Since Frederic Alle laid down its ovens rue Fresco, the life of this little street of the city centre has changed. The bread proposed is, without hesitation, one of the best in the city centre, in the purest French tradition of the crispy wand which, as soon as it hits, announces a well-started day. Viennoiseries are the same accabit, with a wide choice of fougasses to we, tomato or anchovies. Blanks, lightning and a fougasse of pure Mortes-Mortes also make the excellent reputation of this bakery. Traditional quiches and pizzas complete the proposals for salt. Everything was served with Laetitia's smile.

A little camouflaged in a small street that gives rise to the Revolution square, this harmless bakery at first glance applies the tradition of old-fashioned breads, that is, made in leaven with stone flour from a Moulin mill. Its characteristics? The taste, the colour a little bise and a good conservation, you will keep it carefree several days. The oven, which we see from the store, cooked a wide variety of breads, aux, ideal for foie gras, rye with lemon bark for fish, flax, complete, apples bread, apricots, nuts, walnut, paissou, intégrale bread, which stands out by its square shape, not bad for hot toast… At the same time, according to the season, more than types of bread go out of baker. They are placed on demand. And hot or cold pies are also worth a detour. An excellent address! Especially as car access is easy: You can stop it in duplicate without any problems.

His reputation remains unchanged, this real bakery runs the Nîmois from all corners of the city. Jean-Paul Perras's work (professional of bread-dough in all genres: complete, organic, cereals…), managed to combine with tradition and efficiency. Its famous bench has many followers and we have tasted! that is understandable. A bakery that offers you more menus to eat locally, more than suitable and served with a smile, which does not spoil anything.

Located in the centre of the city, this boutique of the famous high-end chocolate brand offers retail chocolates with self-catering boxes. This pure chocolate butter chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate maker is a specialist in black chocolate, advice to amateurs! You will find at the olives gate the chocolates, orangettes, candied fruits, Des of Aix and a specialty spécialité the Arena des arenas developed with a praline which has been incorporated into the crepe, with a first black chocolate coating, sugar a thin layer of sugar.

Not easy to locate this large hangar located on the edge of the Zac of Saint-Césaire! But once you've done it, you're sure you're sure to find exotic cooking. This supermarket is well worth a visit in Asian food products. Long-term rayons, in summary presentation as in discounters, align all kinds of basic ingredients to make, in choice, rice patties, spring rolls, nems, sushi, achards, samoussas… You will find rice in large quantities, Indian, Japanese, Chinese but also sake or agricultural rum from Martinique! Condiments coming from the Indian Ocean and whole linéaires of imported spices as well as a fresh, frozen, different drinks, teas and more or less spiked sauces, such as soy or nuoc-mâm. Fresh fruits and vegetables, jars, preserves and still profusion of food or food aid to be discovered. Let's not forget, the famous dehydrated soups whose offer has deteriorated. A real trip to the station of Saint-Cézaire.

A family property since 1955, Château de la Tuilerie is located on the oldest geological part of the Costières de Nîmes appellation. The vineyard extends over 59 hectares surrounded by the purple foothills of the Cévennes to the west and the Mediterranean Sea to the south. The Château de la Tuilerie is considered one of the references of the Costières de Nîmes appellation, offering wines of great finesse and elegance. This winery blends refinement with the comfort of a modern cellar. Wines to be discovered in situ, or à la carte from the best restaurants in the Gard.

The Casa del Sol Cellar has changed its place. You will now find it Channel Road, but what persists, on the other hand, is the quality of the reception and the relevance of the advice you will receive. You will always find wines from countries, from costières-de-nîmes but above all from the wines of the Château Bolchet domain, with a beautiful novelty this year, a white wine based on Grenache and Roussanne (5,90 € the bottle). All that is to buy is at very reasonable price from 3,50 € to 6,30 €, no reason to deprive oneself! Note that some wines of this cellar are each listed on the guide Hachette.

