THE artisanal tourteau-cheese factory, the guarantor of centuries-old traditions and tricks of the trade. So it's here, almost in the middle of nowhere, that you'll have to learn all about this sweet UFO made with goat's milk and a soot-black grilled crust. Virtually 100% of the ingredients are local (except for the sugar), hand-brewed and baked at 285°. A household name, the house remains the darling of the major catering establishments; it was even invited to the Elysée Palace by the presidential pastry chef! Brioches and pure butter crushed prunes are also available.

The four associates, Daniel, Antony, Tony and Freddy, not happy to offer a rare gastronomy in the Bois Pouvreau restaurant in Ménigoute, continue to enjoy their à la carte catering service. For weddings, communion, baptism, a solution will be found depending on the geographical location of the meal, the number of guests and the desired budget. The world of professional events does not frighten them either, the watchword here is flexibility. But they also have another vocabulary: that of the delight of tastes, of conviviality, of knowledge. The aesthetic of the dressage of plates is to fall; but how do they make such works of art in such a timed time? The mystery will remain intact, after all it is part of the magic. The catalogue is full of refined ideas, adaptable to all the scholarships. Our men like to quote Curnonsky: " Perfection in the kitchen is when things have the taste of what they are. '»»»»

Blandine and Laurent Cathala know how to pamper the gourmets in all of us. In their workshop-boutique, our senses are on the alert. In the windows, treasures to savor. Colorful macaroons in original flavors (lavender-honey or angelica), tempting pastries with chocolate, fruit... and why not both? Here, gourmandise is made up of small and large pleasures that change with the seasons. Nothing is off-limits, not even ice creams, chocolate bars and bonbons with grand cru, infused ganaches and pralines.

Coco Baré, a passionate gourmet, opened his cellar in 2020, an address that has become so indispensable that it was awarded the only Gault & Millau macaron in the Deux-Sèvres region in June 2023. Whether you're shopping (700+ references of wines and spirits) or dining (wines by the glass, skittles and platters of local charcuterie and cheeses to share), you'll be so taken with this warm, chic space that you'll want to stay. Decorated with family heirlooms, with shelves of small and large producers, the owner behind the counter enchants with his discoveries, advice and warm welcome.

This tourist itinerary allows you to discover the key players in the New Aquitaine cheese industry. It features 50 stops, most of them in the Poitou region.

No doubt you'll cross paths with the emblematic Chabichou and Mothais on the leaf.

Here's a grocery store that's very much in tune with its region and its time. Working with over 90 regional producers, many of whom sell organic produce, it offers fresh produce, dairy products, cheeses, dried goods, as well as breads, meats, poultry, wines, fruit juices, liqueurs, teas and coffees. Much more than a simple shop, it's a militant store with a clear commitment to rediscovering local consumption, bringing together consumers and producers from the Pico-charentais region.

Faisselle, crottin, brique, mothais, pyramide, bûche... All the goat cheeses made on this eco-construction farm are organic!

Enjoy your visit!

Camille and Raphaël welcome tourists to their chambres d'hôtes and their brand-new eco-gîte! The fattened ducks are force-fed and processed in the small workshop in batches of seventy-five, using organic corn produced on the farm, cooked in the fat, which is then used to cook delicate dishes according to the traditional recipes of Périgné's grandmothers! Combining farm activities, product tasting and a longer stay in a truly eco-friendly location is an excellent vacation idea.

At the Rosette des Prés, quality is the main priority. The products offered by Monsieur Chouc come from the Fenioux pig farm: the animals are reared in the open air, in full compliance with the Bleu Blanc Coeur Label specifications, with pigs fed on cereals, vegetable proteins and linseed which promote the intake of omega 3. The pork meats are made in the traditional way, in the respect of the cooking of the pig of yesteryear (stewed). Seven sales outlets are available under the L'heure du marché brand.

On the church square of Coulon, here is an excellent address to have a drink, a tea, to stroll, to taste a pancake, a waffle, and to buy some products from here and there in the cellar and the delicatessen of the shop. You are here at Jérémie's. It is this lover of the marsh who had the not-so-frozen idea to open this nice establishment, and that, all year long. You will find a modern decor and a very friendly welcome. And as the name suggests, don't forget to order a good homemade ice cream to refresh yourself.

In the heart of the village, the Super U d'Echiré is well arranged. Of course, you can find all the products offered by a classic supermarket, delicatessen, butcher's shop, beauty products, drinks, frozen food, cleaning products... And an excellent quality fish section. One of the best in Niort (and around). The catering service is also very satisfactory. The car park is large, a bank is located just next door and a gas pump. The hostesses are smiling. Renting commercial trucks is very interesting. The place also has photocopier services/ cash dispenser/ recycling/ recycling/ 24/7 pissing machine/worldwide relay point/butchery: products, works with farmers, homemade sausage production/ homemade pizza and sandwich catering.

The Sèvre-et-Belle dairy has been producing pasteurized and raw goat's milk butters and cheeses since 1983. These products regularly win awards and are distributed worldwide. Based on a number of fundamental principles, the company offers a range of interesting products in both cheese and butter (Baratte d'or, Baratte du crémier...). Don't hesitate to visit the cooperative's boutique!

The Huvelin family business has been shining with its creations since 1963. A total of 59 types of chocolate bonbons, bouchées, tablettes, "carrés origines", pralines, ganaches and a hint of Pamplie salted butter, all prepared by hand. The establishment also works with the emblematic angelica, in its candied version, in jams, compotes and liqueurs obtained by maceration. What can I say? Oh yes, it's a Niort landmark: a visit is a must!
