Truffle Ecomuseum

The truffle museum is organized around four distinct spaces: a museum area dedicated to truffle, a tourist office in the Grand Périgueux, as well as a shop offering truffle products and a selection of local, regional and French specialities. Depending on the season, it is also possible to buy fresh truffle: the Tuber melanosporum, called truffle of the Périgord, from December to February, and the Tuber aestivum, or truffle of summer, from June to August, depending on the arrivals.