Ask a wine lover who is a wine merchant in town, he is very likely to give you the name of this shop, located at the very beginning of Racine Street, on the back of the Square of Art. A central island presents the novelties, promotions and many strokes of the house, especially the productions of local vineyards. On the shelves, discovering other regional areas; costières-de-nîmes, côteaux-du-languedoc abound. Not forgetting the côtes-du-rhône, for which the boss admits his preference. The love of infused wine in the veins, Véronique and Alain Bosc, are familiar with the other land of France. They will advise you on bourgognes or Bordeaux in a selection adapted to your budget, while large wines are on sale for the biggest awards. Free and friendly tasting. An indispensable address. Note that wine savings, which were put in place a few years ago at this point of sale, are very successful. Discover on site.

We feel that the former manager of the chain vineyard, Nicolas, located at 100 m, wanted to be pleased by opening his own cellar to offer the wines that are attractive to him. Result: a pleasant range, mainly oriented towards the slopes of the Languedoc. A few costières and organic wines at reasonable prices are also on the cardboard, in the centre of the small shop. On the shelves, we touch the more famous Languedoc crus, the whites of Alsace, some bottles of the South-west, and especially one of the finest collections of sorts of whiskies on Nîmes: Scottish, of course, but also Irish, American, Breton and even Japanese. With some luck, especially when the beautiful days come, you may fall on a tasting of one of the boss's discoveries. The location is probably more affordable than its competitors for the novice, and the offer also invites the discovery of wines from innovative wine processes.

At Marcon, everything is good. The rime is poor, but the saying'hallier'is not idle, and Daniel Marcon has taken on the flambeau of an already meticulous daddy. Regions of great tradition of poultry farming find their place in this small outlet: Bresse, Landes. But even without this origin, Marcon guarantees an open-air poultry farming, which is fed to grain, which is already a guarantee of quality. Pigeons, quails and fowls complete the range of volatiles. At the charcuteries radius (to be tasted absolutely!), five raw hams offer a trip from Parma to Catalonia. A failing under any pretext: boudin and liver-fat. Or, as a summer pleasure, lemon chicken chicken. A delight.

The last wine seller present at the Halles after the departure of Lucullus (also read), Bachan'Halles offers wines from two different cellars in bulk and a selection of costières and côtes-du-rhône. If you have forgotten your bidon, you will be supplied with a plastic container, including bottles, without extra costs. The staff were friendly.

With its original combination of jute bags, in homage to the past and noble and traditional materials, this colourful and fragrant outlet will attract your gaze. The boss is a passionate guy, he talks about dry vegetables with the eye bent and gives you the desire to cook. Listen to it and discover its wild rice, Thai or basmati scented rice, its Mexican chickpeas, its Quinoa quinoa, its Italian polenta and its coral lenses from India: a real trip around the world. But local products are not forgotten, with the rice of the Camargue, the tarbais beans, the green tartar, the Puy lenses and a range of olives and olive oils produced in the Gard.

You will not be able to miss this very large shop outlet. Located at the crossroads of the two central lanes, it is, for many Nîmois, an inescapable one. The presentation of the cheeses is cured, the products labelled in detail: raw milk, cooked, pasteurized, labels, provenance… The choice is great. Reception, however, sometimes lacks some heat. It does not prevent: This is the only place in Nîmes where you can find four varieties of pie in raw milk, including a refined au. For this alone, Vergne is worth a visit.

If you see an impressive track in front of the central gate, it's the spring and the strawberry season. This reputed barking then flows an impressive tonnage of a chantilly cream home! The boss of the site, Paul Ribière, is a friendly man who jealously guards the recipe of his creams, whether they be flogged or chestnut. His daughter, Magalie, and an employee provide the sale, including the service of fresh cheeses camarguais, faiselles (delicious!), boundary, nature or herbs. An excellent family business - well known and appreciated by the gourmets - tradition as well as quality!

Clams, clams, mussels, oysters, shrimp and, of course, tellines: the freshness of the South is the official supplier of all the nîmois restaurants that display the seafood products (excluding fish) to their menu, as well known among them, the Bistro del Mar. Smiling welcome, tempting products, moderate prices. To be beaten, especially when the summer comes.

Arriving by the main entrance, the charcuterie is immediately to your left and the smells that the stall dégage cannot leave indifferent. Here we are mainly oriented towards the Lozere, the most obvious land, seen from Nîmes. Raw and cooked hams and pots of watering cévenols make up the big part of the troupe. The reception depends on the person on whom you fall. But the products are of good quality.

