Rioux-Cannes Outpost Road Sign

Location Description

The second most popularly cultivated plant in Toussaint – the first being the grapevine, of course – is the olive tree. It is mainly grown for its olives, which are pressed for their oil, but is also prized among woodcarvers. The unquestionably most cherished tree in the region, however, is the Beauclair oak, which is used in the making of wine barrels. And the most important place in Toussaint for the processing of this tree is the Rioux-Cannes woodcutters’ outpost.
