France's leading franchised network of local wine shops, with over 150 franchisees, Cavavin was founded in 1985 by Michel Bourel in La Baule, France, with the opening of a first wine cellar and the creation of a partnership with other wine shops, before becoming a franchisee in 1996. There are now two of the group's wine shops in the greater Paris area, one in Le Mans and another in Arnage. In Le Mans, Emmanuel Caillaud welcomes you and advises you on your choice from a range of wines, champagnes and spirits (900 references). Tastings, gift ideas, chilled bottles, bag-in-box...

All ingredients are assembled for the production of a production all that is most natural. Marc Lhommeau has cultivated his orchard since 1993 on a land known since the 1930 s. The Domaine is two hectares of certified organic apple trees since 2012 and eight varieties of apples that will be transformed into a acidulous crude cider, "L'Dissenters" or in a round semi-dry and sweet-dry beverage "Le Généreux". " A love of apples ", for apple juice, will also delight the palate on other occasions (for example breakfast). Marc Lhommeau is of these cidriculteurs who work the apple like other grapes. A small visit will give you the opportunity to make you discover his passion. For a moment, he has been campaigning within the Association for the Promotion of Cidricole Production in Maine (APPCM), which values the brand "Loire Cider" and connects producers of the various tributaries of the river. A common impetus to improve the quality of the Loire cider, to make them known and to have their Thalys recognised, in order to share, above all, the love of the work well done where arboriculture and oenology also have a say.

Here you'll find wine for every day and every special occasion, in every color and from every source... or almost. Bordeaux, burgundy, champagnes, beaujolais, cognac, port, creams and liqueurs, armagnac, whiskies, rums... Prices range from the very affordable to the mind-boggling: oenologists, run! Also a wide range of foreign spirits (ouzo, raki, sake or vodkas) and wines (New Zealand, Chile, Hungary, Algeria).

Just looking at the queue, which sometimes stretches out into the street, you know you're in the best butcher's shop in town. This is a real butcher's shop, where the meat is de-veined before being weighed! Advice is given on how best to prepare and cook the meat. The charcuterie is made from Mayenne pork. Grandma's rillettes, with chunks, are a big hit... The many cooked dishes are also very appetizing: brandade de morue, moussaka, gratins, quiches, pizzas... On Saturday lunchtimes, a special dish is announced: make your reservation! It's time to check out, but take a good look around: there's still a small delicatessen corner (mainly tinned vegetables), as well as honey and gingerbread.

The Pontlieue market is undoubtedly the city's most popular. With over 150 traders on Sundays, it's hard to get around, let alone park. A traffic lane is often requisitioned to cope with the flood of strollers. On Wednesdays, it's a little easier to breathe, with around 30 merchants. Many are small producers (market gardeners, cheesemakers, bakers, etc.) from the rural areas around Le Mans. We tread water, but eventually make some progress... a little. The center of the market is reserved for clothing vendors, where fashions are misused to undercut prices. This lively market often ends with a drink in one of the nearby cafés. Practical: the Durand-Vaillant tramway station is at the entrance to the market.

Alain Gambier and his wife propose the sale and tasting of apple and cider juice, as well as vinegar. Every cider has its own taste. Don't hesitate to taste theirs. The land has taste! The Ferme farm is part of the "Welcome to the Farm" network. These ducks operators will therefore be pleased to receive you and make you discover their profession. They also produce their cereals and their chickens, the Rental label. 

On the way to the visit. You have to go half way (equal treatment for both North and South access) from the gallery to pass the electronic portals to the hyper. Unless you have a question? Stop at the welcome point, in this case, and don't forget to take a ticket to claim your turn, it just starts. Rather wait, on the way. We start with telephony and we continue with laptops, if you drive PC. We're moving in the huge rays, and you discover "Auchan mind." A little is lost between all the offers: self-discount for tight budgets (as well as responsible discount), the Mmm line! for the greedy, organic products AB, the strokes of the brand, not to mention the ticketing and travel service… It is still convenient to find everything in the same place.

