Located in the center of Saint-Hippolyte-du-Fort, this store offers a superb range of products from this region that oscillates between plains and mountains, between thyme and chestnuts. "Entre Thym et Châtaigne" is a direct sales outlet where some twenty producers come together to sell their produce directly to consumers. Each of them takes it in turns to run the store, and part of the money raised goes into an emergency fund in case one of the members' business is in danger.

These beekeepers practice transhumance over lavender fields, chestnut and acacia forests, garrigues and causses, offering a wide range of locally-produced organic honeys. Thirteen varieties of honey and a wide range of products are on offer: honey gingerbread, mead, honey nougat, honey sweets, honey vinegar, propolis, beeswax... The honey house also boasts a large production of royal jelly.

Like any rare and quality product, Claire Thomassot's oil is worth it. You will need to go through the small roads of the Gard to arrive in the hamlet of Montèze. When the tar becomes earth and pebbles, you finally reach your goal. Hidden in a pine forest, Clare's mas could be a vision of paradise. The oil from the mill that occupies the ground floor is in any case a genuine nectar of the gods. This farmer's daughter is alone in extracting olive oil (even though the entire village takes part in the harvest), which is in 5 vintages: the PDO of Nîmes, Aglandau, Bouteillan, La and Sauzen (a local variety from centuries-old trees). But to have the chance to taste these oils that have won the 2012 award of excellence from the general agricultural competition in Paris, you will have to hurry: production runs within a few weeks! Clearly, Claire Thomassot's oil is really worth it.

Sanilhac is a charming village with a secret boot: a baker, Antoine, who loves his profession above all, who has almost forgotten knowledge, conviviality and a rare service. It is a bakery, as well as a pastry, a tea salon, a glacier, a small restoration and the rental of atvs and VTC. It occupies a long building completely renovated in front of the town hall square. The bright space has kept its beautiful stone stones and ceiling beams, several rooms and a large terrace. The specialty is the hand-shaped sanilhacoise wand in stone crushed rye flour. He participated with 5 other bakers in the Duchy of Uzès in the elaboration of the figatine, brioche to olive oil with candied figs and éclats of nougatine. The custard is the Tropézienne. By far, we are short for this brioche to the orange flower and to the sweet cream and parfumée custard. Passionate about his craft, Antoine will tell you about sacristains, fougasses, laminated, gâteaux cakes raspberry, apples cooked in the oven, apricot. It is inexhaustible on this issue.

If you don't have the time to explore the vineyards of the Rhône Valley, make a detour to this wine fair where François Cas, a sommelier by trade and a knowledgeable wine merchant who provides fine local cuisine, officiates. He has nurtured his passion and experience with starred chefs in France and elsewhere as far away as Uruguay and Canada. You can trust him, he knows what he sells and knows the estates and most of the winegrowers whose bottles fill his shop. Spend a Friday late afternoon there, you can extend it with the Apéro-Comptoir.

This is the best cheese factory in the Halles, in Nîmes. Here you can find a rigorous selection among the Land of France. Especially during the year-end celebrations, Claude offers a few pearls, such as the Brie of Melun or a small châblis, with fine cheese in white wine. The offer is impeccable and the two friendly bosses are ready to make a snack and a few promotions to make a cheese discover. Every Sunday, a cheese is in tasting in front of shopping and after a few visits, Nadine identifies your tastes and knows how to advise you in a foolproof way!

This bakery has its secret, its secret boot: organic bread, tradition, and an offer of delicious breads. From the bread farm to the crown, from adjacent to chestnut bread, from the great complete to the flax bread or to the quinoa, the choice is so wide, the quality so serious, that the greedy ones are always annoyed. Whole or sliced, the breads all envy. At the end of the service, you may be offered a loaf of bread so that you don't get lost. A more friendly and friendly gesture as the reception at Panissain is always warm and caring. Even when the queue is close to kilometers…

Le Clos, Épisode cévenol, Free Style... Anyone staying in the Cèze valley will come across one of their productions (IGP Cévennes), which feature passionately crafted wines, a selection of natural wines, a prestige series and must-haves. Take a stroll through the 3 km vineyard to learn all about the estate. The wine bar and restaurant are open every evening in summer, and tapas evenings, wine and food pairings and concerts are regularly scheduled. An excellent, high-quality yet relaxed address.

