The best grocery stores Ariège

A trailer on top of a field on the Saint Girons-Foix road? What is it? It is the den of Christelle Record, a farmer of calves under the mother's milk, always engaged in the promotion of short circuits and fervent defender of the better and local consumption. She worked hard during the confinements and now she is in charge of this trailer/grocery store. 145 producers, which shows that Ariège has a beautiful diversity and that one finds in the caravan salted and sweet groceries, fresh and organic vegetables, meat, delicatessen, cheese, eggs, drinks...

This shop offers Pyrenean, Ariegeois and artisanal products. On the shelves: delicatessen, oils of all kinds, wine cellar, delicatessen, honey, meats, cheeses, biscuits, sweets, spices...

Ongi etorri Euskal Herrira! Christophe Fontès is a lover of the Basque Country. He had regaled us in his restaurant in Ax-les-Thermes, specialized in the flavors of this country. He opened a specialized store under the roof of Mirepoix and proposes cheeses, delicatessen and emblematic dishes of the Basque Country, accompanied by wines from Irouleguy, Eguzki beers and of course the famous Espelette pepper. You can also enjoy on the large terrace, sandwiches, burgers, mixed platters of cold meats and cheeses, all made with Basque products.

A family affair. The mountain now has a home in the center of Montferrier. This genuine local shop, run by the friendly Didier and Annick, is located in the building that used to house the tourist office. Here you'll find local, high-quality, responsible artisanal products. It also serves as a bread, newspaper and parcel depot, as well as a bar. It also hosts a number of exhibitions. A great initiative to revive villages that tend to slowly fall asleep.

In the heart of the village, charming stall tastefully arranged in a chic and cosy atmosphere. You can find local organic or traditional products, in short circuits coming from the Ariège, the Aude, the Haute-Garonne or the Tarn-et-Garonne.

On-line store in "click and collect".

Cédric (originally from La Réunion) and Mélanie Payet opened this exotic grocery store 3 years ago, offering a wide selection of Creole products from the Indian Ocean, Africa and the West Indies. Peppers, fish, fruit and vegetables from islands such as Réunion and Martinique (among others) complement a selection of cosmetics. Frozen foods are also available. Some chili blends are homemade and can be found in certain Ariège shops. A catering service is available for original events and Creole cuisine.

In Engomer, it all started in 1978 with Claude Gimbrède, the grandfather, an old mill and a copper cauldron and years of passion, courage and perseverance. The basic products are local, the different milks (goats, sheep, cows) come from the farms. We will buy cheeses from Bethmale L'Estive, from the millas, ravioles with duck breast confit, but also from the bush. This cheese was moulded in a cloth by the shepherd and he offered it to the owners of the flocks he kept. A little that breathes the culinary heritage of Ariège.

Also of note are the gift boxes and artisanal products (pottery, fabrics, etc.)