With 17 stores in France, family Mary shows that honey and its benefits remain a trend. " Feeling good thanks to the trésor of bees ", this is an idea and a gold slogan. Family Mary has been specialized in organic honey and its derivatives since 1921. Know-how that you can enjoy depending on what you want to achieve: relaxation, immunity and beauty. Whether you choose an edible product or not, it will delight you with its originality or its nutritious, benevolent and stimulating contribution. By entering the store, don't trust your small size; it is full of products to panic a bee: From royal jelly, infusions, pollen, gingerbread, but also honey shampoos, products to help digestion, honey mustard, freeze to relax and regenerate painful joints… You don't hesitate to taste a honey. Counsel: test the Caramiel… a true caramel and honey delight.

Another franchise chain in the wine distribution sector. This one also specializes in beers. Myriam and her team welcome you to this V and B in Allonnes. For those who don't yet know, "V and B" stands for "Vins et Bières", and its establishments are generally located in business parks on the outskirts of large and medium-sized towns all over France. While the welcome and advice are pleasant and professional, and there's plenty of entertainment on offer, we miss the convivial atmosphere of city-center bars. Fortunately, one doesn't exclude the other!

An out-of-the-way store with a reputation that knows no local boundaries. Here, you can be sure of fresh fish, shellfish and crustaceans. For restaurateurs, wholesale is also assured. The address is so well known that you may find yourself queuing once to be served, and a second time to pay at the counter (especially on weekends). It's a time investment you'll be rewarded for, firstly by watching the staff prepare a fish at breakneck speed, and secondly by eating your seafood - and that's what it's all about. During the festive season, the seafood platters (composed or to be composed) attract even more people, and are the best in town. You'll also find fresh vegetables and, above all, organic lemons and white wine. Last but not least, we also sell our products at 8 markets in Mance: on Fridays at Place Washington, on Saturdays at Cité des Pins and on Sundays at Jacobins and Pontlieue.

It's a long storefront with four arches, where customers come and go at all hours, either on the bakery side or the sandwich side. This Panetière is, in fact, divided into two parts: one for a quick stop-off to buy a baguette for lunch or a chocolate pastry for a snack, and the other for a quick sandwich and a lunch menu with a drink and dessert. An informal and practical address, a stone's throw from the tramway station and Les Cinéastes art cinema.

The clientele is and causes: the large bakery all decorated with a strategic place in the middle of the breweries, and especially right in front of Gare Nord. But especially bread, crispy, is made and cooked on-site; The pastries are divine and the little sweets and creams to bite on the thumb between noon and two are worth the detour. And if you're thirsty, you're also selling fresh drinks. A very good address.

Specialized in food supplements and organic cosmetics, this La Vie Claire shop also offers everything you need to take care of your body and your health. You will of course find organic fruits and vegetables, a grocery corner, but it is in the natural health and beauty departments that you are likely to spend the most time. The good health of your body is not only explained by the contents of your plates, it is the good place and the good time to think of coating you with cosmetics, a useful trade.

This little rue du Cornet has a lot of fun spots: The Wine Bar, we come to offer wine, and above all enjoy the knowledge of the excellent professional who keeps the place, and finally to sit around barrels, drink a drink or eat a tasty piece. You have a huge panel of wines to discover: from the Pays de la Loire, but not only from Burgundy wine and from Languedoc… Once a year, enjoy the early offer, you will make sacred savings. For those who are looking for oenology courses, it is also the threshold of the Wine Bar that must be crossed, since regularly (at least once a month) theme evenings are organized, during which one can discover wines, taste them, all being animated by outside people whose job it is. Excellent moments in perspective!

You know nothing about wine, have no idea what to pair with a leg of lamb or what to serve as an aperitif. Let the specialists at chez Nicolas, a national brand specializing in wines and spirits, guide you. If you're a wine connoisseur, you can also turn to this brand to find a few attractively priced bottles for your guests. In either case, the professionalism of the Nicolas team will help you.

