TOOLS FOR BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

We could not talk about the town of 'Saint-Geniez d'Olt and Aubrac' without highlighting the dynamism of its trade and its crafts. By the diversity of its local shops, and by the presence of parking spaces in direct connection with the town center, it is easy to park and move around to do your shopping in the many shops of the town. Food, crafts, personal and household equipment, hotels and restaurants, leisure, IT, personal services, groceries, banks, insurance, real estate agencies, etc. represent all the richness of the sectors that you can find in the town.

• A vibrant merchant association :

The merchants, craftsmen and liberal professions of 'Saint-Geniez d'Olt and Aubrac' have chosen to join forces through the creation of an association, since 1993. Attached to ensuring that the town retains its dynamism, the association led many animations. Very committed to defending local consumption and supporting local trade and crafts, the association continues its actions:

By adopting a unifying name "Vivez Saint-Geniez!" and a logo, the association has equipped itself with new communication elements and breathed new life into its actions.

At the same time, the association is part of the AmiKdo collective, bringing together three local merchant associations (Laissac-Séverac l'Eglise, Saint-Geniez, Séverac d'Aveyron) around a common action, the creation of AmiKdo vouchers. These checks are a pillar of support for the local economy, since they can only be spent in partner shops (more than 100 in the territory).
These vouchers can be purchased by communities, companies, as well as individuals, on sale at the Tourist Offices of Causses in Aubrac. For more information: https://ucallaissac.wordpress.com/lamikdo/

The open market

There are many markets in France, during festive periods. they allow merchants and craftsmen to present their products, have them tasted and sell them to the inhabitants, but also to tourists. These events, where trade is mixed with tourist promotion, are popular and meet with certain success, during external events where professionals from the same territory are present. Thus the demonstration of the Aveyron days at Bercy in the heart of Paris sees the presence of brats who praise the qualities of cheese, charcuterie, beer, cakes on the spit... of Saint Geniez d'Olt and Aubrac and surroundings.

This presence can be found in local markets when events permit. Among these the period of Christmas and New Year. This highlight is complemented by entertainment that will delight young and old alike. The associations are present and supported by the Town Hall, they organize meeting points with mulled wine or chestnuts. The fame of these warm moments attract customers beyond the city, who take the opportunity to do their shopping or buy gifts.

NIGHT WALK

One of the most intense activities in the city is the night market. It is established from the end of June to the beginning of September. These are 4 to 5 moments that combine a set of manufacturers and traders who present local products for tasting: aligot, sausage, beers, pastries, plates of charcuterie,... Tourists, vacationers taste these products on tables laid out in the streets.

The now deeply rooted tradition has specialized some streets for the presentation of stands and allows people to stroll, discuss, taste... Proximity encourages exchange between all. They appreciate musical groups whose diversity enchants all audiences. Each place has its musical theme. Started around 6.30 p.m., the night market ends around 10.30 p.m. and it is the cafés that take over to accompany holidaymakers in this summer period when the banks of the Lot bring a welcome freshness.