Here beats the heart of the city, every morning and every day of the week. In Nîmes, these halls were built in 1884 and given a new look by Jean-Michel Wilmotte, architect, town planner and designer. What are we looking for here? In addition to conviviality and relationships, there are fresh produce, labelled Militants du goût or AOC gardoise, seasonal fruit and vegetables, Aubrac meats, fish from the morning fish market, Cévennes cheeses, bread and desserts. Without forgetting exotic, organic or trendy products. These halls are a must!

Gallinacée is very pleased to offer you delicious fatty livers, high quality duck and poultry, kid, game, rabbit, fresh eggs and cooking products, which you will be telling us about news. We have tasted roasts fowl - to fall on the ground! -the roasts of breasts filled - to damn a saint! and we re-examine it. Frankly, try Le Gallinacée is to adopt it. Of course, the formula makes a bit of a cliché, but if everything is not perfect (we are not always fans of sausages for example and prices can be a little high), most products are good, even excellent and archi-fresh. A very good address to the Halles, which only serves AOC meat, Red Label or Organic label.

The Planiols brothers are producers of organic fruits and vegetables that they offer to the customers of Les Halles de Nîmes on their discreet outlet at the Allée driveway. It's a bit of a., but it's a little bit., but it's a little bit eccentric. On weekends, you often need to be patient to serve: stalls are overflowing with world! It should be said that the kindness of those who serve and the freshness of the products are particularly valuable. Next to the early ones, you will also find on the spot what you care in basic products - always organic - of the genus sugar, wine, flour, jars of canned vegetables, cereals… Appreciable, especially as prices for bio are quite reasonable.

Pierre Jauffret comes from several generations of winegrowers who have been working since 1856. In 2000, Château Terre Forte resolutely turned towards the future by practicing biodynamic viticulture. The twenty-hectare estate has several terroirs, mainly clay-limestone with deep, rounded pebbles. We like the Rouge, which has a "good picolability index", and for a biodynamic wine, it's well worth the detour in terms of quality/price. Don't forget to allow time for tasting.

The vine grows on the sand! Sand wines have been known and appreciated since the 14th century. This terroir produces an original wine with a subtle aroma in which the image of the sandy coast on which it was made is reflected, a barrier coastline that runs along the Gulf of Lion between Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer and Cap d'Agde. The siliceous sands and limestone that make up the soil and the marine micro-climate constitute a natural environment, unique in France.

Located on a ring road in Villeneuve-lès-Avignon, this winery opened its doors in 2017. Inside, you'll find over 900 references of wines from small producers and cooperative cellars, grands crus, champagnes and a large section dedicated to spirits and beers. All budgets are catered for, and there's plenty of advice on what to buy if you're not a wine connoisseur. The cellar also hosts vernissages, tasting evenings and wine gatherings. An address for those who love good wines and want to discover new ones.

One of the best cheese dairies in Nîmes! Claude and Nadine have focused on diversity, originality and quality. You'll find a rigorous selection from the terroirs of our regions (Gard, Aveyron, Lozère). The house specialty? Untraceable cheeses such as old Comté, Salers and other foreign cheeses. What's more, the prices are attractive and the owners very friendly. They have a stand at local markets from Thursday to Sunday.

The Chartreuse oil mill is one of the oldest in France still in operation. It was created in 1358 by the Carthusian order, and in 2009 its buildings were listed as historical heritage. The mill was taken over in 2008 by the Bronzini family. It is Philippe, master miller passionate about his job, who is in charge of crushing the olives to produce 3 oils: the Cuvée des Chartreux, the Cuvée Diamant Noir Provence and the Cuvée à l'Ancienne.

Soccer leads to everything, even to the vineyard. In the field, Gilles Leclerc, a former ASSE defender (1998-2000) and - for those specialists who are interested - one of the architects of the Greens' rise to D1 in 1999. As the owner of the family wine estate in Saint-Victor-la-Coste, a picturesque village in the Gard between Nîmes and Avignon, the sporty entrepreneur manages his 30 hectares of vines, which are planted with Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre and Carignan. The young winegrower fell in love with the Rhône region, its peaceful hillsides, its rocky, mineral soil, its scents of garrigue. His wines? Côtes du Rhône, of course, which he bottles himself. His fifth cuvée, he named it "La Cuvée Verte" in remembrance of his former colleagues of the "Sainté" certainly, but also in reference to the reasoned culture he practises on an estate where two thirds of the grapes are still harvested by hand.

