The best grocery stores Bouches-Du-Rhône

This is a very active cooperative with more than a hundred members - cereal growers, market gardeners, breeders - and it also exists in Manosque and Valensole. No intermediaries, ultra-fresh products and flawless traceability at the same price as the producer. Demanding or committed customers can find seasonal fruit and vegetables, dairy and farm products, cold cuts and meats all year round. The approach being also locavore, nothing is produced more than 160 km away. In the fish section, sea bream, sea bass and tuna from La Seyne-sur-Mer are sold vacuum-packed to guarantee the freshness of the product. Practical and well-stocked, the grocery section offers honey, tapenades, olive oils, jams, dried fruits, fruit juices, beers and wines, and organic products. The bread is made by farmer-bakers with their own wheat and small spelt. In short, you can do almost all your shopping at Couleurs Paysannes, and even treat yourself with a bouquet of flowers. Easy to access, the building is well visible from the avenue de La Grande-Bégude, which connects the center of Venelles to the Logissons. The welcome is smiling, the parking is free and every Friday and Saturday, producers come to present their products

Why La Casa di Mina simply because Mina is the Corsican grandmother. Thus one finds there the best Corsican products. On the early side, 100% local products within a 40 km radius. Products from an ecological agriculture. The range of Marius products is very well represented, tapenade, anchovy paste, ratatouille, ristes and regional products.

A farandole of delights.

No need to think about going to l'Estaque without tasting one of the specialities of the panisses, these small fried chickpea pancakes that can be eaten without moderation.

In this district of Marseille, they have the reputation of being the best in the world and some do not hesitate to cross the city to get some. Also taste the chichis, these sugar fritters with their incomparable flavour.

Between the lively Place Sébastopol and the commercial district of Cinq-Avenues, the arrival of this new peasant grocery store is welcomed by the inhabitants of the district.
