Visite de la coopérative Unicoque et des vergers de noisetiers
Discover the story of the Unicoque cooperative, founded in 1979 in Cancon, which has achieved the incredible feat of federating almost all French hazelnut production (98%). As a result, the cooperative now has a 50% share of the European market for hazelnuts sold in the shell.
Discover the story of our 350 producers through our production unit. Day after day, they and their employees build the Unicoque cooperative to defend the fruit of their labor: walnuts and hazelnuts produced in France.

Planning your stay around local events
There is always something happening around Le Petit Capelier. Issigeac’s famous Sunday market takes over the medieval village every week, while Bergerac, Eymet, Villeréal and Castillonnès host regular markets, brocantes, concerts, exhibitions and festivals throughout the year.
During the summer, look out for marchés gourmands and village fêtes, where long communal tables, local food, Bergerac wines and live music make for wonderfully relaxed evenings. The vineyards around Monbazillac and Bergerac also host tastings, concerts and special events throughout the season.
We update this calendar regularly as new events are announced, including some of the smaller local happenings that can be surprisingly difficult to discover online.
