It is on July 4 that the launch of the 3rd edition of the Lot’ochtone gourmet market will take place, which will take place every Thursday in July and August, on the Place de Saint-Daunès, commune of Barguelonne-en- Quercy.
With its retro decoration, its large tables covered with gingham tablecloths, its decorative panels and its pennants, this market, organized by the Saint-Daunès festival committee and by the associative café A bistrot de nas, has been able to develop and retain its loyalty. customer base. Its approach consists of surrounding itself with local producers and artisans offering quality products. Last year it became one of the first gourmet markets in the Lot to be labeled an eco-responsible market by the Syded du Lot.
As Maxime Gazaud, president of the associative café and head of the organization, indicates, “the big news this year, as an extension of our approach aimed at drastically reducing our waste, is the ban on disposable containers and cutlery, even recyclable or compostable, to set up the all-reusable in connection with the fifteen exhibitors present and the Syded 46. This measure, among many others, will make us the first gourmet market in the Lot and Occitanie in take part in such an extensive process. »
