Vincent Barberon has a passion for aquatic plants. Like his father and grandfather, he grows watercress in water basins. The plants taste like a mixture of rocket and algae. Watercress is considered a 'superfood' because it is rich in vitamins and minerals. The water plant was originally brought to the greater Paris area from Erfurt in Germany. Its high vitamin C content was said to protect the Napoleonic armies from scurvy.

Vincent recently brought back an exotic plant from Japan: Wasabi. This new passion takes up all his attention, because the Essonne is not exactly the ideal growing area for wasabi.
