A tradition of Fribourg during which food and conviviality between family and friends are at the heart of the programme. A little extra culinary touch: Estavayer-le-Lac hosts the competition for the best Benichon mustard.
For one weekend, Fribourg folklore will be on show in the medieval streets of Estavayer-le-Lac. Epicureans and curious visitors alike will enjoy tasting, discovering, laughing and living around the Bénichon and its customs. Entertainment and a small farm in the Rue du Musée are set up to entertain young and old together. The Benichon menu is the star of the festival. Visitors with a taste for traditional dishes will be delighted to sample ham, lamb, meringues and cuchaule in the town’s restaurants.
