World Cup for the longest aligot thread at the Mont-Aveyron 2023 village in Montmartre

Lovers of Aveyron flavors, and in particularaligot-saucisse, are in for a treat. On June 24 and 25, 2023, the Mont-Aveyron 2023 event takes to the heights of Montmartre, on the Place des Abbesses. A whole weekend dedicated to the best of Aveyron, with no fewer than 25 producers on hand to present (and, above all, let you taste) their regional products: aligot-saucisse, farçous, fouace, Laguiole cheese, Roquefort, and Aubrac meats are on the menu!

And what would a good aligot be without...its long strands of cheese! The first world cup for the longest aligot thread will be held during Mont-Aveyron 2023, under the patronage of street-artist Jo Di Bona! A not-to-be-missed event for lovers of string cheese!

The same street-artist will also be in the spotlight on Sunday June 25, with a 10 a.m. Live-Art performance paying tribute to Aveyron's most famous painter, Pierre Soulages. Other events include a special Aveyron apron parade by Zézette by Montmartre, a tribute to Michou, and a Sunday mass in the church of Saint Jean de Montmartre by the Bourrée Montagnarde.
