Mirandol-Bourgnounac Monthly Market

A monthly market rooted in Ségala tradition

Mirandol-Bourgnounac, on the banks of the Viaur river in the north-east of the Tarn, has kept for generations the tradition of a monthly market in the village centre. Heir to the cattle fairs that shaped 19th and 20th-century Ségala life, this fourth-Monday market is one of the last of its kind in the department. 27 April 2026 marks the spring meeting.

A real snapshot of rural Ségala

From 8am, breeders and local producers set up: cows and calves (the cattle market remains the historic heart), sheep's cheese, artisanal charcuterie, chestnut honey, seasonal vegetables, fruit. A few general stalls add clothing, tools and bric-à-brac.

Authentic village atmosphere

Farmers from the Ségala plateau and the Viaur valley, villagers and neighbours meet and chat. A rare dive into a living rural France.

Mirandol, gateway to the Viaur

Discreet but charming heritage: church, schist houses, ruins of the Barrières castle, and above all the nearby Viaur gorges for hiking and kayaking. Extend your day with a walk along the river or a visit to Sauveterre-de-Rouergue.
