In the early ^20th century, the café La Fourmi was born on Chaussée de la Madeleine in Nantes, next to the Belle Croix bridge and Quai de la Maison Rouge. In 2023, La Fourmi was reborn as a bakery with sourdough breads made from ancient wheat flours: Datell, Rouge du Roc and Carré de Crête. Pascal and Olivier, partners and lovers of Nantes history, met in a flour mill (Bourseau in Nozay) before embarking on the adventure of this traditional bakery. Today, using ancient wheat and millstone flours, they keep the Minoterie de Nozay working. Postcards, now photos, of the former café have been reinstalled to show the authenticity of the premises, as Café La Fourmi was one of the oldest cafés in Nantes. Now a bakery, it offers delicious burger buns, curried ciabatta, fruit breads and excellent sandwiches. The emphasis is on seasonal produce. Special breads are organic. A place dedicated to bread tasting, committed and artisanal.

The Normandy Oise deserves its name: cider is one of the specialities of this region stretching from the Beauvaisis to the borders of the Seine-Maritime. Some of the best wines come from this cider house founded in 1955 by Gérard Maeyaert, a former task force (seasonal worker). The establishment changed its name and curiously adopted as an effigy on its site a gorilla (an animal that is not very common in Beauvaisis). There are five types of ciders, but also three beers and six fruit juices (including original rhubarb).

The secret of a good wine according to them? An unfailing knowledge of the terroir which allows them to offer a greater complexity to their wines.
