OF COURSE!
It’s inevitable to sample the local charcuterie and all the specialities of the local butchers.
The most famous of these is Aubrac beef, from a historic local breed(Aubrac plateau) that is both tender and tasty, and known throughout France.
If you’re a meat lover, you’ll be able to sample it in the area’s restaurants, or buy it from local butchers and producers.
When it comes to fish, you won’t want to miss the trout from St-Frézal(La Canourgue), fario and rainbow trout in all their forms: whole fresh trout, plain or smoked trout fillets, in terrines…
These products are sold direct from the La Canourgue fish farm, as well as at market stalls and the local supermarket.
