Fairs and exhibitions Franche-Comté

An established tradition in Pouilley-Français for over three decades, the Salon des Saveurs d'Automne is a must-attend event that showcases the region's terroir. With nearly 200 exhibitors, including 40 organic producers and 35 craftspeople, it offers an exceptional showcase for local producers. Maintained by dedicated and dynamic organizers, supported by a hundred or so passionate volunteers and loyal partners, the fair is a veritable feast of flavors, with tastings of pressed apples, pumpkin soups and all-regional meals.

The autumn fair welcomes many visitors every year in October. The concept of 1797 was re-examined in 2015 to focus mainly on the know-how of local producers and craftsmen. Horses, donkeys and ponies animate the morning foirle, while demonstrations of the work of the comtan horses throughout the day are very interesting and small. Street shows, riparian walks and apple juice manufacture are honored. The carnival party makes some happy, too. It is an opportunity to discover the products of the Jura and to spend a pleasant day wandering through waffles, hot marmalades and bourru wine.

The Foire Expo de Dole is a not-to-be-missed event in the Jura region, held at the Dolexpo exhibition center. For three days, over 150 exhibitors are present on a 9,000 m2 exhibition area, in the home, gastronomy, well-being and automotive sectors. In addition to the stands, the fair offers a wide range of events, including an agricultural hub, a mini-farm and a giant animation on the world of prehistoric animals. Admission is free for all. Dole is easy to get to, thanks to its proximity to the A36 and A39 freeways. The Dolexpo exhibition center is located in the south of Dole, close to the D7 road, and free parking is available on site. The Dole train station is served by TGV and TER Burgundy-Franche-Comté trains.
