Foire aux Entrecôtes à l'Échalote de Saint-Genouph

300 exhibitors and grilled entrecôtes by the Loire

The Foire aux Entrecôtes à l'Échalote de Saint-Genouph is one of the most popular events in Touraine. Over more than a kilometer of stalls, around 300 exhibitors offer furniture, tableware, toys, clothing, books, trinkets, tools, decoration, vinyl records, and objects of all kinds. On Saturday evening, guests gather for a country meal where grilled entrecôte with shallots is the undisputed star, accompanied by a country music dance, fairground rides, and the traditional St. John's Eve bonfire.

Saint-Genouph, a Loire village opposite Villandry

Saint-Genouph is a small village of about 1,800 inhabitants nestled on the left bank of the Loire, opposite the Château de Villandry and its famous gardens. This authentic Loire village, part of the World Heritage Loire Valley, offers an exceptional setting for this festival.
