Foire d'automne de Châtillon-en-Diois

The Autumn Fair of Châtillon-en-Diois: the last event of the season

Every last Sunday of October, Châtillon-en-Diois holds its Autumn Fair. This traditional event marks the end of the outdoor festival season in Diois and is a highlight of local life before the first winter chills. Artisans, producers, and individuals gather in the village square for a warm and colorful market day.

Autumn in Diois, a golden season

At the end of October, the Diois region offers magnificent landscapes: the walnut trees covering the slopes have taken on their gold and rust colors, the last wild lavenders are completing their cycle, and the Clairette de Die vineyards have delivered their grapes. The oblique autumn light illuminates the limestone cliffs and the old stone walls of the medieval village with a warm, golden hue. It is in this remarkable seasonal setting that the Autumn Fair takes place, a unique opportunity to enjoy the village in the fading good weather.

Traditional market and flea market

The Autumn Fair blends tradition and modernity: alongside flea market and car boot sale exhibitors, you'll find local producers presenting their latest harvests—walnuts, chestnuts, cheeses, honeys, Clairette de Die wines—as well as artisans from Diois and Baronnies. This mix of traditional market and flea market gives the Autumn Fair its special flavor and appeal to all audiences, from bargain hunters to gourmets.
