A culinary treat in the heart of Lavit

The Hazelnut and Autumn Flavours Festival takes place in the Lavit market hall, in the heart of the village. Throughout the day, producers, craftspeople and visitors come together to celebrate a product that is emblematic of the region.

Hazelnuts are available in a variety of forms. You’ll find fresh hazelnuts, oils, spreads and a range of specialities made from this nut. Other local produce and artisanal creations also feature at the market.

Local producers and specialities

This festival is a wonderful opportunity to meet producers from the Lomagne region and learn more about their work. The stalls offer visitors the chance to discover the rich agricultural and culinary heritage of Tarn-et-Garonne.

During your visit, you’ll be able to see, amongst other things:

• hazelnuts and hazelnut products
• autumn fruits and flavours
• specialities offered by local producers
• flowers and handmade crafts
• a food market and a refreshment stand

This event therefore showcases seasonal produce whilst fostering dialogue with local industry professionals.

A family day out in Lomagne

La Hazelnut Festival in Lavit also offers a range of activities suitable for both children and adults. Everyone can explore the stalls at their own pace and soak up the village atmosphere.
