The best grocery stores Orne

This is a winery whose reputation has spread far beyond the borders of Argentan! A true mastermind behind this fine establishment, Marc Pottier makes it a point of honour to meet producers of reasoned, natural or biodynamic wines. Here, we share, exchange, make wonderful discoveries and feel good. Local products, such as calvados and other ciders and perries, are also on offer here. The sign says, "The cellar of tasteful French producers": it's true!

Whether you're a lover of sweet things or not, a visit to Maison Casati, artisan chocolatier, is well worth the detour! You'll love the uncluttered decor of this blue-fronted establishment, whose flagship product is macarons. The delicious, airy macarons are made locally. Add to this a wide range of chocolate and confectionery references, and you have one of the city's top spots for sweet treats. The welcome is warm and friendly, and the advice is just as helpful.

On one side of the tea lounge, from the other boutique, this new, charming address in the old town invites you to a gourmet break complemented by a few purchases of tea, coffee, chocolates and other fine grocery products. Every two months, Olena hosts a new exhibition: paintings, sculptures, decoration objects (Japan to honour).

While the absence of a grocery store was sorely felt in the small town of Longny-au-Perche, Barnabé's grocery store opened its doors in 2015, bringing a breath of new life to the village. This grocery store offers local and short circuit products, mostly and preferably organic: fruits and vegetables, dairy products, drinks, bread, bulk sales and hygiene products. Another grocery store was opened in 2021 in Tourouvre-au-Perche, a town that was also suffering from the absence of a food store.

You'll find this store in the heart of Argentan, close to the château. And it's an understatement to say that this delicatessen offers so many products that it's hard to make an exhaustive list! The place is run by Sébastien and Benoît, who have no shortage of ideas and pretty proposals: teas, cookies, chocolates, sweets, gift sets... there's no shortage here. The warm welcome reflects the shop's slogan: "There's no age limit to be a gourmand!" A visit is highly recommended.

This charming delicatessen located in the old town centre offers gourmets a wide range of local products. On the wooden stalls: AOC perry and calvados from Domfront, pear and apple liqueur, Norman terrines with Camembert or andouille from Vire, cookies from Lonlay-l'Abbaye. Other terroirs are also represented, with tapenades and spreads, flavoured salts, teas, jams and confectionery. Tasting days and evening events are also organised.

Founded in 2017 by Nathalie and Julien Leblanc, this company cultivates the famous oriental spice, right in the heart of the Parc Naturel Régional du Perche. Production takes place in a traditional way, and all stages of manufacture are carried out by hand (visit the saffron farm by appointment!). For those who can't make it to the site, their products can be found on their online boutique. There's also a guest house, "Une Oasis dans le Perche" with spa, where you can enjoy seasonal saffron cuisine.

In this charming boutique, ancient and modern blend together, giving the place an authentic character. Sandrine, the owner, showcases specialties from Normandy and beyond. Food lovers will find good bottles of wine, Norman aperitifs, and local products such as apple jelly, fish rillettes straight from the Channel, or onion confit with Pommeau. Tableware, home fragrances, and souvenir gifts also fill the stalls. There's plenty to choose from!
