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.

It's not as small as all that, this little boutique of local creators and products. You walk through it to get to the post office, where you can stock up on terrines, delicacies (the chocolate treats are extra), local beers, Poitou tea... before snapping up a piece of costume jewelry, a donkey's milk soap, a little decoration or cardboard. A dozen designers exhibit their wares all year round, alongside local publisher Geste. A treasure trove of gifts that we are delighted to present to you.

Located in the historic district of Parthenay, La Gargante is an atypical restaurant offering street food inspired by different cultures.

You can also enjoy the terrace in fine weather. The dining cellar offers a selection of cheeses, charcuterie and other artisanal products to enjoy on the premises or to take away. Lovers of artisanal beers will be delighted with over 200 references available, as well as 6 draught beers. The wine cellar offers a selection of natural wines.

Once upon a time, there was the Airvault grocery store, a cooperative local shop where you can find the best of the local producers, enough to make a good meal and bring back some tasty memories from the Deux-Sèvres. 50 km around! This is the watchword for local productions: cheeses, honey, cookies, chocolates, wine, beers, more than fifty producers are represented on the shelves alongside organic and conventional products. A little gem of a shop that brings life back to the town!

More than 80 producers have joined Plaisirs fermiers to offer you over 2,000 references of local farm produce. Farmers are on hand every day to advise you and answer any questions you may have about product traceability. Fruits, seasonal vegetables, meat, dairy and delicatessen products are all available. There's no middleman here. Plaisirs Fermiers offers short-distance sales to guarantee freshness and quality. It's a great way to discover the real taste of farm produce and support local agriculture.

The meeting place for bon vivants and lovers of good food! A real Ali Baba's cave, Terroir Gourmand is a very well-stocked delicatessen. Oils and condiments, spices, preserves of all kinds, Aquitaine caviar, terrines and pâtés are accompanied by a host of local and foreign sweets (honeys, chocolates, jams, etc.), carefully selected. Lovers of fine or rare alcohols and kraft beer will find what they are looking for, if not enough to prepare a racy aperitif this evening! You will also find good advice.
