Regional groceries Normandy specialties France

A local Normandy shop that smells of apples, Camembert and teurgoule... A nice little store with a warm welcome and great local products! Ideally located at the start of the busy Rue Saint-Pierre, whether you're just passing through or a full-time resident, you won't want to miss out. Inside, you'll find an anthology of products made in Normandy: cookies, honeys, tripe, rillettes, all washed down with cider, perry, pommeau, wine, whisky (from Breuil-en-Auge), beer and the traditional Calvados. Enjoy!

Founded in 1981, Maison Asselot is the most famous ambassador of the genuine andouille de Vire, regularly awarded laurels of excellence in regional and national competitions. The best andouille from Vire, or almost! Handmade from pork belly, smoked in traditional beechwood fireplaces for three weeks, then simmered in a broth, Vire andouille can be enjoyed hot or cold, as an aperitif or at the table. An ancestral know-how, dating back to the ^18th century, to discover on our guided tours.

A wonderful family story that began with Chantal and Dominique, whose farm in Orbec is devoted to dairy production, cereal growing, and cattle breeding. Then comes son Pierre, who has created a free-range poultry farm and, in 2019, opened a pretty boutique dedicated to local produce in an old cider press on the edge of the D579. Here you'll also find the whole family's superb farm produce for direct sale. A counter that works wonders!

Uncompromising goodwill, a genuine passion for regional and farm products, and a smiling welcome - these are the assets of this little gourmet boutique, which is sure to delight you right in the heart of downtown. You'll find a wide selection of ciders, Norman beers, cheeses, fruit and vegetables, cookies, jams, wines and charcuterie. And don't forget the Calvados, two of which have been voted the best Calvados in the world! The whole of Normandy can be tasted here, with no need to worry about short excursions to other regions just as rich in flavours.

Graine des Champs is a grocery store and a collective of over 50 producers and artisans from Normandy. Cédric Devienne, who initiated the project, offers for sale the organic products of his partners, all with exemplary traceability, from environmentally friendly production within a 50 km radius. You'll find fruit and vegetables, meats and cheeses, as well as teas and coffees supplied by local roasters. A wellness and homeware section offers a complete range of hygiene and cleaning products. Meals available on site.

Whether you're a lover of sweet things or not, a visit to Maison Casati, artisan chocolatier, is well worth the detour! You'll love the uncluttered decor of this blue-fronted establishment, whose flagship product is macarons. The delicious, airy macarons are made locally. Add to this a wide range of chocolate and confectionery references, and you have one of the city's top spots for sweet treats. The welcome is warm and friendly, and the advice is just as helpful.

For ten years, Marie-France and Franck Leroy have been happy to make tourists and residents happy with their fine grocery store on the Seine. Renowned for the quality of its wines, the couple in the sense of hospitality and smile always present, also offers delicious cheeses as well as selection of the best Norman products, to make fun or to make fun! Regional products are proudly exposed, and can be cracked and cramped.

A nice little shop, right next to the Initiative Union, where Corinne welcomes you all smiles. On the one hand, wines and the other, greedy products. A woman merchant, it's rare enough to deserve to be interested! His selection is well felt: all regions are represented, mainly with relatively affordable tariffs. Side cheese, than good! From the local (the main Norman actors are present) and at least local (goat, feta, mozzarella, roquefort, Cantal…). A nice collection of sausages from Spain and sausage, just next to the Cidricoles products (Clos d'Orval). To complete the table, the paint jelly, the (original) jams, the gingerbread bread, the farmers'eggs… are what to fill your basket and even make it profitable for your return. You can even order, Corinne sends you the package by copying (in this case, forget the eggs!).

In the heart of the Parc naturel régional des boucles de la Seine normande, Gérard Lenormand is known as the biggest cider producer in the region. On his farm, he sells all the - very good - products derived from apples: pommeau jams, ice cider, cider brandy, Normandy aperitif, vinegar and, of course, calvados. His products have been widely rewarded, notably with a gold medal at the 2015 Paris Agricultural Competition for semi-dry cider. Gérard Lenormand is also present at the Jumièges market.

Luxurious, the boutique flatters eyes like papillae. The keyword is here 'quality' and necessarily, it has a price… Products are sorted on the component: teas of Kusmi Tea or Dammann Frères, preserved of fish La Belle Iloise, olive oils of the Baux de Provence, Dolfin and Cluizel chocolates, caviar Kaspia, products based on algae. In short, the top of the basket of French gastronomy (and elsewhere), together for fine palaces (and well-filled wallet!). A word on the cellar, which we don't see right now but which is immense and worth its weight of bottles. It is a separate world, where all regions of France are represented. It is possible to find pearls, especially in Languedoc wines or to offer a Vosne-Romanée, in piosing in his piggyback… Added to this is a whiskies radius and a beautiful Norman selection where the vintage calvados occupy a privileged place.

Pedagogy, smile, quality and taste are what you will find at the Laitière du Wuy. The greedy gourmets of local flavors will only have the convenience of choosing to fill their shopping cart. Honey, milk, butter, cream or meat, here, everything is produced on the farm, either by the owners, Véronique and Yves Lefebvre, or by the neighboring farmers. The couple also proposes the whole year of farm visits to discover how dairy cows and poultry are raised.

When you love the land, you want to make it discover, and that's the passion of the owners of this farm. Educational activities for children, the ecomuseum of linen, walks on the nature trail, the afternoon will not suffice, despite the great pause for tartinerie! A place "nature", ideal for finding relaxation and conviviality.

Gourmet friends, once upon a time, the best tripe in France and Navarre! At the end of the Vire, near the keep, the Ruault House has been producing tripe from father to son since 1955. In Calvados or Caen style, tripe can be found in this small shop. Many restaurants have made Ruault tripe one of their emblematic ingredients. And if tripe doesn't make you tripper, the house also concocts excellent terrines and country rillettes.

A welcoming boutique where you'll find a wealth of local products (with an s), finds from Normandy and beyond. Loose teas and spices, ground and granulated coffees, blended rums, Italian pasta of every color, apple juice, ciders and calvados from the Loterie de Clécy cellars, Normandy beers from the Odon (awarded a medal in Paris). Gift baskets, jams, boxes of chocolate: you'll find your arms full. In summer, try artisanal ice creams from the Haizerie farm in Vaux-sur-Aure. In winter, warm up with mulled wine!

Since the summer of 2021, the couple Aurélie and Mickaël are the happy owners of this small corner of paradise 100% Norman. Everything in this charming store smells of the land. It exhales milk and cream. It smells of camembert, pont-l'évêque, livarot and neufchâtel. It smells of Caen-style tripe, and andouille de Vire from Asselot, mixed with the scent of apples straight from the stills. When one pushes the door of the grocery store of Cambremer, no doubt: we are well and truly in Normandy. And we leave with our arms full!

The Helix of this breed breed for one purpose: land on your plate! In short-bouillon, à or forest, large-grey and small-grey are sold directly on the farm, itself present on the local markets.
