of truffle infused dishes were out of this world. We were greeted right away by Johann and Lisa, met the hunting dogs, met Johann's grandparents (who started the whole amazing experience), walked around the farm with Johann explaining everything about truffles, hunted, found and dug up truffles and then went back to the outdoor patio where Lisa took over and provided us with incredible truffle dishes and unlimited champagne. Then 45 minutes of beautiful Provencal countryside to the farm. (Recommend arranging for a car service ahead of time, of which Johann provided a list for me.). After training down from Paris, we embarked on our adventure from Aix. ![]() The experience 8 of my closest friends and I had with Johann and Lisa was incredible-once in a lifetime. I had this notion that I wanted to do something unusual when I turned 50 and I wasn't disappointed.
