Fête One Two Tripoux

Tripoux: A Culinary Heritage to Celebrate

Tripoux is one of the most emblematic specialties of Cantal and Auvergne. This traditional dish, made from veal tripe and sheep's maw, is simmered for a long time in an aromatic broth to offer a tender and flavorful texture. Each butcher, each family has its own recipe, passed down from generation to generation, making tripoux a true emblem of Cantalian culinary identity. It was to pay homage to this popular and unifying dish that the Fête One Two Tripoux was born in Thiézac in 2006.

An Associative Festival Born from a Passion for the Terroir

The One Two Tripoux Association was created with the aim of promoting tripoux and the territory of Thiézac and its valley. The name, a playful and quirky nod, reflects the festive and friendly spirit of the event. Since its first edition in 2006, the festival has continued to grow, becoming a must-attend event on the Cantalian gourmet calendar, bringing together over 2,500 visitors in the village streets each year.

Organized on the 3rd weekend of May (sometimes early June depending on the calendar), the festival transforms Thiézac into the true capital of tripoux for a day. The association's volunteers work hard to offer a rich, varied, and free program, open to all audiences.

The Best Tripoux Competition and Producers' Market

The highlight of the day is the famous best tripoux competition, where local butchers and artisans present their creations to a popular jury. Visitors are invited to taste and vote, turning everyone into a gastronomic critic for a day. Beyond traditional tripoux, competitors compete with imagination by offering original variations: tripoux in lasagna, verrines, tapas, or puff pastry.

The producers' market complements the gourmet offerings with Cantal cheeses, artisanal charcuterie, honey, jams, and farm products from the Cère valley. From the morning, a tripoux snack is offered to all visitors for a truly authentic taste awakening.

Music, Dance, and Shows for Everyone

The Fête One Two Tripoux would not be complete without its festive entertainment. Traditional and Occitan music concerts resonate through the village streets, while folk groups showcase dances from Cantal and Auvergne. Street theater adds an artistic touch with companies performing and interacting among the market stalls.

Gourmet and storytelling hikes allow visitors to discover the landscapes of the Cère valley while tasting local products. Traditional games, pétanque matches, a treasure hunt for children, and a grand raffle complete the program. A popular ball concludes the day in the purest tradition of village festivals.

A Unifying Event in the Heart of Cantal

Free and open to all, the Fête One Two Tripoux embodies the conviviality and generosity of Cantal. It promotes ancestral artisanal know-how while integrating it into a festive and modern approach. The event contributes to the dynamism of the village of Thiézac and the reputation of Cantalian gastronomy far beyond the departmental borders.
