Delicious!

There is also a store on site. A precious address for the amateurs of the true brie of Meaux farm, brie of Melun farm, black brie, coulommiers, small hearts with old, triple-cream..

The Hamette family have been beekeepers for 5 generations. As in the early 20th^century , honey is still sold at the market in Fontainebleau and Melun. Although the Hamettes once also grew vegetables, in the 70s they gave up everything to devote themselves exclusively to bees. Since then, their passion and know-how have remained unchanged. With nearly 1,000 beehives spread across the Yonne, Loiret and Seine-et-Marne regions, the family harvests a variety of honeys, which they sell (acacia, alfalfa...) along with other products: gingerbread, candies..

The neo-pâtissière is also attentive to ethical specifications, proposing creations with no added oils, preservatives or artificial flavours.
