The Big Prune Show at Agen
| August 31, 2007 | to | September 2, 2007 |
Agen (47 Lot-et-Garonne, Aquitaine) is home to the famous Agen Prune - the gently baked moist plums which are a key feature of SW France cuisine. The delicacy (although not that delicate) is protected as an Appellation Controllee.
Agen celebrates its Prune with a weekend festival every Autumn - taste and learn with music and dancing and the town in a festive mood. The local wine is Buzet AC - good Bordeaux style red, white and rose.
