From November 1 to 11, true food lovers flock to Burgundy. That is where you will find the Foire Internationale et Gastronomique de Dijon: the largest and oldest gastronomic fair.

Every year in early November, Dijon, the capital of Burgundy, is entirely dedicated to gastronomy. The Foire Internationale et Gastronomique de Dijon has a history spanning over 100 years. For gourmets, it is an absolute must.

The fair offers an impressive array of culinary experiences. You can enjoy cooking shows, chef demonstrations, and masterclasses where top chefs share their secrets. There are numerous stalls where you can taste local specialties, such as the world-famous Dijon mustard, flavorful Burgundy wines, and artisanal cheeses. Regional dishes are also prominently featured.

However, the event looks beyond Burgundy. Each year, a different country is invited to present its culinary traditions. This theme gives the fair an international flair, with stalls and demonstrations where you can discover new flavors.

In addition to tasting and learning, you can also watch exciting culinary competitions. Local producers compete for the title of best regional product, while renowned chefs face off in culinary contests. For visitors, this is not only entertaining but also an opportunity to discover new favorites.
