Every year, on the third Sunday in September, Murat hosts its gourmet cornet festival. Our bakers work around the clock to supply the cornets for our 15,000 visitors, and our caterers come up with new fillings for each edition, from the most classic to the most daring! If you don’t believe us, try the foie gras mousse cornet!
The entire event began with a pastry: the cornet.
This dry, soft, horn-shaped biscuit was created by the Murat bakers.
It originated from a tradition once practised by our Cantalien grandmothers, and has been perpetuated ever since, culminating in the creation of this traditional festival in 2004.
During this event, you will wander through the picturesque streets of the historic town of Murat.
A range of stands await you, offering a variety of fillings to serve with your cornet. Savoury, sweet and combinations to please all tastes!