The very good deal of Les Halles in the area of butchery, including a huge selection of beef parts, of the Charolais for the most, to an exceptional price quality ratio. The Dubois butchery also has a small little for the lamb, in all its areas of nobility, but does not hesitate to offer some beautiful calf parts or to offer a breakdown in charcuterie. Probably the cheapest beef roast in the Halles, without losing an ounce of quality. The reception is nice and fast, but attention: On weekends, the queue is rapidly growing before the mass of customers, who often buy meat for the week. So it's better to get up good time.

A little cheaper than Solinas, but also less famous, butchery is, as its name indicates, entirely dedicated to organic meat. The choice is wide, the provenance reported and the service friendly and impeccable. A not to be missed.

At Saïd Kadoori, everything is good and good. Start with customers, always treated well, regardless of the time, by any of the family members. All meat is of French origin, which does not prevent the calf (from Lozere) and the lamb (from Aveyron) from being the best case of the Halles. Herbs or kefta are other treasures of this stall, which are made of pickled skewers as long as the beautiful days appear. An emergency sample: a square of lamb with the kidneys, prepared by the boss's care. A delight for the amateurs.

On foot packets do not devalue its name and treat abats with care, presenting only the best. A great choice and high quality, which also lies in the rest of the offer. There are many yeguada pieces, but sometimes bullfighting in a feria. But Jérôme has more than one rope to his bow: in addition to delicious beef and veal, it offers a large selection of all-more original sausages, such as veal and mozzarella, as well as pork and candied tomatoes. And as the sausages change from day to day, you can spend his summer using the packets without risking monotony. And when you know that in addition, the gate expanded in August 2010 and now proposes a nice choice of homemade sausages ("house", it's Jérôme) of the ham in the bone, rillettes, campagne, black boudin… you don't hesitate anymore, we fonce! It was a good place to stay.

Opened in 2008, this charpentée house came from the shadows to the traditional Daniel. Count 23 € per kilogram of quenelle, but what works of art! Tapenades, roasted peppers, capers, dried or candied tomatoes (yes, it has nothing to do), aux… The choice is wide and the three regular sellers know how to make the product in the shopping cart indispensable. Wide choice of oils.

Four generations of confectioners have succeeded one another to offer you locally produced olives. Master olive confectioner, Daniel is the guarantor of the traditions and know-how linked to the Nîmes products that he offers here with passion. The oil from the Gard is particularly well cared for and all the olives come from the Ateliers du Moulin. Moreover, the control of the taste is systematic so that it preserves all its characteristics. Good tasting !

Traiteur before becoming a delicatessen, Bosc is known mainly for the exceptional preparation of his typical nîmois. Yet it is not the only pleasure of its transverse shelving. The blettes to cream are a treat, the deliciously seasoned tomato aubergines, the tellines garlic-parsley always appear fleshy. And of course, hams are up to the rest. An unbeatable outlet where it makes good to stop.

In terms of green, do not do better at the Halles. The outlet of Cécile and Lucie, offers salads and mescluns without comparisons in the Halles. But it is herbs that the place excels: bouquets of chives, parsley, dill, basil, chervil, tarragon or in, so many possibilities to brighten dishes and salads, make them tasty and colourful. Prices are sometimes high, but the quality is: vegetables and fruit are always either organic or natural local production perfectly selected. Fleshy lawyers, tomatoes, mangoes, tiny turnips, lemons with sheet, leeks and plump rattes will not disappoint you! Put in all the mouths.

Stall is always full of all season early. Listening to his time, Bruno was the first to propose an impressive choice of tomato varieties in the spring: Crimée black, coeur, cerise, cherry and cocktail, cluster, everyone finds their happiness at priceless prices. Part of the stall is devoted to candied fruit, a traditional Provencal tradition, unfortunately not present at the Halles de Nîmes. The choice is vast, the magnificent quality… and prices, as everywhere for this kind of products, sometimes high.

Often throne tranchée and characteristic of swordfish at the beginning of stall. He is obviously not the most represented fish, but he draws the view. The rest is on the line, depending on the arrivals and the large varieties of prices exist between the products. It is, however, the fish bucket that has the most often wild salmon, recognizable to its colour less orange and artificial than that of breeding. Warm welcome, nothing more.

