From the first fairs of the 18th of La Croisille, every month in the 19th e century, livestock and vegetable merchants came to sell the fruits of their labor on the Champ-de-Foire road. Nearly 200 years later, the meeting still brings together local producers like David Fessard, snail producer.
“It’s really the fair of the 18th which gives what I will put on the menu. »
Last month, we met early in the market aisle, a Corrèze restaurateur who came to do his shopping who told us: “One thing that people are rediscovering is direct contact with producers, here it's is really the fair of the 18th which gives what I will put on the menu. »
And, once on David's stand, the latter invited him to come and visit the snail farm of Châteauneuf Escargots, which allows him to offer his farm production of snails raised outdoors in a natural environment like cooked snails. , snail sausages, escargotines…
Next to his stand, that of the Cantal cheese maker will attract, as always, a small crowd of regulars who will gather and wait quietly for their turn before being served!
This is how David's life goes at the 18th La Croisille fair.
