Located in Langogne since 1999, Renée Gory has established a family-run beekeeping operation with 400 hives, focusing on short supply chains to market her honey. The Gory family sells mountain honey and other products at the local market every Saturday, building a loyal customer base that values local produce and traceability while navigating climate change challenges.

When Ms. Gory moved to Langogne in 1999, she had no personal or family ties to the area but was drawn by the summer potential for beekeeping. She faced initial challenges, particularly in finding suitable locations for her hives and a stable market presence. Despite these hurdles, she recalls being warmly welcomed and has since become a well-known figure at the Langogne market.
