Gourmet products local specialties and wines Sarthe

Behind the new Leclerc Drive, or Hyperburo, the new address for exotic and Asian products in Le Mans is here. At attractive prices (lower than supermarket prices). Chillies, bean sprouts, flours, teas, cookies, drinks, rice, sauces, nori leaves and many other products are available on the shelves. But the most impressive is the frozen food section, with lots of fish, but also desserts, smoked meat, samousas and Reunion corks. The products come mainly from Asia, but also from Africa and the West Indies. The sales area is around 300^m2, enough to add a touch of the exotic to your dishes so that your guests won't be able to resist, and to whom you'll be happy to pass on the address. The young owner Xin Lin is very friendly and it's not uncommon to hear Ni hao, which undeniably adds to the exoticism of this store. And if the northern zone doesn't tempt you, there's the same in the city center!

Charcuterie, yes, but not any. It's a bit of a road, but you can find out that Laurent Berthier, his charcuterie, her medalists, and her very original caterer dishes at Le Mans on the markets are all about. Saturday on a tiny market in the Ardriers, and on Sunday at the Jacobins. Like this, you will enjoy also your vegetable races, cheeses…

Guillaume, of Zairean origin, welcomes you with kindness and simplicity to his cosmopolitan store. Made up of two rooms, the second, at the back, houses the African grocery store. Don't be fooled by its modest size, there are plenty of products for concocting exotic dishes. It's a godsend to be able to stock up on cassava, yams, plantains, attiéké (cassava semolina) and dried fish right in the center of town. You can also stock up on rice (perfumed, long, broken once or broken twice), frozen fish and meat, peanut and cocoa spreads, African beer (Flag) and sodas, spices... In the first room, you'll find DVDs and hairdressing accessories (highlights, weaving, hair care products, relaxers, hairpieces...). Not sure what to choose? Don't worry, we'll be happy to advise you. Some people also come here with friends to chat and enjoy local video clips. Finally, for Bollywood fans, this friendly boutique has a vast selection of Indian films.

A rural discovery near Brûlon. Martine and Pierre Jardin welcome you to their farm, where you can discover their products under the Délices de Beauregard banner. These farmers of Limousin cattle and Loué poultry offer direct sales of boxes of Limousin beef and udder-fed veal, verrines, ready-made meals and jams. Les Délices de Beauregard products can also be found at other sales outlets, but it's always nicer to be on the farm.

In 2014, Pierre Raimbault, aka Pedro, moved into the premises recently vacated by the legendary Bulle bookshop. In the heart of the Plantagenet town, the stone vaults no longer house comic books, but precious bottles of all origins. More than just a wine cellar, this address has already become a must for lovers of fine bottles. The choice is certainly not plethoric, but it's pretty darn sharp. Quality rather than quantity. Pedro knows the history of each cuvée inside out, and will guide you to the right bottle for the meal or aperitif ahead. Great wines and friends' wines, a fine selection of Loire and even Sarthe crus (Ah! Jasnières des Maisons Rouges)! Hand-picked spirits from France and around the world await the connoisseur, not far from some thirty-five different craft beers. Tasting evenings are held throughout the week, by reservation only.

They can also be purchased in delicatessens and organic stores, and direct from the Le Mans workshop.

Go around the town hall and down this little street. Denis Leroux's boutique is well worth a visit, not only for his warm welcome, but also for the many local products on display. You'll find a whole range of products from the Sarthe region, including charcuterie and confectionery such as pierre de Pontlieue, as well as products from outside the Sarthe. You'll find foies gras as well as tapenades from the South-East or fish terrines from Sologne... We appreciate the care he takes in selecting the products he offers. But you might also be tempted by the idea of putting together a gourmet parcel... to suit your taste or curiosity. He's also working on exclusives like Casteloir, an aperitif made with Coteaux du Loir wines and fruit cream. Red, rosé or white, to be enjoyed in moderation. We liked the Esprit de Casteloir jams, also in white, red or rosé, which retain the taste of the wine. There are also rillettes de canard au jasnières and rillettes de campagne au jasnières... a welcome change from the traditional. After a visit to his store, you're sure to find a souvenir or two to take home for yourself or a friend.

If only it stopped at pastries... Well, it doesn't. It also sells handmade chocolates and bulk chocolate (with hazelnuts too...).