Carmen has no Spanish than the name. She also has the black eye, accent and high verb. But it is only a facade: hardly have you discussed with her that she is revealing, admittedly but smiling. Its large outlet is impressive of variety and tellines; shrimp and the rest are often cheaper than elsewhere. An affordable and friendly fish shop.

In spite of the beautification work and the stall that is now overflowing with the garlic aisle, Mathieu's fish stock content has been reduced significantly in recent years. However, the gate has not lost in quality and remains a benchmark for hospitality. At the time of the arrival, we find everything and always superbly presented. Shellfish and seafood have a large place alongside the best fish of the Mediterranean, of course, but also of the selected ocean arrivals. An irreproachable outlet, easily spotted in the central aisle.

If the reception is typical of the Concurrent Concurrent competitor, the "Kingdom" effectively carries its name: eight varieties of potatoes, a large stall decorated with sweet piments and Lautrec pink garlic, the onion in colorful varieties and lemons. All delivered with speed and attention. To remember that the vulgar "potatoes" book as many variations of taste as the noble tomatoes.

A small outlet but a wide choice for one of the two stalls dedicated to potatoes and onions in Les Halles. The boss, Corsica but nîmois of adoption, has the easy address and the clever eye, and will be happy if you talk to him about car rally, historical version. On the product side, a table reminds you which variety to use for what type of cooking among the four or five proposed. Paille, red or soft onions, shallots and untreated lemons complete the table.

The reference of Italian gastronomy in Nîmes has of course its stall at Les Halles. Unmissable, the space offers all the stars of the laboratory established since 1948 in the city of Antonin: cannelloni, ravioli, tagliatelle, cold cuts, cheeses and varied and tasty antipasti. Depending on the season and the mood, the ravioli change stuffing: with porcini mushrooms, brandade, eggplant.... The welcome is friendly and attentive despite a queue that grows longer during the weekends. An address without equivalent in Nîmes.

The smallest bakery in Les Halles offers a quality bread that is disputed by the Nîmois on holiday days and spring weekends (in large, when they are eager to leave a little of the monotony of daily life). Those days, the queue is long, but amateurs are patient. They know that this is part of the game: the baking smile and the quality of her bread are worth waiting wisely for his turn. The choice of bread and pastries is limited, but the main thing is.

Buying fresh produce, following the seasons, taking the time to chat with producers... Don't miss the Thursday market, where all the specialties of Provence are naturally brought together! The colors, the smells and, above all, the atmosphere. The market offers a wide variety of food products, as well as numerous stalls selling clothes, second-hand goods and other items. Early risers will be able to take home fish straight from the Mediterranean coast and fresh organic fruit and vegetables.

The château produces wines of character shaped by the typical features of the Mediterranean landscape: sun, Rhône and pebbles. A perfect alchemy that has earned the château a place among the Costières region's finest wines. Three or four crus for each range of wines, at unbeatable prices. Signposted trails through the vineyards show the link between terroir and wine aromas. The estate offers winegrower picnics, vineyard aperitifs and tasting workshops with culinary accompaniment.

A dress purple? A good balance? Fresh flavours of red fruits, spices? And why not of English candy! ? I love, I do not like: tasting is a personal adventure: Le Vinorallye, is that. Another way to meet the winemakers who share their passion, their love of the ground: craftsmen of the vineyard. At each place, the chef serves its gourmet dishes to guests and its specialties in agreement with the wines and you are immersed in a friendly, warm, in such unusual places! One evening authentic and fun to discover or rediscover a neighbourhood and to enjoy a wine diversity: 100 of Languedoc. Note that aigues-mortes is also Vinorallye, from May to September.

The cooperative was born 60 years ago out of a desire to produce goat's milk and to pool their resources to transform it. In the Cevennes, goat cheese is king and the cooperative wishes to promote it by combining transmission, quality and economic performance. The milk is collected within a radius of 50 km and many caterers, cheese makers and restaurant owners in the region use La Fromagerie des Cévennes for their business.

Located in a charming village in the middle of nowhere, the Aulas family farm raises and processes ducks and ostriches. The shop, located below the house, is worth a visit: a long vaulted room where boxes of pâtés, rillettes, stuffed necks, foies gras and stuffed aiguillettes, dried duck breast or duck sausages, but also ostrich pâtés and cooked dishes are displayed. The welcome is lovely and you can fill your basket with great pleasure. The open days in the summer are very popular. You get to know the ostriches and llamas.

