A Living Journey to the Heart of Périgord’s Black Diamond

The Truffle Ecomuseum is more than a mere exhibition space; it is a living environment that illustrates truffle culture in its entirety. As both a rural legacy and a living heritage, it highlights the interactions between nature and humanity, the truffle, and its gastronomy. It restores this exceptional mushroom to its place within the life cycle of the Périgord region, explaining its history, its practices, and the customs that surround it.

One of the highlights of the visit is meeting those who know the truffle in its daily reality. The exchanges are rich, the explanations are vivid and accessible, and—during the season—truffle-hunting demonstrations (cavage) can be organized to enhance the experience.

The tasting, often included, allows you to understand how this mushroom transforms flavors on the palate. With truffle toasts paired with a glass of local white wine, it is a convivial and sensory moment to be shared.

This place is a natural expression of the Périgord spirit—an art of living that honors the land, the products, the stories, and the people. Here, the truffle is the ultimate reveal of a terroir, a climate, a tradition, and a community that deserves to be explored, understood, and savored.
