The best regional grocery stores Puy-De-Dôme

During the summer of 2022, the unmissable Salaisons du Sancy was taken over by Michael Vaufrey. Coming from a family of pork butchers and a professional in the retail sector, he has completely redesigned and expanded the store. There is a grocery section, home-made charcuterie offered by the pork butcher Pascal Tournadre, ready-made meals, a special wine, beer and liquor section. The faithful customers can be reassured, the salting remains the main activity and the quality is always present. Tastings and open days will be organized.

Welcome to the temple of Auvergne products! This vast store gathers in one place cheeses, delicatessen, fruits and vegetables, drinks, delicatessen... Everything is made in Auvergne. Marc, a butcher by profession, wanted to bring together the producers and the best products of the region. He makes it a point of honor to communicate on their origin and the practices of the producers. La Ferme auvergnate cooks charcuterie, terrines and homemade specialties, based on pork from Combrailles. It also prepares gourmet baskets to offer.

Since 1987, this store is a paradise for the amateurs of true regional products: cheeses (saint-nectaire, cantal, murol, fourme d'Ambert, gabron, salers, fournols...), delicatessen (terrine with Auvergne blue cheese, rabbit or boar terrine..), cured meats (Auvergne ham with mountain appellation, sausage with walnuts, blueberries...) but also wines, aperitifs, craft beers (Côte d'Auvergne, Châteauguay, Madargue, Domaine Ray, Pisse d'Âne...), liqueurs, honeys, jams. Indeed, whether on the ceiling or on the shelves, there is everything here and plenty of it!

Looking for local, French-made products? Want to change your way of consuming? Make a stop at the Boutik' d'Avenir. Here, local products are the stars. Fruits and vegetables, meats, delicatessen, honeys, cookies... the proposal is rich and organic for many items. It is possible to stop for a glass of fruit juice or an ice cream... local of course! Educational workshops are regularly organized for children. An opportunity to make them aware of environmental issues.

During a visit to Orcival, a visit to La Bresade is a must. Why? Because this small store judiciously gathers an anthology of Auvergne products. Since 1998, Stéphanie Falgoux has been helping visitors discover the delights of the region. Cheeses, delicatessen, tripoux, beers, wines and aperitifs, including the famous Gentian, and sweet pleasures: fruit jellies, honeys, jams... Everything has been tested before being selected. On the website, promotions are frequently offered: a good plan to discover the multitude of products.

Created in 2015, this 70 m² store today brings together the fruits of the labor of some thirty producers from Livradois-Forez and the surrounding area. The variety of its stalls makes Le Local a veritable mini-market, with the advantage of bringing together local products for direct sale: cheeses and vegetables, eggs, dairy products, meat and fish, honeys, jams, spirits... Some of them are organically grown, and all follow a charter ensuring good practice and transparency. Exhibitions, workshops and tastings are organized on a regular basis.

In this no-frills shop, dedicated to local produce, you will find something to delight your taste buds with exclusively regional products: beers and lemonade from the Sancy, traditional aperitifs and digestives (hypocras, verbena, Avèze, Salers, gentian...), syrups, Salers meat sausages, pâtés, tripoux (a kind of pork pie), spreads, Vichy© pastilles, biscuits, chocolates, fruit jellies... From the aperitif to the dessert, everything is 100% Auvergne, with a great emphasis on the region's cheeses. What if you became a locavore during your stay in the Sancy?

From flavored aperitif (gentian, chestnut, verbena...) to sweets (crunchy, fruit jellies...), you will discover the flavors of hams, aligots, tripoux, pottage and cheeses from Auvergne (the 5 farm PDO: saint-nectaire, cantal, salers, bleu d'Auvergne, fourme d'Ambert). You will find the products of more than fifty producers. You can also enjoy these products at the Baladins, the restaurant located just opposite, run by Laetitia and Julien. The house organizes tastings for groups and makes "musettes garnies".

On the second floor of a blond stone house typical of Montpeyroux, you'll find a multi-faceted place. It's both a delicatessen with typical Auvergne products: local beer, jams, honey, fruit jellies, walnut oil, etc., and a brocante-deco store featuring artists' works. Extend your visit with an Italian ice cream or a platter of Auvergne cheeses and charcuterie on the terrace: it offers a magnificent view of the church and the Val d'Allier.

Since 1950, ancestral know-how has been passed down through the generations. The only secret: homemade! Sausage and ham are matured in the ashes. The cured meats also catch the eye and the nose. The great classics of pure pork, donkey and duck mingle with blue cheese, blueberries and hazelnuts. The house also dons the catering apron. On the butcher's side, Auvergne remains at the heart of the establishment's work. Creamery products, Auvergne wines, a delicatessen and a bread depot complete the Auvergne-colored offer.

A grocery store, restaurant and bar in one: a concept in its own right! Delicatessen, meats, cheeses, wines, beers, coffees, herbal teas, spices: the products finely chosen by Clara come from about sixty local producers. Looking for inspiration? Trust her and let yourself be tempted by a basket already composed. The welcome is warm and the advice is really precious. It is possible to order on the website, to be delivered or to take advantage of the pedestrian drive. If you feel like it, stay and eat on the spot or take your meal with you.

Step into this old-fashioned store and discover the wealth of quality Auvergne gastronomy. Auvergne PDO cheeses such as buffalo tomme, goat's cheese and gaperon are all on offer. Charcuterie products come from Pallut and Limoujoux. The stalls also offer a range of artisanal products: jam, honey, soup, terrines... A meal without a drink is not a meal without a drink, so a selection of Auvergne wines, beers, liqueurs, fruit juices and lemonades is on offer.
