Everything the announcement says

Every detail, as the festival announced it.

Soup contest and presentation of La Louche d'or 2023 (published Sunday 12 November 2023).
This year the Mairie de La Genevraye organised the commune's first soup contest.
The event proved above all a very pleasant moment for residents to taste excellent hot soups together after the 11 November ceremony, which took place half an hour earlier in front of the Mairie.
The competing soups fought fine battles of sweetness and of sweet, bewitching, appetising aromas; rarely has the town hall smelled so deliciously of pumpkins, chestnuts and sweet potatoes.
Winner of the Public Prize: the association Collage, represented by its president Virginie Lavocat. Prize presented by Pascal Otlinghaus, mayor of the commune, accompanied by his first deputy Denis Soria (flag bearer at the 11 November 2023 ceremony).
Thanks to the competitors for their effort and to the tasters who took part in the tasting and the vote for the Louche D'Or 2023 prize.
After tasting the soups, the public placed its favourite choice in the ballot box to elect La Louche D'Or 2023.
A friendly festive and family gathering. After much positive feedback, the prize will be contested again next year on 11 November 2024.

How to read festival information

We work to keep festival information right, but festivals are run by others and details change. Here is how to read what you see on SoupFestivals.

Confirmed or expected

A confirmed date was announced for that edition. An expected date, such as "usually held around mid-October", is an estimate based on past editions, not an announcement.

Places can be approximate

We show a map pin and directions only when the venue's location is verified. If it is still unconfirmed, we keep the known venue name and town without a pin.

Check before you travel

Dates, prices, menus and venues can change, and festivals can be cancelled. Always confirm with the organizer before you go. If their information differs from ours, theirs is the one to follow.

Help us keep it right

If something looks wrong, tell us and we will look at it. Organizers can claim their festival page to send us updates.
