Starting November 17th, the black truffle season (Tuber Melanosporum) will be launched. It’s the round of applause of Truffles that takes place in Richerenches on Saturday morning from 10am in the morning!

We are talking here about the “Tuber Melanosporum”, and it is in Richerenches that it has earned a great reputation. It is its strong local production that makes this village one of the largest truffle markets in France!

It always starts in mid-November, i.e. the Saturday following the 15th of November. We find, brokers, “trufficulteurs”, tourists and curious in the Avenue de la Rabasse and the Cours du Mistral. The market is divided into two parts: the first is the market of local products and truffles retail, the second is the market reserved for professionals.

It is after setting the price that the transactions begin. Finally, the market is empty around 13pm, leaving still the smell of truffle in the streets of Richerenches. At 14 pm, the foodies enjoy the tasting omelets truffle proposed in the village hall!
