7-Day Wild Food France


Under the guidance of a Forest To Plate wild foraging guide, you'll spend 7 days immersing yourself in nature in search of wild edible plants. You'll learn how to identify and prepare various edible plants, all in one of the most beautiful locations in the Ardennes, France.

It's the perfect week to relax and be pampered. We provide all meals from morning to evening, the walks, and ensure you lack nothing.

The walks themselves are in the morning. We make sure you have plenty of time for yourself in the afternoon. You can explore the area independently or simply take a day to do nothing.

If you'd like to help out in the kitchen or with plant foraging during this week, you're welcome to do so, but there's no obligation.

Throughout 7 days, you'll enjoy daily guided walks, foraging for wild edible plants, and organic meals provided from morning until evening, allowing you to fully relax amid vast natural parks.
