The Saint-Luc Fair was held on Saturday, October 17, at the Tydos site in Lourdes, drawing a large crowd of farmers, breeders, artisans, and families for a festive day.

The Tydos site regained its usual liveliness for the 2026 Saint-Luc Fair, organized in partnership with the Young Farmers of the Lourdes canton. From the opening, the public enjoyed a day filled with the sounds of bells and horses, in a friendly atmosphere.
Farmers, breeders, artisans, associations, families, and enthusiasts were present. The site filled up around horses, sheep, lambs, Lourdes cows, and goats. Activities were varied, including horse-drawn carriage or pony rides, a tractor circuit for children, an artisanal village, sheepdog demonstrations, and other events throughout the day.
This new format of the Saint-Luc Fair emphasized the pleasure of gathering and sharing, allowing attendees to discover the richness of the agricultural world. Organizers thanked all participants, exhibitors, partners, and visitors for their contribution to the event's success.
The commitment of the Lourdes City services was also highlighted, with their mobilization ensuring that exhibitors and visitors were welcomed in the best possible conditions.
