Marigny-Marmande Truffle Market

Marigny-Marmande Truffle Market

The Marigny-Marmande Truffle Market is an unmissable event of the gastronomic winter in southern Touraine. From December to February, this rural commune welcomes truffle growers and lovers of this black diamond in a friendly and authentic atmosphere.

Touraine Truffles

Touraine is a recognized truffle-growing region, thanks to its limestone soils conducive to the development of Tuber melanosporum, the black Périgord truffle. Truffle growers in southern Touraine cultivate this precious mushroom in truffle grounds planted with oaks and hazel trees. The Marigny-Marmande Truffle Market is one of the main markets in the region where producers sell their harvest directly to consumers.

A Regular Winter Market

The market is held on a precise schedule: the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of December, the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of January, and the 2nd Saturday of February, from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. This regular rhythm allows enthusiasts to stock up throughout the truffle season. Each market brings together local truffle growers who offer fresh truffles, weighed and sold at market price.

Local Produce

Beyond truffles, the market offers a selection of local produce that perfectly complements this exceptional delicacy: foie gras, truffled terrines, truffle-infused oils, aged cheeses, and Touraine wines. These products allow visitors to assemble a complete gourmet basket for the holiday season.

Truffled Meals

The association offers truffled meals in December, by reservation. These gourmet meals are an opportunity to taste truffles cooked in various ways by local chefs. As places are limited, advance booking is essential. These meals are very popular and often sell out well before the dates.
