The Touraine Loire Valley is famous for its walnuts (Fr. les noix), although it does not hold an AOC for them as some other regions do. Still, there is a walnut tree in almost every field and along roadsides. There is no real need to possess your own walnut to secure a year round supply – just go for a walk in October and pick them up off the ground – everyone does it. If you like to know about trees or are interested in the lesser known detail of culinary traditions, book a tour with us. We can give you all sorts of fascinating insights into walnuts.