With a wealth of experience working with some of the world's top names in gastronomy, including the Michelin-starred Le Vieux Castillon in Castillon-du-Gard and 16 years at the renowned Noailles patisserie in Nîmes, Alexandre Boudry sublimates flavors with his homemade creations, evolving with the seasons. His favorite is the Marguerisienne, a perfect marriage of delicate orange blossom brioche, cream and smooth vanilla chantilly, and delicious cakes in a variety of flavors.

Les Croquants Villaret have long built the excellent reputation of this traditional Nîmes company, established in 1775. A family specialty that remains a dessert of choice! Speciality breads, from wholemeal pavé to crisp white bread and delicious sandwich loaves, gourmet viennoiseries and mouth-watering pastries attract many locals who know what's good! And as soon as the first rays of sunshine make their appearance, don't miss a taste of the artisanal ice creams to be enjoyed in the tearoom.

The latter in nîmois hypermarchés has become imperative.

The gallery is already a good reason to go there. New shops in the Gardoise capital, such as H (Tel.) m or Planet Saturn, shops in the coup, such as Jeans Center, an original chocolate maker and a variety of restaurants, including the Casino cafeteria that has always had many fans. In short, the gallery is worth a detour. On the large surface, Casino made very strong, with its curved shelving, which gives the feeling not to see the crowd but also has the disadvantage of losing when one is pressed, high quality products, fresh and varied in all areas of modern consumption. We understand why the parking lot is often saturated despite its sheer size! All the more so, the shopping area expanded with the opening of the Square Square Shopping Centre and its signs such as Casa, Toy Club, like the same, Cultura…

You don't dream, the address is in Nîmes, but in Montpellier you can order online Greek and Cretan olive oils, wines you won't find anywhere else. Melpas multiplied its offer of selected products from small producers and developed the concept of fine grocery with a bio tone. In addition to its excellent olive oils, you can order dismiss (kalamata, thrumboéléa, konservolia, amfissa…) as well as a selection of regional wines from indigenous varieties (naoussa, néméa, rapsani…). Melpas offers you a Cretan box with a bottle of fresh olive oil and the Oregano of the mountains of Crete.

With its tradition of gastronomy on Nîmes, Mme couldn't miss the opportunity to have a walk in downtown. This is done with this new, very contemporary space of 300 m 2… open to Les Halles!

Breads of all kinds! Soft breads, rustic breads, holiday breads, savoury and sweet tarts and puff pastries, sandwiches, evening cakes, desserts, iced vacherins, macaroons, pastries (including a praline brioche so tasty that you'll have to make a detour).

Most of the 400 hectares of vines have been organically farmed since 2002. The great diversity of the terroir, which winds its way between the rocks of Anduze, the Cévennes and the Gardon, has produced wines of the highest quality: IGP Cévennes, IGP Pays d'Oc and AOP Duché d'Uzès.

Everything is organic at this winery, whose origins date back to the 12th century. The domaine works with traditional grape varieties: Syrah, Grenache Noir and Carignan for the reds, and Roussanne and Viognier for a barrel-aged white of truly exceptional character. Chardonnay, Muscat, Merlot and Cabernet are also added to the list of grape varieties used to make vins de pays and vins de table. An AOC de Nîmes olive oil completes a house offer that doesn't equate organic with high prices. The estate also produces its own cereals to make flour.

On 12 hectares, Lydie and Jean-Charles Laroche cultivate olive art and produce their oil thanks to a mixture of centuries-old olive trees inherited from previous generations and young shoots planted twenty years ago. Since 2008, the couple has acquired a press and is carrying out the press itself, reducing the time between harvest and pressing to a maximum. By marrying picholine, lucca and arbequine, their oil, ranging from green to ripe fruity, develops notes of almonds, flower of genêt and d, while having a low ardence.
