The published 2026–2027 calendar
Checked on 1 November 2026, the association’s agenda announces opening on Sunday 13 December, with inauguration from 9.30 am. Its usual hours are 10 am–12.30 pm on Place de l’Esplan. The page also mixes older programmes: confirm your visit date and the season’s closing with the organiser.
We attend the market: contact us to confirm when we will next be there, then prepare your purchase with your visit and meal dates. We will discuss available truffles, the weight you need and handover arrangements. An enquiry helps organise the purchase; it does not automatically reserve a batch.
An organised retail market
The organising association explains that truffles are submitted to a committee before sale. Read its official presentation and ask on site about the market's specific commitments. For your own purchase, also ask for the batch's species, origin, weight and storage guidance.
Prepare questions for our stall
Tell us when you will cook, for how many people and what dish. Our scrambled eggs for four use 20 g of truffle; our risotto for four uses 30 to 40 g. These quantities belong to those recipes and help you discuss the weight you need. One or several small pieces may suit your dish: the size of one truffle is different from the total weight to buy.
Ask for the offered batch’s total price, species, origin and net weight. For a restaurant enquiry, state the volume and service date. Payment and handover arrangements are agreed with us; our price guide explains how to compare offers without confusing a wholesale quotation with a retail batch price.
Plan the rest of your day
After buying, follow the storage guidance supplied with your truffles and plan the journey back accordingly. If other visits follow, arrange suitable storage before purchasing. Our quantity and storage guides help you plan the meal from the start rather than improvising at the last minute.
Meet us or book a truffle hunt
Continue your visit in Suze-la-Rousse with our three-hour workshop, at an individual rate of €99 including tax per person. Hunting with dogs takes place in winter, subject to natural conditions, with tasting and the programme confirmed before booking. Tell us your date and group size for a quotation and meeting point. A harvest is not guaranteed; buying truffles offered after the session is optional and separate from admission.
Want truffles for a meal without a workshop? Fresh Tuber melanosporum sales are prepared by quotation, subject to the harvest. State your quantity and date. The batch, weight, price and appointment-only collection or delivery charges and timing are confirmed before payment.
