Looking for an authentic summer evening in the Dordogne? Then you should not miss the Marchés Gourmands of Beaumont-du-Périgord. Every Monday evening, the central square of this beautiful bastide town in Beaumontois-en-Périgord transforms into a lively open-air market filled with local producers, regional specialities, live music and a warm village atmosphere.

For guests staying at Maison de Beaumont, this is one of the most enjoyable summer events in the area. The market is located just 300 metres from our Bed and Breakfast, making it easy to walk there and enjoy the evening without needing a car.

What are the Marchés Gourmands?

The Marchés Gourmands are a much-loved summer tradition throughout the Dordogne. Local producers and artisans offer their specialities from stalls around the central square of Beaumont-du-Périgord.

You simply choose your food from the different stalls and then take a seat at the large communal tables in the heart of this historic bastide town.

Local specialities and a friendly atmosphere

The market is known for its excellent selection of regional food and local products.

• Local wines from the Bergerac region
• Craft beers
• Grilled meats and regional specialities
• Cheeses from the Dordogne
• Crêpes, desserts and ice cream

The concept is simple and welcoming: buy your meal directly from the producers and enjoy it at the communal tables alongside locals and visitors while soaking up the atmosphere of a warm summer evening.

Live music every Monday evening

In addition to great food, live music adds even more atmosphere to the event. Every week a different band performs on the bandstand in the centre of the square.

The 2026 programme offers a varied mix of rock, blues, rhythm & blues and boogie woogie. Bands performing include Lucky Pepper, Lou Stonebridge, Mister Tchang & Easy Money and Get Lucky Music.

The free concerts turn every Monday evening into a lively gathering where locals and visitors come together to enjoy music, gastronomy and the unique atmosphere of Beaumont-du-Périgord.
