Fête du Racou 2026

Le Racou is a firm favourite with both locals and visitors. While many neighbouring coastal towns have been developed to host the growing number of tourists, le Racou still retains its traditional seaside resort feel.

Stroll down the “main street” and find saucy postcards, buckets and spades, shabby chic bars and cafés, a tiny boulangerie full of local treats…

Then cut through the renovated exile huts to the soft sandy beach and the sparkling blue Med.

The Festival….

Celebrate the arrival of spring at the Foire des producteurs et éleveurs des Albères  returning for its 23rd edition on Sunday 19 April at Valmarie car park in Le Racou.

This popular event brings together around 30 local producers, offering a wide range of regional specialities including cheeses, honey, seasonal fruit and vegetables, Roussillon wines, cured meats, olive oil, bread, local beers and more. Visitors can meet producers directly and discover the stories behind their products.

More than just a market, the fair transforms the seafront into a lively open-air farm. Families can enjoy animal encounters, pony rides, sheep shearing, sheepdog demonstrations and plenty of free activities for children, including games, treasure hunts and face painting.

Food stalls and barbecues featuring locally sourced meats will be available throughout the day.

Friendly, authentic and family-focused, this is a great day out celebrating local food, farming and traditions.

🕘 Sunday 19 April, 9am–5pm

And while you’re there, pop in and meet Astrid and Eric at their family supermarket.
