- Description
- The medieval town of Sarlat hosts one of the biggest and best food markets in the Dordogne. On this 2 hour tour, visit on market day to experience the town at its most atmospheric. Meet your English speaking local guide, expert in Dordogne Culinary specialties.
- Walk towards the Market and begin your discovery of the best produce of the Dordogne region. Then your first stop will be at a family run local delicacies shop. Here, we will stop to taste small toasts spread with pâtés or foie gras from either duck or goose. Then taste a Top rated Foie Gras from a local producer that has obtained many rewards at the Paris Exhibition.
- Finish this tasting stop with a local cheese called Trappe d'Echourgnac. Trappist cheese is pressed, uncooked, fermented by retro-rubbing or by using the “morge” scrubbing technique.
- Then walnut liqueur is added. How much? And, then what? Well, that’s a secret never to be told! All this will be rinsed with a tasting of a White & Red Bergerac wine.
- Then follow your guide through the medieval streets of Sarlat. This walking tour allows your guide to point out all the local products of the season that arrive from all corners of the Dordogne. If you are lucky, it might be the season of strawberries, of which the Dordogne is famous for, and your guide will make sure that you have the opportunity to sample some.
- Un autre arrêt très apprécié est celui d'un producteur local de gâteaux aux noix. La noix est une véritable spécialité de la Dordogne. On dit qu'il existe autant de recettes que de canards et d'oies en Dordogne, et c'est beaucoup ! Laissez votre guide vous emmener chez son producteur préféré.
- Votre prochaine étape se fera à l'intérieur de l'église Sainte-Marie qui abrite le marché couvert. Bien que ce marché soit également accessible les autres jours, nous nous y arrêterons car c'est une belle occasion de déguster des spécialités très différentes. En entrée, vous dégusterez du Foie Gras mi-cuit accompagné d'un verre de vin blanc de Bergerac. Il sera suivi d'un Margret séché au poivre.
- Enfin, écoutez votre guide vous présenter le roi des champignons, la truffe noire. Si vous souhaitez en acheter, c'est ici qu'il faut aller. Vous pouvez également acheter de l'huile de truffe noire qui constitue un excellent assaisonnement.
- Nous reviendrons par le marché pour nous diriger vers notre dernière étape. Sur le chemin, nous ferons encore quelques arrêts avant d'atteindre votre séance de dégustation finale. Ici, tout sera question de noix !
- Goûtez l'huile de noix locale, les croquants, un biscuit sec et un croquant au sucre caramélisé. Terminez la dégustation avec un verre de liqueur de noix pour rincer toutes ces délicieuses friandises.
