Festival de l’élevage: from good breeding to good eating
Join us on 22 and 23 August 2026 in Brive-La-Gaillarde for the 57th edition. It's a unique opportunity to discover more than a hundred breeders and producers and over 600 animals on a 15,000m2 site in the town centre. A giant farm in the heart of Brive!
An event to promote and defend local produce
The Festival de l'élevage du bien élever au bien manger (formerly known as the Festival de l'élevage et de la table gourmande) is a local institution. By bringing the countryside to the heart of the town, it revives the tradition of the real fairs of yesteryear.
It's a chance for the general public to discover the finest animals selected from their breeds, and for professionals to meet and exchange ideas. There will be horse, poultry, alpaca, sheep, pig, Salers cow and bird shows.
The aim of the event is to promote and defend the quality of local produce and the expertise of the region's producers, to the delight of young and old alike.
