Foires Grasses de Brive
The gastronomic winter tradition of Corrèze
About Foires Grasses
An ancestral gastronomic tradition
The Foires Grasses de Brive perpetuate a centuries-old tradition of highlighting the products of the Corrèze and Southwest terroir. Every Saturday morning in winter, the Halle Brassens becomes the scene of an authentic market celebrating local know-how.
Exceptional products
Fattened ducks, fattened geese, foie gras, magrets, capons, and farmyard poultry are in the spotlight. A quality charter guarantees the traceability of products, traditional corn grain feeding, and other strict requirements, implemented by the City of Brive, the chambers of agriculture of Corrèze, Lot, and Dordogne, veterinary services, and producer associations.
The King's Fair
The highlight of the season, the Foire des Rois (King's Fair) takes place on January 10th with free canning of foie gras offered by the City of Brive. From December 6th to February 21st, a controlled market for fresh truffles is organized every Saturday morning at 8:15 am in the Salle Brassens.
