Biscuit shops Ardèche

Joyeuse macaroons have been around since the ^16th century, created from an Italian recipe, passed through the intrigues of the King of France's court and then brought back to the Ardèche by the Duke of Joyeuse. In the Maison Charaix boutique, you'll be welcomed with infinite kindness to discover this historic sweet. Take your time, look around, taste... we advise you without pushing you, we inform you without stressing you. The store also sells local honeys, other cookies and chestnut products.

A native of the region, Simon Rouchier is now a farmer-confectioner. A former chocolatier who wanted to move into arboriculture, he decided to combine his two passions: confectionery and agriculture. On 2 hectares, he grows organic apricots, apples, plums, blackcurrants, strawberries, raspberries, redcurrants and blackberries. In his artisanal workshop, he transforms them into sweet delights: candied fruits coated in chocolate, fruit jellies, but also nectars, syrups, jams and even nougat, hence the name of his small business: Au nougat ardéchois. Gourmets melt!
