The mushroom fair of Saint-Bonnet-le-Froid
The mushroom fair takes over the village on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 November. Saint-Bonnet-le-Froid sits at 1,126 metres, on the edge of Haute-Loire and Ardèche, counts starred restaurants and expects up to 20,000 visitors over the two days, from 7:30 am to 7 pm. Entry is free.
About forty professional dealers set up from 7:30 am in the streets and squares of the village, selling antiques, old crockery, collectibles and tools until 7 pm.
The dried mushroom market is the heart of the fair. Porcini, chanterelles and black trumpets pass from one stall to the next, run by local and regional producers.
A mycology exhibition offers workshops. The village chefs give cooking demonstrations, and the starred restaurants serve menus built around mushrooms.
