For 5 days, the naturopath Lilian Conort offers a mono diet based on organic Chasselas in partnership with Véronique Fontanel, a well-known and recognized producer in Moissac.
For the second consecutive year, the naturopath Lilian Conort organizes a cure of Chasselas for 5 days. From September 14 to 17, volunteers will be invited to eat only the famous Moissac grape, among other hikes, picking activities, meditation time and aromatherapy or plantar reflexology* workshops. The group will stay at the Gîte du Carmel and will feed on the golden grapes from the farm of Véronique Fontanel, well known in the uvale city. “The mono reason diets were very successful in the 1930s in Moissac and in the Gard. It is a detox stay: having a single food to digest frees up energy to repair other areas of the body, and not just the stomach. This promotes the elimination of toxins,” explains Lilian Conort, who conducted 1,500 hours of training at the Euro Nature school in Toulouse, an establishment recognized by the French Federation of Naturopathy (FENA).

In reality, his approach echoes a request from the town hall, which had contacted another professional who could not make himself available. From his home based in Fougaron, in Haute-Garonne, where he organizes many stays of this ilk, Lilian Conort said “yes”. And he knows it better than anyone: such a young person prepares himself. This is why Thursday will be devoted to the “food descent” to eliminate proteins and carbohydrates. On that day, spa guests will still have the right to ingest a vegetable broth before heading on Friday to the property of Véronique Fontanel where they will pick the Chasselas themselves which they will eat throughout the weekend. end.
“It’s in tune with the times while being a very old practice since the young appeared from prehistoric times. But over time, we lost some atavistic reflexes. For those who want to connect with themselves, classical meditation does not provide a solution for everyone”, continues Lilian Conort who has neither the speech nor the attitude of a young ayatollah.
The volunteers will pick the beautiful golden bunches themselves.
“Organic Chasselas is rich in antioxidants and we know that for inflammation, cardiovascular pathologies or cholesterol, it can be beneficial. For example, resveratrol, which is a powerful antioxidant, may affect brain health. But it’s not a life-changing miracle cure! Eating grapes cannot solve everything, it is rather a long-term process. Especially since the goal of a naturopath is to seek the cause of the cause”, underlines the professional who will be accompanied for the occasion by Clémence Quintet, specialized in reflexology and aromatherapy, also trained in EuroNature.
In terms of timing, these 5 days of mono dieting couldn’t have been better. Indeed, on September 16 and 17, the “Fruits and flavors” operation will take place at the Uvarium, the temple of uval cures in the 1930s. Chasselas will celebrate its 60th anniversary there in the presence of representatives of the “Remarkable Sites of Taste” (SRG) and breeders who will come to present the extent of their know-how under the aegis of the Agricultural Show.
