You visit the centre of Saint Nazaire. After turning on the roof of the submarine base, it is imperative to have the curiosity to walk underneath and to push the door of a small glass shop full of articles. Here, we are in the heart of Brittany, the store is full of regional products books, Cds, postcards, but also crockery, products from the peninsula, Sel salt, salt flower, salicornes, but also traditional violin instruments. Who said that Saint-Nazaire was not in Brittany? Annie, the owner will advise you, she knows perfectly about her subject. Ask him for a record of the famous Kemper de Saint-Nazaire.

Not far from the remains of the ramparts and Anne de Bretagne's castle, just opposite the cathedral, is the red front of La Trinitaine in Nantes. In this store, where the wood of the beams rubs shoulders with the stone of the granite pillars, it's a veritable paradise for gourmets and lovers of the Breton terroir. You'll find a wide variety of both savory and sweet Breton specialties, from the Pointe du Raz to the Pays nantais. With, for example, those beautiful colored or painted boxes that our grandmothers used to grab from the buffet at coffee time, and which contain the tasty, and famous, Breton butter galettes. But galettes aren't the only thing on La Trinitaine's shelves: kouign-amann, sablés, madeleines... In 2023, try the vanilla, raspberry and chocolate trinibeurre. But also confectionery: berlingots nantais, salted butter caramels, Salidou cream, Coucougnettes (roasted almonds) or Niniches (Quiberon lollipops). On the savoury side, it's all about gourmet ideas, with a wide choice of preserves and other preparations (tuna, sardines) as well as fish soups, products from Belle Iloise or Guérande salt, buckwheat potato chips, Crousti Breizh, or buckwheat caramel. A corner is devoted to drink specialties: nantillais, cider, chouchen, pommeau, liqueurs and beers. Fine jams are also featured, with Bois Jumel and other delicious flavors. And don't forget the beautiful tins and new boxes designed by B. Morinay. Last but not least, admire the earthenware tableware and textiles featuring the famous Bécassine.