A family affair. The mountain now has a home in the center of Montferrier. This genuine local shop, run by the friendly Didier and Annick, is located in the building that used to house the tourist office. Here you'll find local, high-quality, responsible artisanal products. It also serves as a bread, newspaper and parcel depot, as well as a bar. It also hosts a number of exhibitions. A great initiative to revive villages that tend to slowly fall asleep.

For four generations, the Saïn family has specialised in the production of green asparagus, kiwis, peaches, nectarines, table grapes (muscat, Alphonse Lavallée and a new variety: Prima). Today, Hervé and Florence, brother and sister, play the diversity card by offering a wide range of local and seasonal products, some of which come from producer friends. Here you will find everything you would expect from your vegetable shop. And not to spoil anything, you will be advised and served with a smile.

Amandine has taken over the reins of the estate and creates magnificent terroir wines, imbued with the salinity of Peyriac de Mer's maritime soils. A visit to her new cellar in the medieval streets of the historic village center is a must! As you taste the wines, you'll hear all about the Corbières, the Mediterranean grape varieties, the history of the area, the influence of the ponds, the winds and the sun... Not to be missed!

Wrapped in attractive stonework, this is a gourmet's haven. As soon as you walk through the door, your mouth waters at the sight of the well-stocked display cases of exceptional cheeses and charcuterie, straight from Italy and Spain. Pecorino, gorgonzola, parmesan and mozzarella cheeses tempt the eye, while pata negra, San Daniele and lardo di Colonnata whet the appetite. You can come and take away, place an order or enjoy catered dishes, sandwiches, homemade lasagne, ravioli, croque-monsieur... on the spot.

Passionate about wine, however, it is in reference to a text by Pierre Autin-Grenier, entitled A glass of black wine, that Jacky Dumouchel chose this name. Its wine cellar is furnished with wines from the region and elsewhere, from AOC and VDP, white and red… Let yourself be guided by this wine lover, who will, of course, make you discover wonders such as the domaine de daurion. A member of «Les Cellars se Libya», it organizes every Thursday evening tasting evenings where new productions are unveiled.

After regaled the taste buds of the inhabitants of Escutcheon for nearly seventeen years, Waucheul pastry bakery installed its furnaces in the area of the Red dawn. For lovers of sweets and other greedy pleasures, the shop does not lack ideas. Simples, the house specialty, offers varieties of pastries. Lovers of light preparations will particularly appreciate the Royal Chocolate or the Coral, a delicious blend of lemon and raspberry flavours.

Jean-Marc Ferret is a professional recognized and praised by the loyalty of his customers. Seventeen kinds of bread, straw mattress, fig bread, Campaillette... The traditional fougasse is excellent, the old cakes, peaches and meringues too. Everything is done here to make your mouth water... and you stay a long time to choose the most appetizing pastry. An excellent address.

The showroom unveils mouth-watering specialities such as ice creams, marrons glacés, sweet and savoury macaroons.

Quite similar to other enseigne hypermarchés, Carrefour Trifontaine presents the disadvantage - or the advantage when you're pressed! - to have a smaller area than its brothers in the agglomeration. As a food and maintenance issue, the choice remains wide enough to satisfy the vast majority of daily needs. However, home and gardening are a little reduced. The store expanded its services, including a photo space in the shopping gallery.

In the center of Aigues-Mortes, in the middle of the busy Rue Emile Zola, stop off at the Fées Café terrace and enjoy a magnificent view of the Tour de Constance. Thanks to artisanal roasting carried out in the workshop-boutique, the waitresses offer a wide choice of quality coffees from a wide range of origins (Ethiopia, Nicaragua, Colombia, etc.), as well as tea and small pastries to enjoy indoors or out. The online store also offers a delivery service.

At the edge of the water, we notice this bakery in front of which there is the queue, and it is often good sign. We discover an address without fuss, movie posters on the walls, ladders filled with large breads. Here, neither baguette nor croissant, but a farandole of bakery delicacies, organic, based on natural leaven and farmers' seeds, sold by weight or by the share. Country bread, multigrain or olive bread, focaccia or pizza, fougasse, brioche or panettone: it's a treat.
