Come at nightfall to experience a truly shared experience at the night markets! Taste local produce and experience authentic encounters with our local producers.

What are the night markets in Aveyron?

In Bastides & Gorges de l'Aveyron, we have three night markets which take place every year on the same dates:

  • in Najac: every Wednesday evening on the Place du Faubourg
  • in Villefranche: every Sunday evening at Saint-Jean
  • in Villeneuve: 1st Friday of July and August on the Place des Conques

Night markets are also part of many village festivals.

The best of summer evenings

In summer, in the town squares of Villefranche , Najac , or Villeneuve , local producers await you for an evening filled with good cheer, where the sounds of local accents and clinking glasses make the heart of our fortified towns beat faster . We promise you a festive and welcoming atmosphere!

In village squares, illuminated by lanterns and colorful garlands, savor this moment with family, as a couple, or with friends. These are moments to come together and enjoy delicious traditional and local dishes : this is what makes our region so special !

Tips

The night markets most often take place between 18 p.m. and 23 p.m. You can find salty and sweet and something to quench your thirst. Don't wait too long to have more choices!

Producers for full of flavors

Gather around large outdoor tables , savor local and farm-fresh produce , dance to festive music, and laugh with your table neighbors. Simple moments filled with generosity!

Night markets are also the perfect place to meet people and relax in a friendly atmosphere after a beautiful sunny day. Meet local personalities, passionate about their region, who will introduce you to the Aveyron way of life.

As you stroll through the square, choose your evening meal! Indulge your taste buds! To start, after a small aperitif, choose between farçous, aligot sausage, or truffade. And of course, don't miss the pastries: fouaces, croquande. There's something for everyone! Homemade dishes offer an authentic taste of Aveyron cuisine.
