Verger conservatoire le Pré Paillet

Located in Longeault-Pluvault, the Pré Paillet Heritage Orchard is a space dedicated to the preservation of old regional fruit varieties. Established and maintained by the Longeault-Pluvault Environnement association, it helps to safeguard a botanical heritage that is sometimes under threat, whilst raising public awareness of the importance of biodiversity. Throughout the seasons, the orchard reveals a wide variety of fruit trees, bearing witness to the agricultural expertise of days gone by. Apple, pear and plum trees create a living landscape that changes throughout the year, from spring blossoms to autumn harvests. This environment also provides a valuable refuge for pollinating insects, birds and many other species that help maintain the balance of the ecosystem.
