Gourmet products local specialties and wines Loire-Atlantique

This tiny market has more than one trump card in its bag. First of all, it's 100% organic. It has been in place for about ten years and brings together 15/20 producers and traders. There are of course fruit and vegetable producers, but also butchers, pork butchers, fishmongers, cow and goat cheese producers, bakers, not forgetting winemakers and other local craftsmen making jams or herbal teas... As a bonus, a sweet smell of pancakes and take-away cakes floats in the air... Then, this small market is installed on the car park of the port of Trentemoult. That is to say at the entrance of a "postcard" village which is characterised by its pretty colourful houses and its banks of the Loire. Finally because the atmosphere is good-natured. Attended by Trentemousins and onlookers, one feels good there. One comes there on foot or by bike along the river or by Navibus if one lives on the other bank. We make a stop at the Café of the nearby port to drink a small coffee. We walk along the Quai Boissard to admire Roman Signer's Pendulum, a contemporary work of art created as part of the Voyage à Nantes (2009). In short, we take the time to stroll on a Saturday morning.

It is first of all for his baguette, the famous "Bagatelle" Label rouge, that we push the door of the baker of St JO. Sylvain Pasquier, for more than 11 years, has been our very own Marcel Pagnol in this renovated village of St JO. The bakery (ex-Fournil de St Jo) has moved 20 meters away in bright and brand new spaces on rue Barbara. 150 bakers in France offer this Bagatelle recipe and Sylvain is one of them! Natural leaven, slow kneading, traceability... all the ingredients are gathered to make an exceptional traditional baguette. It is in the same spirit that Sylvain elaborates his other breads. His 2 kilo wheel cake made in the old fashioned way is a great success. Wrapped in a cloth, it keeps for a week. His buckwheat bread and his bread with olive oil are also very popular. New: organic breads have made their appearance for our happiness with the big spelt or the organic wholemeal bread. As for the pastries and cakes, they are still 100% homemade with delicious croissants to start the day. The beautiful creations vary according to the season and are tempting. The Saint-Jo (cake with three chocolates), the kouign-amann, the small soft pastries, and many other sweets to enjoy. At lunchtime, a wide choice of classic or more original sandwiches made with chicken or beef marinades will delight people passing through or from the neighborhood. Let's go for gourmet snacks in the Roseraie and Beaujoire parks, before or after a nice stroll along the banks of the Erdre river, so close. Note the warm welcome and the free parking right next to the church whose bells ring out the hour of the snack!

Fiala Marée is a beautiful fish shop located in the vibrant Thébaudières district of Saint-Herblain. Behind the black facade, we dive into a part of the ocean. Guillaume Fial and Cindy, his wife, are at the head of this pretty establishment with its chic front and beautiful black façade. The young fishmonger knows both his trade and his products, he who has made his mark for years on the markets of the West, located in the different departments of Loire-Atlantique, Morbihan and Deux-Sèvres. In the Poissonnerie Fiala, you will not find imported fish, nor fish from the farm. The freshest products come from the fish auction in Lorient and the MIN in Nantes. To us red mullet, monkfish, scallops, oysters, mussels, squid....

The Oldü bakery opened in September 2022 in the Cens district under Ludo's leadership. He was awarded second prize in 2023 for his frangipane galette in the Loire-Atlantique best galette des rois competition. And his croissants won^1st prize from the Fédération des artisans boulangers the same year. We love Petit Oldü, a traditional bread that reinvents itself every day of the week. A nod is made to the grandfather with Papi Marcel's pie. The pastries are delicious, with numerous éclairs, not forgetting chocolate-hazelnut, caramel or raspberry-mango-passion fingers. As for flour, Label Rouge is used for traditional bread, while organic flour is used for other breads. Organic wholemeal bread, Pierrot bread..., everything here is gourmet!

