The best local producers Midi-Pyrénées

Christiane Daro raises ducks in the traditional way in the open air.

The processing is also done on site to preserve the freshness of the products. You can therefore buy here foies gras, cassoulets, fritons, magrets and confits... You can also order here the products you need for a buffet, a wedding or any important event!
