The best regional grocery stores Lozère

It's amazing what you can do with chestnuts! Bread, croissants, tarts, crunchy, gingerbread, cookies, cakes, jams... all without preservatives or colouring. In this chestnut paradise, Valérie and Damien (former Alsatian chocolatiers) also offer other Cévennes products (liqueurs, preserves... always made with chestnuts). They have created an original range of sweet and savoury biscuits as well as a speciality, the chestnut tart.

Located in a charming village in the middle of nowhere, the Aulas family farm raises and processes ducks and ostriches. The shop, located below the house, is worth a visit: a long vaulted room where boxes of pâtés, rillettes, stuffed necks, foies gras and stuffed aiguillettes, dried duck breast or duck sausages, but also ostrich pâtés and cooked dishes are displayed. The welcome is lovely and you can fill your basket with great pleasure. The open days in the summer are very popular. You get to know the ostriches and llamas.

Guillaume Trioulier set up on the farm almost 15 years ago, continuing a family history that began 250 years ago, and raises deer and pigs. He makes homemade pâtés, sausages, rillettes, ready-cooked meals and fresh cuts from the animals he raises, without corn or GMOs. A true local activist, he sells direct and is present at the Langogne market every Saturday morning in front of the town hall.

This grocery store offers local products from short circuits. Bread, cheeses, cold cuts, fruit juices and other yogurts, honeys and beers are waiting for you here. But this place is also a restaurant with a terrace, games and a library to spend a relaxing moment. We propose you tapas made exclusively from the products of the grocery store, a good way to taste before buying! A third zero waste space offers bulk and organic food.

It is well known that good recipes are passed down from generation to generation. So once you've exhausted the beauties of the city centre, push the door of this good house: stuffed leg (the house specialty, for decades), dry sausage, fricandeau and dry ham compete for your favours. As for the natural pork liver pâté, it is unanimously appreciated. The artisan pork butcher has been awarded several times at the Lozère gourmande contest for his dry cured ham. Appetizing preserves are also proposed. To be discovered!
