Presentation
Guy Mombel, saffron producer and ceramist, has obtained the Park mark for the quality of his saffron and his commitment to the development of the Verdon. Discover the demanding culture of this precious flower which is the only one in the world to give a spice.
In the heart of the Verdon Park, in the small village of Esparron de Verdon, there is a small magical garden, "le jardin au Safran".
It is a small plot planted only with bulbs of crocus sativus, which will give in autumn precious ephemeral flowers.
Guy cultivates his saffron without phytosanitary products or chemical fertilizers.
Planting, weeding, harvesting and sorting are done entirely by hand.
A discovery of his saffron field is possible from October 15th to November 15th. These visits are by appointment.
Sale on the markets of Riez (punctually), Gréoux-le-Bains (Thursday morning, all the year and during the markets craftsmen-creators), Esparron-de-Verdon (May to September), Quinson (July-August) and Moustiers Sainte Marie (July-August, on Tuesday and some Sundays in June and September).
