Strawberry picking in Ile-de-France is back, starting in May!

Darselect, Cigaline, Sonata, Charlotte, Mara or Gariguette are among the first varieties of strawberries that are now available in the many Chapeau de Paille pick-your-own stores. Strawberries in season, tested and tasted on the spot, to be eaten plain or to garnish your pies and jam jars, we'll take it!
