The black diamond in the spotlight
Every winter, in January, Sarlat-la-Canéda celebrates the black truffle of Périgord during a gourmet and friendly weekend. The Truffle Festival brings together producers, chefs and enthusiasts around the precious Tuber melanosporum, a true gastronomic emblem of Périgord Noir.

On the Place de la Liberté, the award-winning truffle market connects professionals selling their finest specimens. The market is controlled and supervised, guaranteeing every buyer, even a novice, the acquisition of this exceptional product at its fair price.
