Events in Dordogne on 27 January 2023

One of the biggest weekly markets in the Dordogne region is held in Sarlat on Saturday where all the traditional regional products can be bought. 

Apples freshly plucked from the orchard, potatoes unearthed that morning, jams potted the night before, this is truly a wonderful local market that attracts not only the best local producers but the most excited buyers for miles around.

During the last weekend of January, Sorges holds an annual truffle festival to celebrate this regional speciality. 

Every year Sarlat celebrates the bird which has become its mascot and invites us to the celebrations, whilst noisy gaggles of geese honk across the medieval town.

This Spring festival in April celebrates the Médoc wine with an 'open house' at many of the Médoc-producing châteaux.

Early in May, the village of Saint-Jean-de-Côle celebrates with a huge flower festival. Attracting thousands of visitors, the streets and pavements are transformed into multi-coloured floral delights and the castle is decorated in that...

This festival of Rocamadour AOP cheese is celebrated on Pentecost Sunday each year. There is a competition for the best farmhouse cheese, cheese tasting, traditional music, face painting and feasting.

This book fair is dedicated to food and literature, and includes workshops, artwork, cookery demonstrations, wine pairing and more.
