St Martin's day

The feast day of St Martin: an age-old rural tradition

For many centuries this festival has marked the end of the harvests and the beginning of the hardships of winter. It is also a time for feasting on fine poultry: plump chickens, geese and fattened ducks, etc. St Martin’s Day is widely celebrated in many European countries and regions of France where it is an opportunity to share a festive meal of St Martin’s Day goose and indulgent slices of Foie Gras on toast.
