Périgueux Truffle Market

Black Périgord Truffle on Place Saint-Louis

Every winter, the Place Saint-Louis in Périgueux transforms into a temple of the black Périgord truffle (Tuber melanosporum). The Truffle Market brings together truffle growers from Dordogne and Périgord who offer their finest specimens of this black diamond of French gastronomy.

A Weekly Market All Winter Long

The market is held every Saturday morning from December to mid-February, from 8:30 AM to 1:00 PM, at the Maison du Pâtissier on Place Saint-Louis. Special markets are organized on the Tuesdays before Christmas and New Year's Day. Professionals and individuals can buy truffles directly from producers, with quality control ensured by experts.

The Truffle Festival

The highlight of the truffle season is the Truffle Festival, organized on a Saturday in January on Place Saint-Louis. This festive day offers culinary workshops, tastings, truffle hunting demonstrations with truffle dogs, and activities centered around the world of truffles.

An Exceptional Terroir

Dordogne is the leading producer of black truffles in France. The Périgueux Truffle Market is a living gastronomic heritage, perpetuating a centuries-old tradition in the heart of the capital of Périgord.
