Witness the exceptional spectacle of thousands of Crocus sativus flowers, the plant that produces saffron, blooming over just a few days each year (late October / early November).
At the heart of an urban saffron farm on the rooftop of a Parisian building, you will discover the secrets of saffron cultivation, the origins of this precious spice found in cultures across the world, its presence in ancient civilizations, and its surprising adaptation to urban agriculture. Armed with large wicker baskets, you will harvest the flowers that have bloomed overnight, a feast of color and fragrance.
Then, seated around a table, you will learn how to carefully separate the delicate saffron pistils from the flowers and discover how these fragrant filaments are later processed and used in cooking. A true immersion in a poetic world of scents and colors, this unique experience will delight nature lovers and gourmets alike, as well as gardening enthusiasts and those who appreciate delicate craftsmanship.
