Plum products and farm experiences
Saint-Aubin is classified as a “Site Remarquable du Goût.” This goes hand in hand with the local character shaped by its widespread Ente plum orchards. The farm shop at Ferme de Monredon sells plum products directly: chocolate-coated plums, stuffed plums, plum cream, plums in alcohol and plum jam. These different products show how versatile plums can be. Ferme Bio de Crozefond welcomes visitors and offers a wider range of food products, including bread, pastries, cheese, cured meats, fresh pasta, pizzas, sorbets and evening primrose oil. Free tastings and guided tours are available there by appointment. As the product range may change, check what is currently available before you travel and arrange your visit in advance.

Visits to the farm at Ferme de Monredon are available year-round by appointment; arrange your visit in advance. The farm also has the “Sul camin de la lèbre” trail and the “La familha Pruna” discovery rally through the orchards, for which a trail guide booklet is available. The booklet is specifically for the rally and may be a factor when choosing between the activities mentioned.
Panoramic views, architecture and hiking
The Plaine du Pech de Rouet offers a sweeping 360-degree view. As a landscape highlight in its own right, the panorama complements Saint-Aubin’s agricultural attractions.
