Cheeses from the Pyrenean Valleys

The Foire au Fromage d'Arreau celebrates the ancestral know-how of shepherds and producers from the Aure and Louron valleys. Sheep, cow, and mixed cheeses produced in mountain pastures or on farms are at the heart of this event, which promotes mountain pastoralism and Pyrenean cheese-making traditions.

A Village of Character

Arreau, located at the confluence of the Nests d'Aure and Louron, is a picturesque village with half-timbered houses, listed among the Most Beautiful Detours in France. Its Thursday market, particularly lively in summer, is renowned for the quality of its local products. The cheese fair is part of this centuries-old tradition of fairs and markets that has made Arreau famous.

Tastings and Animations

The market brings together local producers of sheep cheese, Tomme des Pyrénées, cow and goat cheeses, as well as other regional specialties (honey, cured meats, jams). Pastoral animations complete the program: cheese-making demonstrations, presentation of local breeds, and discovery of mountain professions.
