L'arbre d'or et le gemmage

Let us tell you all about the history of the Lanton forest, its golden trees and the old-fashioned harvesting of resin: gemmage. On the edge of the forest, in front of a pine tree "gemmé" as it was in days gone by, you'll learn all about this traditional local activity, deeply rooted in the heart of the Basin. J.Claude, a former resin-maker, will tell you all about this know-how, using a number of traditional tools.
