The chestnut harvest began this year with the problem of drought, while this fruit remains fragile and highly subject to the vagaries of the climate.

Despite this, the harvest is considered rather good compared to the summer that has just been experienced. On site, Mickaël Huit floats the chestnuts, which are all beautiful in appearance, to find out if they are really good.
