Since 1984, the Salon de la Gastronomie du Coteau has been an essential event for lovers of good food in Roannais and beyond. Organized every year on the third weekend of November by the Comité des Fêtes and the Ville du Coteau, this salon brings together around a hundred exhibitors from all over France at the Scarabée in Riorges, a modular hall that can accommodate several thousand visitors.
A tour of France of flavors
The salon offers a true tour of France of gastronomic terroirs and know-how. Visitors discover a wide variety of products: foie gras, Savoyard charcuterie, farm cheeses, wines and champagnes, craft beers, confectionery, artisanal macarons, walnut-based products, truffles, saffron, honey, olive oils, filled shortbread, and many other regional specialties. Approximately one-third of the exhibitors come from the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, while the others represent different French regions, thus offering a particularly rich palette of flavors.

Beyond the tasting and sales stands, the salon offers culinary demonstrations and meetings with passionate producers throughout the weekend. Among the highlights, a pastry competition open to the general public invites participants to present the best and most beautiful cake. Special categories are reserved for apprentices from the CFA and participants from leisure centers. Several tasting areas allow for convivial moments to be shared with friends or family.
