Trouy Christmas Market
Trouy’s Christmas market brings more than forty craftspeople, designers, artists and local producers together around seasonal making and food. Stalls range from handmade objects to chocolates, regional wines, honey, preserves and foie gras, giving the market a clear connection to nearby skills and ingredients. Family entertainment includes balloon sculpture and festive appearances, while Mother Christmas takes on the role of storyteller through enchanted tales. The mix of edible goods, creative work and narrative activity gives different generations distinct forms of contact with the market. Decoration remains secondary to the people behind the products and the knowledge carried by their work. In Trouy, that combination creates a social winter gathering shaped by Berry produce, small businesses and the pleasure of choosing something made with a recognisable hand or local origin.
Ranch Jack Anniversary Day
Ranch Jack celebrates two decades through horses, rural skills and the community that grew around the centre in Le Moutoux. Local farmers and craftspeople fill the market, while riders contest the in-house horseback archery and Équifun finals before equestrian demonstrations. Younger guests can meet the ponies in a village designed for first rides, giving families a direct introduction to the ranch. Displays about Ranch Jack trace an unusual story that began in Martinique before crossing the Atlantic and taking root in the Jura. A Creole meal carries that Caribbean connection into the shared table, alongside refreshments and food available throughout the gathering. A raffle and the varied programme bring competitors, makers and neighbours together around the ranch’s anniversary.
Kerien Horse Fair
