Les Tablées de Vic: When Gastronomy Comes to the Streets

Since 2015, the small town of Vic-en-Bigorre, in the heart of the Val d'Adour in the Hautes-Pyrénées, has hosted a unique culinary event in France: Les Tablées de Vic. Conceived as the first popular gastronomy festival, this ambitious gathering aims to make haute cuisine accessible to everyone in a friendly and festive atmosphere.

Renowned Chefs Serving Local Produce

Each edition brings together about fifteen chefs from all over France, who offer original culinary creations highlighting local products and short supply chains. The festival is sponsored by chef Christian Etchebest, an emblematic figure of South-Western gastronomy. Over the years, chefs such as Christian Constant, Yannick Delpech, and Juan Arbelaez have participated in the event.

The format of Les Tablées is designed for conviviality: under and around the Halle in Vic-en-Bigorre, guests share multi-course dinners, with the option to choose from hot dishes offered by the different chefs. Thursday evening opens the festival with a six-hand dinner featuring three chefs for a fusion menu with food and wine pairings.

A Festive and Gourmet Weekend

The weekend continues with gourmet dinners on Friday and Saturday evenings, while Sunday is dedicated to the producers' picnic in the Parc urbain naturel of Vic-en-Bigorre. Activities for children, including La Ferme en Balade, complete the family program.

Each evening, festive entertainment with DJs, bands, and Pyrenean singers keeps the party going late into the night. The warm atmosphere and the quality of the programming make Les Tablées de Vic an unmissable event for popular gastronomy in the South-West.
