The best specialty grocery stores Orne

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.

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.
