The best regional grocery stores Vienne

A stork has decided to nest in Poitiers and is nesting between the arches of the Palace Bridge. At the head of this pretty and warm store, Jean went to find the best products from Alsace, his native land. In addition to gingerbread, spaetzeles... the store offers, among its 900 references, all the ingredients to make your sauerkraut or your flammekueche. In the back, beers, pinot noirs and gewurztraminers fill the cellar. The place is also a tea room. You can taste generous homemade pies, spiced cakes, homemade ice creams, delicious pretzels, and at lunchtime taste, among others, the sauerkraut of the establishment.

Member of the network "Welcome to the farm", Patricia and Eric Philipponneau raise bees in the poitevin bocage… These beekeepers will extract honey that will serve them to manufacture a range of natural and authentic products: spring honey harvested on the flower orchards in April, honey spreads with hazelnuts, gingerbread and the "Valais du Poitou", creamy honey of sunflower. You're invited to go there to find out how bees live, how a hive is built. It's possible to visit the transformation honey processing workshop… Retail sale on site, in the Futuroscope shops and country houses. Good tasting!

This Poitou counter, a must for any newcomer to the Vienne, is full of local products. In workshops in the four corners of the Vienne, passionate people shape or cook quality products. Beers, wines, pasta, oils, jams, cakes, terrines, soaps, teas, jewelry, bags, books: you will leave with a basket full of delicacies or objects from our region. To keep a souvenir of your visit, choose an original and local gift!

Since 2015, the local producers have their associative store nicely entitled Le bon coin paysan in a 110 m² store. And you can indeed make good deals because the best of the products of the commune are gathered there: cheeses, yoghurts, meats, poultries, fruits and vegetables, wines, jams, soups. You can find everything you need to prepare a good meal from starter to dessert! Seasonal and regional products are a must. There's plenty to enjoy! Each day of opening, a producer is present to welcome the customers.

Behind Auchan Sud, on 300 m², the store Les Halles fermières offers products from our countryside. Nine market gardeners and breeders have joined forces to bring their products directly to consumers. They have also selected many local products to complete the offer. Taste, quality, local, everything is gathered in one place to make life easier: vegetables, fruits, wines, bread, groceries... The meat is cut on the spot and the cold cuts are made in the workshops. Thanks to the online market, they are also in a drive version!

In this pretty store overlooking the fairground, Marie welcomes you with a smile. In this grocery-herbery store, you'll find a little bit of everything, but mostly local products or products made by passionate producers, including bulk products (cereals, sugar...), herbal teas, preserves, wine, spices, soaps... There are also artisan creations: baby sarouels, zero-waste creations, pretty jewelry, candles... A small organic and local market is held on Wednesdays from 5pm to 7pm. Workshops are also available.

These sisters have had the bright idea of opening a gourmet and responsible grocery store in the center of Neuville, where bulk and regional products have pride of place. Their first names?

Mathilde and Angèle. Together, they select products that are good for you (often organic), mostly local, and sold in bulk whenever possible. They know them inside out. You can bring your own containers or borrow those from the store. Here, everything is done to make your shopping as simple as possible. A tea room completes the boutique.

Housed in a beautiful building, this "maison de pays" is a veritable economic and tourist showcase for the Loudunais region. The shelves and display racks are overflowing with local crafts: a wide range of AOC wines, preserves, jams, saffron... Put together your own basket of goodies! There's also jewelry, handicrafts and cosmetics. There's also a terrace, playful gardens and an area for motorhomes.