Nous anti-gaspi Mercoeur is the second outlet in Nantes with the one on rue Pitre Chevalier. A brand born in Rennes in 2018. Stéphane and his team of heroic grocers save 60 tons of produce from waste every month! Ugly but still good vegetables, smoked trout with a label but too small, brioche vendéenne a little overcooked, run there to save them. Everything is sold here: fresh produce, rusks, cheese, ham scraps, chocolate, household products... From unsold produce to short use-by dates, we make the most of it. Our anti-gaspi approach is good for the wallet (on average, products are sold for 20% less) and good for the planet!

Originally from Pornic, the Dagnat cheese dairy has been in business for over 20 years, including 2 years at the Talensac market. The company is also present in La Baule, Pornic and Noirmoutier.

The work of Véronique Günther-Chéreau and her daughter Aurore respects nature, and their integrated approach to viticulture tends towards an organic approach to their soils and vines, some of which are hundreds of years old. Situated at the confluence of the Sèvre and Maine rivers, the hillside terroirs bring finesse and minerality to their Muscadet. Château du Coing develops sustainable viticulture on its 75 hectares of vines, home to the Burgundy melon. It's the diversity of their terroirs, their passion and their know-how that enable them to produce a wide range of quality muscadets that surprise with their ageing potential and fruity, floral flavours. Among the wide range of quality muscadets, the 4 crus communaux Chateau-Thébaud, La Haye-Fouassière, Gorges and Monnières Saint-Fiacre, are terroir muscadets with several years' ageing on lees, the Perles fines : traditional method with delicate aromas, Audace du Coing harvested when overripe with ripe fruit aromas, muscadet aged in new oak barrels with buttery, fruity aromas. A wine to savor! It's worth noting that this dynamic duo is one of the few female vineyard managers in the Nantes region. It's the ideal place for a visit followed by a tasting, or even a reception in a prestigious setting. Come and enjoy the winegrowers' aperitifs in fine weather!

Cime is the ambitious project of Esther and Gregory. The three friends and associates chose this evocative name and the hot-air balloon that represents the brand because they intend to take you on a journey over the mountains and volcanoes whose slopes are ideal for growing coffee. This is Nantes' first artisanal specialty coffee roaster. In this pretty coffee workshop, the beans of prestigious Arabicas are selected with the utmost attention to quality, freshness and respect for producers and the environment. Sacks of green coffee occupy the back of the establishment, coming from Rwanda, Bolivia, Panama, Honduras, Ethiopia, El Salvador... thanks to the shortest possible circuits. And it's the Giesen roaster who roasts the beans in a way that's adapted to each production: the coffee beans gain in volume, lose their moisture, release their aromas... The beans are then left to rest for 24 hours to allow the gases to evaporate. This artisanal roasting process produces coffees of the highest quality, with transparent traceability from producer to cup. The coffees are sold as beans or ground to order, and are also available to catering professionals: Meraki and Arlot Cheng have already adopted them. Each coffee is accompanied by an explanatory sheet to learn more about its identity, profile and origin: for example, Finca El Encino from Honduras seduces with its milky texture and chocolate-hazelnut notes. Or Karambi from Rwanda, whose sweetness underlines its citrus notes. El Salvador's Divina Bourbon, whose natural drying process reveals notes of honey and caramel, will also surprise you. Tasting workshops are organized around the adobe Cupping Table where you can sample the coffee: first observe it, then smell it in its different forms: bean, ground, wet, before breaking it, then tasting it. Attentive to its structure, its density, its bitterness, its sweetness, its finish, we discover coffee in a new light thanks to Cime. A second address opened at 4, rue Santeuil in August 2023.

La Petite Poissonnerie offers a wide choice of products: sole, skate, gurnards, langoustines, mussels, oysters and periwinkles.

