Gourmet products local specialties and wines France

After working in Australia and Polynesia, Nelly and David fell under the spell of Cambo-les-Bains. A pastry chef by trade, David has surrounded himself with a brigade whose average age is under 30. The bakery is bustling with activity from dawn onwards, offering around fifteen different types of bread, Basque cakes and other delicious sweet treats, all made fresh on the premises. The "house" specialty: chocolate marbré. A local business, but above all a quality one!

This family dairy farm offers products that are then sold at the Talents de Ferme collective store, near the farm. A way for Pascale and Benoît Baron to continue their adventure by offering their products directly with as few intermediaries as possible. A successful bet for this family! Among the products offered, we find: milk, beaten milk, yoghurts, cottage cheese, cream desserts... You will also find baskets supplied with the well-known Saveur en'Or label.

For centuries, seven generations have worked on the 30 hectares of the estate to produce wines with original aromas that reflect the generosity and strong character of the local people. Defenders of a strong ethical charter including the HVE standard, Pierre Fil and his son Jérôme offer three original ranges, from vineyards shaped by the wind and the Mediterranean climate; the "pleasure" wines, wines of friends as they like to say, the "authentic", Minervois reds and signature wines with the flagship wines of the domain, "Dolium" and "M".

You will find this producer in Camors, in the north of the Auray country near the beautiful Blavet Valley. The chance of a small detour and a thirst-quenching break, after a leisurely walk, a cycling trip or a return of a fishing game, for example. Daniel Le Mer producer of raw cider, semi-dry, cider «Guillevic», apple juice, aperitifs and fine Brittany from organic production welcomes you directly on the farm. You will leave the arms loaded with good things. You can also find the cider of this producer in one of the local AMAP.

La Massotte is a farm, in the noble sense of the term, and with the air of Noah's Ark. Respectful of animal welfare, Joris puts all his energy into developing short circuit products, with his atypical breeding of black pigs, his succulent charcuterie, his lambs, his flock of "Rouge du Roussillon" sheep or his production of olive oil from his 4 hectares of olive grove, treated with natural fertilisers! Here we go from the meadow to the plate, in a perfect search for quality and balance, a return to our roots just a stone's throw from Limoux.

In addition to growing wheat and corn, Didier and Sophie Gaugeacq raise Mulard ducks, renowned for producing the finest foie gras. The duckling is received in its first days of life, and is first protected indoors, then raised in the wild according to a precise charter. The ducklings are then force-fed whole corn for 14 days, before being transformed into various products that you can enjoy at the La Déesse des Gourmets farm inn, or find in the canning store. Products can be ordered directly on the internet.

In 2000, Jean-Philippe and Jean-Guillaume Bret took over the La Soufrandière estate, acquired in 1947 by their paternal grandfather. They farm their vines using organic and biodynamic methods (including horse-drawn ploughing). They treat the great wines they produce with the same care, thanks to their wine merchant Bret Brothers. It's a pleasure to stop and meet these passionate people, who gladly share their love of terroir.

Occitania is one of the most gourmet regions in France. It owes it to the talented producers and breeders who cultivate its land. They invite you to visit the local markets. The one in Vias takes place every Monday morning on the seafront. In total, about twenty exhibitors offer their products in short circuits. Market gardeners, cheese makers, pork butchers, bakers, oyster farmers: the market has a superb range of products. You can even find tielles agathoises.

The Curveux family estate has been established in Fuissé, near the superb Saint-Germain church, for four generations now, winemakers from father to son. The estate is now in the hands of Guillaume, who has taken over from his father Joël. Take advantage of a stroll in the surrounding area to taste one of the appellations produced (Mâcon-Fuissé, Mâcon-Chaintré, Pouilly-Fuissé and Pouilly-Fuissé^1er cru) in the 8-hectare vineyard. The vineyard, which is cultivated in a sustainable manner, is certified High Environmental Value.

In the heart of Montbonnot-Saint-Martin, next to the church, Jeanine et Gisèle is much more than a traditional village grocery store. It is a real place of life with a high added conviviality, animated by two good people who love good products, even more when they are local. A love that they share by offering products directly from producers - whom they invite you to meet regularly - or in the shortest possible circuit. On the bar side, great aperitif menu, tastings, gourmet and festive evenings from Wednesday to Friday.

The large Costières de Pomerols cellar features a 250^m2 sales area, a tasting room for up to 50 people, and a panoramic terrace. Here, terroir takes pride of place. When summer is in full swing, the place comes alive with jazz evenings where you can enjoy tapas and wines under the stars. The house also offers workshops, gourmet escapades, cellar tours and other wine-tourism delights!