Right in the center of town, a traditional delicatessen par excellence. L'Épicerie Buissonnière prides itself on selling the best of the French gastronomic tradition, as well as Italian, Greek, English and Spanish products: Kusmea Tea, gingerbread, calissons, terrines, wine, nougat, fruit jellies, jams, spices, fruit juices... and a few organic products. All are traditional and respect a certain art of living. Depending on the season or time of year, you'll find certain products: fresh truffles, Alsatian pretzels, Basque cakes, fresh foie gras, and so on. A little further down the store, there's a small display case with a few goodies for you to sample. And if you're on the lookout, there's sometimes a good bottle of liqueur right next to it. What's more, the welcome is excellent. An address to keep if you want to stock up on good products.

A Belgian company that makes pralines and other chocolate sweets, Léonidas is well established in Europe and around the world. The company was founded in 1913 by Léonidas Kestekides. One million pralines are produced every day in the two Brussels factories. In 2021, the Main Street shopping center saw the opening of a Léonidas boutique combining a chocolate shop, café and tea room. The brand was already present in La Chapelle-Saint-Aubin with a chocolate shop-café-tea room, offering chocolates, iced mochis, mugs and accessories.

Historically, this little shop competed for a long time with its rival Gasnier, located closer to Pontlieue's «moon» (that is, the place). However, she continues to sell the best ham in the neighborhood. And the pizzas and laminated on the windows compete with the beautiful charcuterie and the good blocks on your left. To complete your meal at the last minute, some cans are also offered. No big surprise, therefore, coming to buy here: It's traditional charcuterie, with very good products.

Almost an institution in the Pontlieue district. If you can get past an ostentatiously commercial welcome, this plush boutique deserves it. Prepared dishes don't age in the window, and pâtés and andouilles don't dry out on their slices. People come here for the classic, well-crafted recipes (all charcuterie is made from free-range pigs), but you won't find any pâté with trumpets of death or Marsala sausage. The andouille has a real tripe taste, the smokiness of the garlic sausage is perfectly balanced, and the ham makes you want to eat it more often. Mr Gasnier's rillettes have won several medals at the Mamers competition.

The history of L'Atelier du Chocolat goes back to 1951 with Joseph and Madeleine Andrieu. Their son, Serge, took over the store in 1982, and in 1995 created the atelier-boutiques and bouquets de chocolats (assortments of chocolate leaves) that make the brand so original. One of the flagship products? Feuillants d'or. These are broken crêpes dentelles mixed with an almond and hazelnut praline. Hmm... you could eat a whole box of them! You should also try chocolate with chilli in bars or bite-size pieces, or with caramelized hazelnuts. You can also be tempted by a box of assortments or a magnificent gift box. L'Atelier du Chocolat also offers rochers, shortbread, medals and chocolate plaques. A formidable address for gourmands!

We pass the threshold of this corner shop, with, in mind, the project to organize a rillettes evening, since they are here well known. And then, there are all these plump birds that we let grow and grow! You are here for poultry and game specialists. But not only: beef comes directly from the farm, the insurance of quality meat. You will also be hesitating at all these starters and dishes dishes. It's you who see. Also think of this address for your guests: possibility of cold buffets, with a wine proposal.

Domaine Vins Michel Boulay offers a selection of quality wines. Jasnières and Côteaux du Loir wines are renowned for their dry character and fruity, floral bouquet. They also have the acidity to age well, up to 15 to 20 years. These wines go perfectly with dishes such as fish, seafood, charcuterie and cheeses. Some vintages can even be enjoyed with desserts.

Daniel Pelletier has been a distiller of eaux-de-vie since 1987 and a cider producer with Fanny since 2002. The Pelletier cider house is a family business. Here we work by hand, respecting the environment. The sheep graze in the orchards. Here you can find ciders, brandies, jams and other bottles in which the most traditional recipes alternate with some innovations. A very pleasant visit. A favorite? The cider confit that goes marvellously well with a duck foie gras from Sarthe.

At the heart of the Les Vergers d'Aulaines farm is a duo of apple and pear growers, Fabienne and Vincent, who cultivate no less than six hectares of orchards: 14 varieties of apples on 5 hectares, 5 varieties of pears on 1 hectare. At the farm you can find fresh fruit of different varieties, jams and fruit juices made 100% by hand. The fruits of the Vergers d'Aulaines are also offered for sale on Fridays, in the late afternoon, on the market place of Bonnétable and by the network "la Ruche qui dit oui".

