2025 Edition: Gastronomy in the Spotlight
The 975th edition of the Foire de Béré was held from September 12 to 15, 2025 under the theme "Gastronomy, for the delight of taste buds". This edition was marked by remarkable popular success with 48,505 entries, an increase of over 11,000 visitors compared to 2024.
The Halle de Béré hosted local producers, culinary workshops, and demonstrations by renowned professionals. Among the special guests were butcher Sébastien Coirier, world champion in 2025, Nantes mixologist Mathieu Gouret, French cocktail champion, the Minoterie Bourseau and its French champion bakers, as well as Vincent Boué, Meilleur Ouvrier de France Glacier.
The Rue Gourmande, a new feature of this edition, allowed about fifteen local farms and artisans to showcase their products for tasting and sale. Activities also included an interactive escape game "Le Fil de la Foire", pixel art and virtual reality workshops, a daily theatrical quiz, sports demonstrations, the parade of the Chevaliers Bretvins, and the chapter of the Confrérie de la Fouasse.
Sunday evening culminated in fireworks, and the funfair brought together over 770 fairground workers. The first edition under the new governance of the EPIC also benefited from the return of the free tourist mini-train and the C'bus shuttles.
