Gastronomy is an essential value for the cheerful Brive Tourisme team. The month of February is marked by Candlemas. Also, we offer you a recipe for revisited crepes.

A little reminder for the forgetful: the date of Candlemas is February 2. During this festival the tradition is to enjoy delicious pancakes, accompanied by spreads and jams.

Crepe recipes may vary. The gaillarde team offers you two recipes based on our good local products: the light pancake recipe with chestnut flour (let's not forget that the chestnut is the emblem of Limousin!) and a recipe for crepe with chestnut flour, figs and hazelnuts .

For example, you can enjoy these pancakes with spread. Bovetti which is on sale at the reception of the Tourist office (Place du 14 Juillet) or if you prefer to buy spread from the Lamy chocolatier. And to refresh yourself, what could be better than a good apple juice or a local cider? Lou Father Benoit or Janty Cider House. Fruit juices Vineyards and Orchards of Corrèze or Press of the Manoir de St-Bazile de Meyssac will also go perfectly with this dessert.
