Market gardeners Aveyron

A former restaurateur, Bernard Salinier specializes in plant-based recipes. Fruits, vegetables, mushrooms -and sometimes spirits- are a permanent source of inspiration for this magician of flavors, who interprets traditional recipes and invents new ones. His store now has around 200 references: jams, compotes, fresh fruit cocktails, syrups, chutneys, condiments, liqueurs, spreads... Among the best-sellers, the Marcillac wine jam. The gherkin spread is another very popular dish.

Employees and volunteers of the Aveyron truffle growers' union take turns every day of the summer to welcome you to their home in Comprégnac. Through interactive terminals, explanatory panels and a video, they tell you about their job - or rather their passion! - and their treasure: the black Périgord truffle, the famous tuber melanosporum, which also flourishes in our beautiful department. The visit is free and ends with a refreshing moment: the tasting of a scoop of ice cream with truffles from Aveyron.
