Do I have to pay for the chip bracelet?

Yes, they are sold in the kiosks distributing bracelets at the entry of the main tent at the prize of 15$ taxes included.

Is there an admission fee for the main tent?

Yes ! This year, the precarious financial situation of the Foire Gourmande forces us to impose an entry fee for all visitors over the age of 14. You can purchase the bracelet online or on site during the event.

Can I pay for things without using the chip bracelet?

The ‘braceletteries’ and top-up points accept cash, as well as both debit and credit cards (Visa and MasterCard). However for all transactions made at the exhibitor kiosks or in any of the bars, the chip bracelets are the only accepted method of payment.

What do I do if I lose my bracelet?

Go to one of the bracelet kiosks (braceletterie) in the main tent. If you have registered with Espace Cashless, we will be able to recover your money and show admission and transfer these onto another bracelet.

Do I have to wear the bracelet throughout the event?

Yes! The bracelet is mandatory to access the site, you must keep it on your wrist. And don’t worry, you can still take a shower while wearing the bracelet, it’s waterproof!

Will I be reimbursed for any outstanding credit on the bracelet?

Only those festivalgoers who have registered with Espace Cashless will be reimbursed. The Foire Gourmande will contact all those concerned after the event. Please be aware that any unclaimed credit will be distributed amongst the organisations who participated in the event.

The Foire will respect all Public Health recommendations regarding COVID-19 or any other illness
