THE MAISON DU GOUT

JI wished to bring together those involved in food production and preparation in the Cantal with the aim of organising promotional activities on behalf of the various professions, our local produce and our savoir-faire. From this desire, in June 1998, sprang the Maison du Goût.



Since then, and with the help of my colleagues in the world of bakery, catering, delicatessen, butchery, wine and all related trades, we have set up numerous events for the promotion of our regional specialities, including :

- The Chocolate, beans and figurines Fair (March or April)
- Joyeuses Pâques dans le Cantal … and our culinary traditions (April)
- The Fête de la Cuisine dans le Cantal ( May )
- The Village du Goût, as part of the Festival ECLAT ( August)
- The Semaine du Goût dans le Cantal ( October).

The major event for the Maison du Goût is the organisation of the Festival International du Casse-croûte et des Goudots Gourmands.

Every year, on the last weekend in June, the Maison du Goût organises a weekend devoted to the pleasures of good food and featuring the local produce and specialities of the Cantal.
Sponsored by Jean Luc PETITRENAUD, the Festival International du Casse-Croûte et des Goudots Gourmands has become increasingly successful and is now attended by over 30,000 visitors a year. So come along and discover all the activities that are part of the festival, including :
- Non-stop food for three days.
- The Goudots Gourmands competition and fair
- The French best amateur omelette championship
- The assembly of the various fraternities
- The market of bread from around the world
- The wine court
- The Ferme du Goût

So don't delay, come and join us in a weekend of good food and drink !
