Larrazet Festival in November 2026, near our holiday cottages in Faudoas

During your stay in our gîtes in Faudoas, make the most of the Larrazet Festival, to be held on Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 November 2026. Located approximately 19 km from Faudoas, about 20 minutes’ drive, Larrazet is hosting this cultural event focusing on the history and current affairs of the media. It’s an interesting way to spend an afternoon, allowing you to discover a local event whilst making the most of your stay in Tarn-et-Garonne.

A cultural event in the heart of Larrazet

The Larrazet Festival 2026 are taking place at the village hall, situated on Avenue Camille Bègue. This 42nd edition focuses on the history, development and contemporary issues facing the media.

Over the course of two days, a number of speakers from a variety of backgrounds will come together to share their knowledge and experiences with the public. Historians, journalists, writers and media experts will take part in discussions on a range of topics, from the evolution of the press to the role of news in today’s society.

The programme therefore provides a better understanding of how the media have evolved over time, whilst also prompting reflection on recent changes linked to digital technology and new ways of using information.

Lectures on the history of the press

On Saturday 21 November, the matches kick off at 2.00 pm with the first section devoted to the historical perspective. Several contributions examine the evolution of the French press, its development over the centuries and the major changes that have shaped the media landscape.

Visitors can, in particular, explore various related topics:

• on the history of the press between the 18th and 20th centuries
• on the development of major French newspapers
• the changes in the journalism profession
• new ways of producing and disseminating information

A round-table discussion on the profession of journalism is then scheduled for Saturday evening at 9.00 pm. It provides a practical insight into the realities of the job, recent developments in the profession and the new challenges facing information professionals.

A second day focusing on today’s media

On Sunday 22 November, the programme resumes at 2.00 pm with a section devoted to current affairs in the media. The various sessions focus, in particular, on how news is constructed, disseminated and received by the public.

These discussions also provide an opportunity to reflect on issues that have become crucial, such as the proliferation of information sources, digital practices, critical thinking and even freedom of information.

This day’s programme thus offers a perspective that complements that of Saturday’s. Having gained a better understanding of the history of the press and the media, visitors can explore current changes and how our relationship with information continues to evolve.

A unique outing to discover in November

The Journées de Larrazet offer a different kind of outing from traditional sightseeing trips. They give you the chance to experience a local event whilst enjoying a cultural and enriching experience.

Whether you’re interested in history, the media or journalism, or simply curious to take part in an event organised in the region, this event can easily be fitted into a weekend in Lomagne.

November also brings a quieter atmosphere to the region. The surrounding villages and countryside can be explored at a different pace, far from the hustle and bustle of the peak tourist season.

Discover Larrazet and the surrounding area

Your visit to the Journées de Larrazet can also be an opportunity to take the time to explore the village and the countryside of the Lomagne. This part of Tarn-et-Garonne is characterised by its rural setting, its hills, its farmland and its charming little villages.

Depending on how much time you have, you could round off this outing with a walk in the surrounding area, a tour of the local heritage sites or a stop in one of the neighbouring villages.

We also share a number of suggestions on our page dedicated to Activities near our holiday cottages. You can also visit Our top picks near Faudoas to round off your programme whilst you’re here.
