The Champignonnière du Saut-aux-Loups is a mushroom farm, museum, and restaurant located inside a former underground quarry. Two hectares of Medieval underground chambers are used for the growing of mushrooms, a part is an underground museum. The exhibition includes local archaeology, fossils and flints, Medieval quarrying methods, and mushroom growing.
The restaurant has a small room in a former cave house. There is a medium sized chamber for 45 persons and a banquet hall for up to 120 guests. A large terrace overlooks the Loire.
The name Champignonnière du Saut-aux-Loups translates Mushroom Farm of the Leaping Wolf. The mascot of the restaurant is a cartoon wolf, but actually Saut-aux-Loups means somersault. It is a term from mushroom growing: when the mushrooms reach a certain size, they fall down by their own weight with a somersault.
