Saving this endangered species was the guiding principle behind the design of this astaciculture located in a former mill in Thonnance-lès-Joinville.
On his farm, a genuine educational site with the "Bienvenue à la Ferme" label and recognised as a pilot farm at European level, the astaciculturist invites you to come and have a go at his red legs!
This small freshwater crustacean, a cousin of the lobster, is the very symbol of water quality.
Opposite the hatcheries, you'll discover the ponds, a vast free-roaming habitat that gives this rare species most of its marvellous flavour.
This dish, sought after by the finest restaurateurs, is recommended by the Ferniot-Hachette Guide to Good Products (2005) and was awarded the "Coq d'Or" in the Guide des Gourmands 2012.
Come and meet the little "Astacus Astacus" and discover our farm, the only one of its kind in Europe.