Created by the family team of Romain Escofier and Maï Roblin, l'Arrière-boutique is aptly named, as it is the name of the famous table du Square that Romain Escofier has been developing with brio for over 10 years. The delicatessen is full of the good products that Romain and his chef cook in their restaurant, quality products, cured meats, smoked meats, Italian cheeses... Under the store, a cellar with more than a thousand references, as many treasures!

Every Wednesday morning, the Joyeuse market is one of the most popular in the region for locals and tourists alike. You'll find the usual array of fruit, vegetables, cheeses, breads and other fresh produce, as well as clothes, books, local crafts and souvenirs. Out of season, this market is already a respectable size even in the depths of winter. In July and August, it's at its peak. At this time of year, we recommend parking outside the village and walking to the market.

Marc Verdant is passionate about what he does. Creative too, with almost monumental pieces made from a variety of chocolates. Quality is the order of the day, which is only logical given the high standards imposed on each gourmet creation. There are two sales outlets in Pontarlier, this one in the center of town and a showroom in the Planchettes area. Classic chocolates and pastries rub shoulders with other original and innovative creations..

Brasserie de la Montagne Couronnée is a craft brewery nestled in the heart of the old city of Laon. Its unique craft beers reflect the rich history of the area. Its product range, including Grimpette, Gargouille Impudique and Adieu Berthe, is a tribute to the Montagne Couronnée. Each beer expresses the spirit of this place by telling a story, a place and a character linked to Laon. Proof of its local roots, the brewery offers its products for direct sale!

Ferm'Meaux Pâtes is a family farm that produces... pasta, yes, but not just any pasta. The pasta is made in the workshop from Varreddes durum wheat semolina and other local products (rapeseed, beet, eggs). The semolina is crushed by hand at Moulin Bourgeois in Verdelot. You'll find in this place - which looks like something out of a fairy tale - coquillettes, fusillis, tagliatelle, etc., sometimes flavoredwith thyme, beet... In short, a 100% local palette of flavors and shapes. We love it!

" I created my cider in 1983, I was 31 years old, at a time when nobody - except me - believed our drink had a future ". Fine omen! 30 years later, Loïc Berthelot proudly rap his success and his artisan cider, the Cellier Wood cellar. Its «pure juice» cider is developed according to traditional methods with the best fruits cultivated and harvested by its 115 suppliers in the small orchards around. Loïc has not forgotten that Ille-et-Vilaine is the cradle of Breton cider, and it is a wonderful tribute to perpetuate ancestral know-how. We no longer count the medals gleaned over the years in the competition of the cider of Brittany. Silver and bronze have repeatedly earned passion, the art of work well done and respect for the land. If you have the chance to meet him, you'll see, it's still a character, that Loïc. He will tell you the apple varieties: Bedan, Small sweet, By, Sweet onions, Frequin, Damelot, long foot… names that sing and blend to give this cider of cru to the scents of the pool. Crude (solid, a slightly rustic), fruity (end, elegant with a small point of acidity), half-dry (round in mouth, sweet and generous). Good news… Succession is assured. Berthelot Berthelot, 26 years old, is ready to take over the torch. Yec'hed mat!

Already known by the people of Rochelais, this shop is now located on the island of Ré. Located in the heart of one of the most beautiful villages in France, this grocery-caterer is ideal for a break. What a pleasure to sit on the terrace, enjoying the iodized atmosphere and the view of the ocean. You will find here the quality Italian products for which Panettone is famous: fresh pasta, sauces, cold cuts, cheeses, drinks... The place is ideal for tasting ravioli, lasagna and tiramisu, with a bright room.

Located right next to the train station, this artisan bakery is open from dawn for a gourmet breakfast. Its wide range of homemade breads, like the pumpkin seed baguette, is made with Label Rouge flour. Pure butter viennoiseries, pastries and other sweet treats such as chocolate are just waiting for you. Erwan Le Bechennec, with 25 years of baking under his belt, and his team of 4 also design cakes for special events. At lunchtime, you'll find good sandwiches, pizzas, paninis, croque-monsieur or hot-dogs, and special brioche buns for burgers. You can enjoy these tasty treats along the Canal Saint-Felix, just a stone's throw away.

In the Grand Rue, this delicatessen offers daily specials, with the good idea of staying open until 1:30pm, whereas its colleagues close up store at 12:30pm. On a day-to-day basis, you can stock up to prepare a meal or picnic. During the week, for example, you can enjoy a poached chicken leg with supreme sauce and Creole rice, Provençal beef estouffade with pearl barley, or roast veal with sautéed potatoes. For starters, the homemade foie gras with onion confit is delicious. For dessert, head down the street to the patisserie.

An "old fashioned" bakery as we like it. Without any pejorative sense of the term. First of all, we love the interior with its deceptively rococo decoration, the moldings, the large mirrors that contrast with the bustling atmosphere of the Place Jean-Jaurès, an alternative district if ever there was one. The terrace unfolds in the sun and is an ideal spot for your morning coffee, especially on market days, when you can appreciate the animation under your eyes. On the bakery side, very good homemade buns and pastries with some unexpected specialties like the poppy croissant. A marvel of delicacy in the mouth that we have never found elsewhere in the city. Just for that...

