Thiviers, a town hailed as the capital of foie gras. This delicacy, made from duck and goose liver, is the culinary pride of the region. Every Saturday morning, between 08:00 and 12:00, the centre of Thiviers turns into a bustling market full of local products. This market is one of the largest and most lively in the region, where you will find truffles, cheeses and fresh Périgord produce in addition to foie gras.
