The Bénichon is a traditional Fribourg festival that has been celebrated for centuries.

Originally, this festival was a blessing celebration: a thank you to the gods for all that nature had given and what had been harvested throughout the year. Over the centuries, the religious ceremony has disappeared, leaving only the popular and gastronomic festival… You will eat for six hours or more: cuchaule, Bénichon mustard, broth, ham from la borne, leg of lamb accompanied by botzi pears, meringues, small fruits, Bénichon delights and double cream from Gruyère. Then comes the moment of dancing to the rhythm of folk music.
