Gourmet products local specialties and wines Formigueres

Awarded four times in 2011 for all its work, the Gaec Perarnaud is a quality farm. No doubt privileged by the Pyrenees natural meadows where this generous nature rich in flowers and other fodder herbs gives the meat this exceptional taste. This ecological agriculture is rightly rewarded by what is too rare. So bravo to the Pérarnaud family for its 1 st prize: Agriculture, Biodiversity, Landscape and Excellence. Do not hesitate, they sell their products from the farm and are welcoming as are all people in the mountain.

Welcome to the farm! At the very top of Formiguères, Françoise and Jean-Pierre will make you discover their ewe breeding for the greatest happiness of the young and old. The love they have for their animals can be felt in the production and they will be happy to make you taste the yoghurts and cheeses made from sheep's milk. Tommes, bricks, Pérail, lactic and bush, here everything smells of nature and tradition. A superb wooden and stone gîte with the 3 ears of corn label is available to rent for a week or a weekend, an invitation to discover the wonders of the Capcir.

How can you tell which is a good butcher's shop? Simply by the people who queue up in the street! At Yannick's, you almost have to make an appointment to be served quickly. If you don't know the difference in taste between a pig that gambols and a pig raised on straw, rush to this dynamic shopkeeper in Formiguères. Le Petit Futé literally fell in love with the quality and flavour of the meat (a taste of yesteryear), but also with the simplicity and love of the trade of this young man with a future. Congratulations!

Traditional bakery, homemade sweets: everything is good at Papou. A real institution in Formiguères and Capcir, this bakery is the place where everyone stops to buy their bread, croissant or cake. People queue up all the way to the street. The owners are adorable. A true welcome from the heart, a spirit of village warmth, a strong sense of tradition that makes you want to stay longer in Formiguères. Small mountain villages are really alive and kicking thanks to their shopkeepers!

In the Pérarnaud family, we are proud to be farmers from father to son with the same concern to perpetuate a tradition that is part of modernity. At the farm, we offer you succulent beef and veal (we're not lying to you, we've tasted it!) retail or in parcels, raw milk and fresh cheeses. As tourism has become an economic engine of agriculture, the Pérarnaud farm opens its doors to you every day at the time of milking the cows to let you discover this peasant world from the inside. A beautiful journey to the land of authenticity.
