Complicit market

On the occasion of the 22nd edition of its Open Days, Château Arton is hosting, on Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 December 2025, the third edition of the Marché Complice du Gers, with the support of the Lectoure Town Hall and the Collège Culinaire de France.

The concept? A temporary gourmet hall where chefs, producers, and flavors from the Southwest come together in a prestigious setting and a joyfully effervescent atmosphere.

A gourmet event that is now unmissable
For the third consecutive year, Château Arton has partnered with the Collège Culinaire de France to host this highlight dedicated to culinary craftsmanship. Nearly thirty Artisans Militants de la Qualité, from Occitanie and Nouvelle-Aquitaine, will be in the spotlight to offer a true celebration of terroirs and know-how. Conceived as a culinary festival of the Southwest, a few weeks before the holidays, this event brings together rare gastronomic gems, carefully selected. Each year, the composition of exhibitors evolves and the format is reinvented, to better surprise. Far from a weekly market, this event highlights the originality of exceptional food products, found on the tables of the greatest chefs.

A food hall in the heart of Gascony
Armagnacais and the Collège Culinaire de France are reviving a tradition inspired by elsewhere in Lectoure: the food hall, which transforms tasting into a collective adventure. For a weekend, the estate's cellars are transformed into a fine grocery store and quality food court, bringing together passionate artisans who offer a mosaic of flavors to be enjoyed at your leisure. You can stroll, nibble, toast, or sit down with friends and family for a true overview of regional expertise.

With fixed-price plates of €5 and €7, everyone can indulge and create a feast that's as generous as it is affordable. The Arton food court thus becomes a vibrant space, where gastronomy and culture meet in an atmosphere that's as warm as it is refined.
