The unique atmosphere
of village festivals

Gastronomy and conviviality in the spotlight

Certain festivities are inextricably linked with Périgord gastronomy. In Bertric-Burée, the “Fête des Cagouilles ” celebrates the snail, prepared in all its forms. Music, folk entertainment and tastings punctuate this day when the local produce takes pride of place.

In Ribérac, the famous Bodegas festival transforms the town centre into a veritable festival of music and flavours. On the programme: open-air concerts, tastings of local specialities and a festive atmosphere well into the night.

Magnificent shows and preserved traditions

At Combéranche-Épeluche, the nautical festival offers an enchanting spectacle with its parade of flower-bedecked boats on the Dronne. This not-to-be-missed event culminates in a fireworks display illuminating the river.

In Siorac-de-Ribérac, the traditional festival is renowned for its spectacular fireworks display and its crêpes evening, a delicious and convivial event for young and old alike.

Gourmet markets: a festival
of local flavours

Gourmet markets are a veritable institution in Périgord Inattendu. These weekly get-togethers give you the chance to discover local produce, meet local producers and sample typical dishes in a convivial atmosphere.

Tasty get-togethers under the stars

In Montagrier, the Montagrillades are a meeting place for lovers of good food. Every Friday evening, the village comes alive with a gourmet market featuring grilled meats, mature cheeses and regional wines. All accompanied by a live concert, for a memorable evening under the stars.

In La Roche-Chalais, the Wednesday evening gourmet market offers a selection of local produce to enjoy on the spot or to take away. Local craftsmen and producers showcase their best specialities in a festive, musical atmosphere.

In winter, it’s time for exceptional dishes

The Périgord Inattendu also knows how to showcase its exceptional products at its fat and truffle markets, held in Ribérac during the cold season. The giant truffle omelette, prepared in front of visitors, is a not-to-be-missed tradition in the run-up to the festive season.
