Gastronomy, events, our region is full of traditions…
Brandons of Payerne
The Brandons de Payerne are one of the oldest carnivals in Switzerland. One weekend a year in Payerne, madness is not only allowed, it’s highly recommended…
Bénichon Festival of Estavayer-le-Lac
A Fribourg tradition where food and conviviality with family and friends are at the heart of the programme. A little extra gourmet touch: Estavayer-le-Lac hosts the competition for the best Bénichon mustard.
Tirage
This is one of the major events where all the people of Payerne, from near and far, come together in friendship and fraternity.
St Martin’s Fair
The St Martin’s Fair in Payerne is the perfect way to stroll through the town while tasting, bargain-hunting and soaking up the atmosphere of a festival with an authentic, down-to-earth flavour.
The St Nicholas procession
Every year, in the picturesque streets of Estavayer-le-Lac, the traditional St Nicholas comes to life.