In 2017, cellar master Benoît Chaigneau founded Distiloire, an artisanal spirits producer that makes Gin 1924, Pastis Meskad and Vermouth Douce Folie from local wines. Some of the plants are organically grown and sourced locally (Val de Loire), and the alchemy occurs to create authentic spirits with a flavor far removed from that of industrial beverages. While gin is essentially made from juniper berries, coriander seeds, angelica root and chamomile, pastis features no less than twenty plants, including the essential licorice and anise, as well as Tonka bean, cardamom, Sichuan pepper, lemon balm and thorn shoots, a nod to its Vendée origins. Benoît is the only professional to produce these beverages in the department, and one of only a handful in the West. Now certified organic, the passionate cellar master won two prizes at the Concours aénéral Agricole Paris 2020: gold for Gin 1924 and silver for Pastis Meskad. The latest award: Spiced Rhum 5.5. Discover them to please yourself or others!

Richard Delanoë's father passed on his passion to his sons: to Richard, who specialised in poultry 10 years ago, and to his brother who runs the Delanoë butcher's shop next door. You will find them at the bottom of the market. The key word for this poultry specialist is education: indeed, it is not enough to sell very good products, it is especially important to explain how to cook them to bring out all their flavours. And this is what Richard Delanoë does through the recipes listed on his website. Here the rabbits are farmed and come from the Bois de Boulle farm (near La Turballe). The poultry, selected in 3 different regions (Landes, Challans, Ain) all have a Label Rouge. The pigeon in blood, the Mesquer pigeon, i.e. not bled, is honoured on the tables of the greatest restaurateurs.

The customers are numerous to admire and to taste the best of the local and national cheese production thanks to a rigorous and constant quality of its good products. This cheese producer and creamer since 34 years in Machecoul, rather top-of-the-range, manufactures butters, creams, white cheeses, yoghurts, milky desserts (chocolate mousse, rice pudding, the famous cremet nantais, the big Swiss...) and gingerbread which made its reputation. Ludovic Condroyer is the manager of the Talensac shop. He and his team treat no less than 100,000 customers per year. Very demanding on the quality of their products, they regularly visit producers from other regions. Here, artisanal farmhouse cheeses take pride of place, as well as local producers: raw milk cheeses, Machecoulais, Pont d'Yeu, Grands Causses, Livarot and many other appellations for all tastes and budgets.

Opposite the church in the Saint-Félix district, right next to the famous little bakery, Le Petit Lieu is a new fishmonger's shop. Pierre welcomes us with a smile, accompanied by Paul for a fresh duo. We discover the beautiful stalls glistening with the day's catch of fish and shellfish from the coasts of Brittany, La Turballe, Le Croisic and the Vendée (Saint-Gilles and Sables-d'Olonne). A fish tank where children can peer through the glass at the movements of crabs, spider crabs or Breton lobsters (depending on arrivals) is always a hit! An outside sign announces the "catch of the day", with line-caught sea bass, hake, meagre or line-caught whiting that day. In short, a traditional catch that respects the seabed: a quality, local catch. Mackerel, monkfish, sardines and octopus rest on their ice... Pierre and Paul raise the fillets for you, and also transform the fish in a catering style, with plenty of ideas for aperitifs (fish terrine, haddock fillet, acras, fish bread) and a bottle of wine to take away. At the end of each week, you'll leave with the dishes of the moment: fish and chips or blanquette de la mer, for example. Oysters, lobsters, shrimps, everything reminds us of the open sea.

Patrick's passion for chocolate, aided by Macha, also offers ninety different tablets from top-of-the-range brands: melt for Noir écorces d'orange from Normandy chocolate-maker Michel Cluizel, or for Apotequil from Maison Bonnat in Voiron, or for Lait et noisettes du Piémont from Italian manufacturer Venchi. When it comes to travel cakes, the Fondant baulois is the benchmark, with its delicious chocolate speciality and salted butter caramel note. It's also available in chocolate mint, choco orange, choco coffee and even gluten-free with a raspberry heart. Other travel cakes include Gâteau nantais, an almond sponge covered with a subtle rum glaze. Accompany these sweet treats with quality hot drinks like Compagnie and Co tea or freshly-ground coffee. And enjoy! And now Patrick has his own website, so take a look and be warned, it's all gourmet!
