The best regional grocery stores Seine-Maritime

Uncompromising goodwill, a genuine passion for regional and farm products, and a smiling welcome - these are the assets of this little gourmet boutique, which is sure to delight you right in the heart of downtown. You'll find a wide selection of ciders, Norman beers, cheeses, fruit and vegetables, cookies, jams, wines and charcuterie. And don't forget the Calvados, two of which have been voted the best Calvados in the world! The whole of Normandy can be tasted here, with no need to worry about short excursions to other regions just as rich in flavours.

For ten years, Marie-France and Franck Leroy have been happy to make tourists and residents happy with their fine grocery store on the Seine. Renowned for the quality of its wines, the couple in the sense of hospitality and smile always present, also offers delicious cheeses as well as selection of the best Norman products, to make fun or to make fun! Regional products are proudly exposed, and can be cracked and cramped.

In the heart of the Parc naturel régional des boucles de la Seine normande, Gérard Lenormand is known as the biggest cider producer in the region. On his farm, he sells all the - very good - products derived from apples: pommeau jams, ice cider, cider brandy, Normandy aperitif, vinegar and, of course, calvados. His products have been widely rewarded, notably with a gold medal at the 2015 Paris Agricultural Competition for semi-dry cider. Gérard Lenormand is also present at the Jumièges market.

Pedagogy, smile, quality and taste are what you will find at the Laitière du Wuy. The greedy gourmets of local flavors will only have the convenience of choosing to fill their shopping cart. Honey, milk, butter, cream or meat, here, everything is produced on the farm, either by the owners, Véronique and Yves Lefebvre, or by the neighboring farmers. The couple also proposes the whole year of farm visits to discover how dairy cows and poultry are raised.

If you wish to bring back some typical products from your stay in Normandy, make a detour to this gourmet shop which offers filled baskets, honeys and jams, caramels and other sweets, alcohols, cakes and other Normandy local products, traditional ciders, pommeaux and calvados, homemade beer, as well as ice cider, a delicious apple liqueur. The neighbouring region, Brittany, is also represented in the shop and you can leave with kouign amann, Breton pancakes, pure butter, or fish soup... don't be jealous. Enough to bring back a lot of souvenirs of your visit!

A new temple of flavours arrived last October at Le Havre on the Coty sector. A wide range of products, including an impressive amount of hairy vinegar, with the famous and rare Regio Emilia, the unique Frères tea range in Le Havre. Honey is also a place of choice with no less than 47 different varieties from all over the world like litchi honey. Even more curious, honey or borage honey. Such a choice makes this establishment an indispensable place for culinary curiosities. Artisanal beers, nougats to the old, know, blend of spices for rum will complement this non-exhaustive list.

All the flavours of the midi appear to have come to an appointment in this small boutique of rue Louis-Philippe, dedicated to olives and their derivatives: great olive groves - more than recorded - spices, mustards, spreading, but also cosmetics. There are also Italian products and crockery. Free tasting. The whole will certainly help to find greedy and original gift ideas - greedy baskets - full of sun!

Of course, you need to climb up to Veules-les-Roses to find them. But they are the only ones produced across the department!

About thirty products are presented, all made from farm milk. Among them, Le Petit Havrais cheese, made from raw milk moulded with a ladle. Also pork and farm beef.

You have trouble finding a table or you want to enjoy the sun in the shade of the cliffs? La Rose des Vents has the solution!

Enjoy a tasty Norman cuisine based on fresh and local products without having to worry about reserving a place in the restaurant. Moreover, the store presents many regional dishes: terrines, cookies, jams, honeys, Isigny caramels, gift baskets, tableware, ciders, calvados...
