Like Obelix with the magic potion, Mélodie Boileau and Thibault Dussert know the world of wine inside out. In fact, the family has been publishing the annual Dussert-Gerber Wine Guide since 1972. Brother and sister already ran the Gradignan boutique. Now they're back in Arcachon. And when your name is L'Amour du vin, you do it well. Here, we sell at the same price as at the estate! What's more, it's not uncommon for the winemakers themselves to come and show you their wines for guided tastings.

Launched in Paris in early 2020, La Quéquetterie has quickly grown to 10 locations, and it looks like the family isn't finished growing. The idea for this new pastry concept came from a young Venezuelan, Taziana Jurdi. She makes pancakes or filled waffles in the shape of penises and vulvas. The names are evocative: Sexy Coconut, Black and White, Sugar Daddy, Coco Lover, Cugar or the legendary unicorn... You can also create your own delicacy by choosing the base and toppings to add.

The Loco Polo comes straight from Spain. In a latino atmosphere, we discover frozen sticks not quite like the others. They are vegan, natural and not very sweet, so they are suitable for everyone, even people with dietary restrictions such as diabetes. Another originality: their double texture. The cheesecake stick, for example, is a milk ice cream with a runny raspberry heart. Those with a sweet tooth can even dip their ice cream in white, dark or milk chocolate and add toppings..

The presentation is superb, very colorful, almost like a painting...
