white truffles in Burgundy

[luigisdad]

Hi:
We'll be staying in a gite near Beaune for a week starting next week. Does anybody know if white truffles are available for purchase in Beaune as this would be a wonderful but simple meal to have at the gite? If so, any idea on price?

Souphie and others have commented that the going rate in Paris is 4000 euro per kg. Currently, the US price for white truffles is approximately $150 per oz, which works out to be $5245/kg, or 3500euro/kg. So, it appears that it is cheaper in the US than in Paris.

Thanks
Roy
