🍄‍🟫 Mushroom Workshop

Sign up for a mycology workshop at HOB Fort du Pré

Why not take advantage of fall to learn how to identify mushrooms while treating yourself to a relaxing getaway in nature?

The HOB Fort du Pré, in Haute-Loire, offers mushroom-themed workshops available on weekends or weekdays. It’s the perfect experience for nature lovers, the curious, foodies, and anyone who wants to discover the treasures of the woods in a new way.

A mushroom-picking getaway in the heart of nature

In the fall, the forests of the Ardèche become a wonderful place to explore.

With a guide accompanying you on your outing, you’ll set out to discover the different species found in the woods: how to identify them, where to find them, which ones are edible, and what essential precautions you need to know.

You don’t need to be an expert: the workshop is designed specifically for observing, learning, understanding… and enjoying the walk.

The schedule will depend on conditions and harvests:

A trip to the forest and mushroom picking with Hervé, our mycologist; an introduction to the main families of mushrooms; tips for better identifying species; guidance on proper mushroom-picking practices;
Discussions about mushroom cuisine and gastronomy; cooking classes with our HOB Chef
Enjoyable moments at HOB Fort du Pré: lunch, dinner, and wine tastings with our special partner, Cave des Maisons Marcon

Choose your package: weekend or weekday stay

In the mood for a fall getaway as a couple, with friends, or with family?

Choose our mushroom-hunting weekend in St. Bonnet-le-Froid and turn your trip to the forest into a real mini-getaway.

Would you rather take your time and avoid the weekend crowds? The workshops are also offered on weekdays—a perfect way to combine mushroom hunting, hiking, fine dining, and relaxation.

By staying right at the HOB Fort du Pré, you can fully enjoy your experience without having to hit the road again after your day is done.

Staying at the HOB Fort du Pré

More than just a starting point for your internship, the HOB Fort du Pré is a place where people come to take their time.

After your mushroom-hunting outing, return to the comfort of the hotel, share a drink, continue chatting about your harvest, and enjoy the unique atmosphere of the Fort du Pré.
