The best grocery stores Hautes-Alpes

We make good food when we are driven by passion. This is the case of Bruno, an excellent craftsman of taste passionate about the region, and his wife Hélène. In their gourmet store in the main street of Embrun, these two enthusiasts offer us the best regional products: delicious tourtons from Champsaur, jams from Briançon, a fine selection of local wines or delicatessen, olive oils, cold cuts, but also cheeses from here and elsewhere. If you don't want to cook, Bruno (caterer) can do it for you.

Don't go to the High Alps without tasting the famous tourton, regional pride and met  ! Sweet or savoury, they are all as good as others, to the goat, to spinach, to meat, prunes or apples… This store offers you a wide variety of tourtons, made in an artisanal way. Fruit and vegetable purée are also cooked on site, ensuring the freshness of all products. A good address to purchase one of the most appreciated local products.

The Creations du Bochaine store offers a wide selection of handcrafted products. Visitors can purchase items such as alpaca hats, skeins of merino wool, mohair and silk gloves, and much more. The store is easily accessible by car, with parking available nearby.

The history of the tourton, which dates back to the beginning of the 19th century, took a turn when Jean-Louis Pellegrin decided to make tourtons in his kitchen and sell them on the markets "as his grandmother used to make them". Since then, the Tourtons du Champsaur have extended their range. If you can find Tourtons du Champsaur everywhere in France, it is imperative to make a stop in Chabottes or Saint-Firmin, on the production sites, or in this pleasant store in Gap where irresistible flavors are released.