Le Petit Futé met this family on a beautiful Provencal morning at the Egalyères market. A meeting with a "golden" family! The stall is superb, richly stocked with fresh, tasty fish and other seafood. As for the smile, it's a sunny one. Lolo offers Mediterranean fish fresh from the famous Grau-du-Roi fish auction. The salmon-cabillaud brochettes are delicious. Shellfish platter at Christmas, tuna in summer, terrines, etc. We recommend this indispensable "tour"!

The workshop opens early in the morning and releases a gourmet fragrance. Candies and confectionery are synonymous with sharing, conviviality and comfort. The sweets made by Ère Éthique are baked in a copper cauldron and prepared by hand. Nougats, gingerbreads, spreads and fruit jellies are made from carefully selected products. The walnuts are harvested in Saint-Hilaire-du-Rosier, the honey comes from Royans, and the lavender and pine essential oils come from Vercors... Regressive and ethical!

Alicia Delorme with her mobile grocery truck travels the small roads around Le Cheylard to reach the isolated villages and allow the inhabitants to stock up on Ardéchois products, mainly organic and in bulk. From Monday to Friday, it stops in Saint-Jean-Chambre, St-Michel-d'Aurance, delivers to Mariac, then goes on the road to Châteauneuf-de-Vernoux, Saint-Prix, St-Basile-Lapras, Silhac and finally Saint-Victor. 170 references thanks to the involvement of a network of market gardeners, cereal growers, beet growers, vinegar makers..

A reference in the Basque Country for its viennoiseries and tarts, but also, in season, for its exceptional orange blossom galettes des rois, whose secret recipe is carefully guarded. You'll need to get to the store early, as early as 7am. You'll also appreciate the daily sandwiches, salads and one of the best Basque cakes in the region. The second boutique on avenue de Verdun reproduces the same high standards of quality.

Born in 2022, the boutique du Paon qui boit is a very special cellar, as it is the first alcohol-free cellar in France. On site or via the online store, you'll find no fewer than 450 products, including de-alcoholized wines (yes, it exists and it's even good), beers and cocktails, as well as fermented and plant-based drinks like kombucha. A great initiative for those wishing to reduce (or stop) their alcohol consumption. Tasting workshops are held regularly.

L'Esprit Épicurien is located opposite Robespierre's famous house, with its chic, elegant storefront. It's a delicatessen and a specialist in spirits and arranged rums.

You can take your dishes home with you, or sit out on the terrace. Caroline also offers aperitif platters to order, and in the store you'll find an attractive selection of local produce.

Pâté en croûte Richelieu with sweetbreads and morels, with poultry, with lobster... At La Petite Echalote, we know how to delight even the most demanding taste buds! And what about the millefeuille of pig's trotters and foie gras, or the white puddings stuffed with chorizo, basil and pine nuts? Butchery is not to be outdone: côte de porc noir de Bigorre, filet de rumsteck au gras de boeuf, veal sausages with preserved lemons and sage, Angus beef from Gascony... These catering recipes make great side dishes. Think home delivery.

Yannick loves a job well done, and makes tasty breads, delicious viennoiseries and all kinds of sweets. In fact, it's quite simple: Yannick works to order. Everyone here knows this, and they even call ahead to reserve their baguette! Depending on the vegetables available in his garden and his mood at the time, he can also whip up savoury delights, like his speciality, tarte-tatouille. You'll be welcomed in the workshop itself, attached to his house in the middle of nowhere. No credit card.

A superb butcher's shop in the heart of Saint-Martin-de-Crau. Yoann, the owner, works mainly with short-run Aubrac cattle. This superb, brand-new store also boasts a rotisserie and a maturing cellar. A beautiful and appetizing "traiteur" section with take-away lasagne, flaky vegetable tartar, eggplant parmesan or gardiane de taureau, for example... We love the fact that the butcher's shop also offers you the option of putting together your own package of grilled meats.

Fresh produce, all local, sold alongside local specialities and a great tasting area (and oyster bar). That's the great concept, guaranteed 100% no-frills, offered by Jordan Cottrelle in Woignarue.

Highly recommended.

To shop in the heart of the city, directly from the farmers, the local farmers' market is the right place to be. You can take your basket, stroll around the market hall, chat with the stallholders and enjoy the colors. Dedicated to organic products and short circuits, this farmers' market brings together producers of local flavors. We fill up with fresh products and we spend a good moment to choose the most beautiful.

A bakery and patisserie just like you've always dreamed of. Stéphanie and Adrien are a team in life and at work. She's an adorable, attentive receptionist.
