The fairs and markets of the Pays Horloger

Here, fair rhymes with “double fats and calf’s head.” It’s more of a culinary adventure that awaits you than a stroll between the merchants’ stalls. The important thing on fair days is to secure a place in a restaurant that serves the traditional double fats and calf’s head. It’s an opportunity to get together around this traditional dish. Find here the dates and locations of the fairs and markets of Pays Horloger as well as the summer night markets.

The fairs

Coming from a long tradition of trade and meeting, fairs are still organized, once a month in the largest municipalities of Pays Horloger. If the exhibitors' stalls have changed, there remains a moment of sharing, elevated to the rank of institution in restaurants in the area. These are the double fat and calf's head.

On fair days, it is best to book your table; many restaurants offer a special “fair” menu and are quickly popular to come and taste the double fats and calf’s head.

Maize:
The fair takes place on the third Thursday of each month from 9:00 a.m. on Place de la Rasse.

Morteau : 
The fair of Morteau takes place every first Tuesday of the month on the Champ de Foire square.

Local markets

While large cities have managed to maintain their markets, this is less the case in our rural communities. However, some markets are offered by a few producers, and some wonderful initiatives are emerging.

Maiche :
Saturday mornings on the Town Hall Square from May to October, from 8 a.m. to 13 p.m. Up to ten merchants are present.

Morteau :