Here, we have been beekeepers from father to son since 1856. The honeys from the Paumeraie apiaries are sold at the Nogent-le-Rotrou market on Saturday mornings and at several farmers' markets in Paris and the region. You can order from about fifteen varieties of honey including chestnut, bramble, acacia, fir, heather, lavender, garrigue, forest and other transhumance sites of the Sarthe beehives. Also on the stand gingerbread, pollen, sweets, soaps.

Extended opening hours in 2023 for this convenience store, which has been located since 2017 in the former SNCF station covered market, well-integrated and respectful of the old building, and a change of name for this multi-service store, the only one in the commune. The former Coccinelle has become the Utile mini-market, which effectively meets the needs of a local store in a rural environment. The store now offers a wider range of products, including fruit and vegetables, fresh produce and frozen foods. New features include a beer cellar, exotic products, toys and, as always, newspapers, gas sales, a Mondial Relay point, a photo booth, a photo developing terminal and a dry-cleaning depot. And two new jobs!

The right address to find the perfect meat or poultry to cook for your guests. And if you prefer to rely on the expertise of this butcher-caterer, take a look around the store or on his website to see his wide choice of ready-made dishes, bearing in mind that the company only buys from local farmers, craftsmen, winegrowers and breeders. Choose from: duck leg stuffed with porcini mushrooms in forest sauce, guinea fowl fondant stuffed with chanterelle mushrooms, pork filet mignon stuffed with porcini mushrooms in forest sauce, and many more. All that's left to do is set the table for your guests.

Based on the family farm, Céline and Éric Chevalier raise dairy cows, fed on locally-grown fodder, mainly grass, a little corn and cereals, all based on "reasoned" farming practices. Part of their milk is processed into fresh and mature cheeses, sold in the farm store, which also offers jams, jellies and chutneys concocted by Christine Jardin with produce from her orchard and vegetable garden in nearby Saint-Jean-d'Assé. It has to be said, too, that it's a family affair: Christine grew up on La Tournerie farm, and Christine and Céline are also sisters-in-law.

A jewel box for jewels! This new patisserie is the epitome of refinement. You'll fall head over heels in love with the beautiful little cakes! It has to be said that Julien Herman is an artist pastry chef who worked in the kitchens of great chefs before opening this house in Le Mans, which is a real treat for the taste buds. From breakfast to tearoom to lunch in jars, it's a no-brainer. On the shelves: finger caramel peanut, strawberry vanilla cabbage and many others, including our two favorites, one with black sesame, the other with yuzu.

A nugget for La Ferté-Bernard and the surrounding area. Barista Pierre-Yves Pigalle charms the crowds at the La Ferté-Bernard market with his little yellow estafette, vintage and gourmet. This little counter offers 10 coffees, 30 teas and excellent powdered chocolates. This aesthete knows how to recommend the best coffee for your tastes and your coffeemaker, and how to select your morning tea or evening herbal tea. While he expertly handles a state-of-the-art percolator for your morning coffee, he remembers with nostalgia his grandmother's hand-operated Peugeot coffee grinder, which gave him a taste for coffee! A nomadic, hedonistic and warm address that's a pleasure to discover.

An original visit that will change you from farms oriented breeding. Come and discover Dollon's blackcurrant liqueur, a very fragrant non-alcoholic liqueur to be consumed without moderation. Originally from Eastern countries, the blackcurrant arrived in Dollon in the 1960s with the particularity, since its beginnings in the Sarthe, of obtaining a sweetness and an intense flavour due to the superior sunshine during its maturation period. In Dollon, Céline Brouard is dedicated to the cultivation of this small fruit rich in flavours and benefits.

At the helm of this bakery-pastry shop is one of the village's two, Charlène Milcent and Jérémy Pancher, who took over the business in October 2021. However, in the months following their installation, roadworks on Avenue du Mans severely disrupted access to their store. After a difficult year, these two courageous and hard-working craftsmen have seen their customers return, appreciating the improvement brought about by the roadworks, which have created parking spaces and made their bakery more attractive. The baker's talent did the rest. His crunchy baguette is particularly popular.
