Gourmet products local specialties and wines Pays De La Loire

A former baker who spent twenty years in the bank, Guy Bouvet well deserved his nickname: " The Italian on the rue des Déportés ", report to the delicious dishes that this friendly craftsman sells and prepares since 1992 in a Casa that cannot leave any indifferent palate… We think of pizza, necessarily, but also of filled lasagna, triangolis (triangular ravioli, you guessed), fresh pasta, brioches… Not forgetting all products coming from the country: hams of Parma and San Daniele, salami of Abbruze and Brianzolini, mozarella milk, tiramisu, bottles of marsala and Chianti… So many wonders and sweets that the chef likes to praise while he is cutting them and wrapping them up with a slow pace of another age (pressed, abstain!) and a quasi-religious respect…

Mathieu, creamer-cheesemaker, and Nicolas, farmer-cheesemaker at the Bois Joubert farm in the Marais de Brière, opened their store in April 2022 in the Copernic district. In the window of Racines, passers-by can contemplate the range of cheeses maturing in their cellar: Basque ewe's milk tommes, abondance fermier, gouda mayennais, Ronde des Marais, Sort-Palud... Cheese nuggets made from organic raw milk of local breeds, delivered directly from the farms. You can also find Gwell, a Breton dairy speciality, as well as Corsican bruccio, in season. Mathieu and Nicolas pass on their passion and their wise advice for the choice of wines and ciders. There are also some great finds in the grocery store.

Dreaming of a creamery in the heart of Vertou? They've done it! Since January 2021, your wish has been granted by Frédéric. This former sales manager found that there was a shortage of cheese shops in his home town, so he gave up his job to set up his own cheese shop. A team joined him in this adventure. And it's with passion and enthusiasm that the two of them welcome you to this pretty place with its whitewashed beams and exposed brickwork enhanced by a touch of celadon. Let us advise you on a range of classic and lesser-known cheeses, such as Comté 18/23 months, Blue Shropshire, farmhouse Mothais and a delicious homemade creamy Burgundy made with Brillat-Savarin and truffles. Those with a sweet tooth will be delighted by Bordier yoghurts or the famous rice pudding from Éclats de riz. Of course, a selection of wines, beers, arranged rums, ciders and fruit juices is available to accompany your choice of cheeses. But also organic farm eggs, sausages and delicatessen products. A great initiative that promotes local products!

France's leading franchised network of local wine shops, with over 150 franchisees, Cavavin was founded in 1985 by Michel Bourel in La Baule, France, with the opening of a first wine cellar and the creation of a partnership with other wine shops, before becoming a franchisee in 1996.

Ivan Garber has taken his marks at the bottom of the Talensac market. And who says young generation, also says novelties. New desires to treat seafood lovers. Ivan has specialized in fish called Ikejime. In fact, it is a Japanese method of slaughter, with a quick "sleep" to not stress the fish (or remove the nervous awareness) before working it. Taste, quality and preservation of the product are enhanced. Ivan gets his supplies from different fish markets: Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie, Les Sables-d'Olonne, Royan. His idea? To make people rediscover the different ways of eating good fish, locally and also to discover tasty varieties sometimes unknown to the general public. Cooked or raw fish for sushi or ceviche lovers. Here no "fish tail" but very wise advice!

The beautiful pastry shops and tea rooms in Nantes are on the rise! What a pleasure to discover the one of the two sisters, Marion and Margaux Vanneste, the creators of Rosemary "salon de pâtisserie" at 1 minute from the place Viarme. Rue des Hauts pavés more and more greedy... With, in particular, its nice restaurants... Margaux, the pastry chef trained at Anne-Sophie Pic's in London! amazes us with her creativity and sublime pastries! Everything is 100% handmade. We love the creations sublimated with aromatic herbs and spices, their signature... As for Marion, she is in charge of the reception, the sale (she has worked for Vincent Guerlais) and the running of this succulent pastry shop. You can also stop for a hot or cold drink in the small tea room. Taste the specialties! The Rosemary's, the lemon and rosemary pie revisited, where it all began... Crack for the Pavé Nantais: a wink to the street, a chocolate dessert with different textures (Guanaja chocolate mousse, almond hazelnut praline, crunchy coating...). Let's go for the buckwheat Paris-Brest, the fabulous choux, the Pavlova Citrus or the Baba Corse. Finally, we love the sweets of the delicatessen to take away (Pamplemousettes, fine cookies, chocolate bars, beggars, spreads). The place is greedy as one pleases! You must run to discover it.

A butchery-butchery in the centre of Purple. At Jerome and Laura, it's Laura who takes care of the grocery and Jérôme of the butchery.

At 1 minute of the traffic circle of the Belle Étoile, place called Les Briords (direction Carquefou) there is a mental health establishment named Psy' Activ. Here, organic vegetables and fruits are produced. They also cook them to find them in the plates served in the restaurant Terre Happy. We also find plants and flowers to decorate houses and gardens. The difference is that the market gardeners and horticulturists are all patients of the hospital who are engaged in a course of treatment and social and professional rehabilitation. You can come and buy their produce (in the adjacent store) and even - from April to October - pick your own strawberries. In addition, the site has a Terre Happy vocational rehabilitation restaurant. There again, the patients are in charge of the kitchen and the dining room, and there is a second site, La Mainguais, where sewing, laundry, carpentry and stone cutting services are offered. Calling on Psy' Activ is above all a gesture of solidarity.

If Nantes is famous for its Curé nantais, Couëron is especially famous for its tome! The famous "La Tome de Couëron" cheese was created in 1994 by Jean-Paul Rivière. At the end of this year, Delphine and Alexis have taken over his legacy. In their workshop in Couëron, they make and mature for a month this artisan cheese made from raw cow's milk, salted with Guérande salt. Every morning, the milk comes from a local farm for an authentic product. They offer cheese lovers a choice of a dozen flavors, including plain tome, muscadet, bruschetta, wild garlic, pepper, beer, cumin... There's something for everyone! You'll find Tome de Couëron on sale directly from the workshop, as well as in the cheese sections of stores around Nantes.

Vincent Touzet is a butcher who is happy to do his job. He chose it late in life, after a career in the meat trade. But the desire for a manual trade, promoting local products, caught up with him. With a butcher's CAP in his pocket, he set up on his own in the Talensac market. His butcher's shop stands out for its unique know-how and the products it offers. Here, we buy raw carcasses, which are then carefully detailed in the authentic manner of the butchers of yesteryear. Want to travel and discover new tastes? Don't hesitate to sample our various Label Rouge-guaranteed meats: Blonde d'Aquitaine beef, Périgord veal, Pays d'Oc lamb, Bigorre black pork, organic turkey and suckling lamb.

This tiny market has more than one trump card in its bag. First of all, it's 100% organic. It has been in place for about ten years and brings together 15/20 producers and traders. There are of course fruit and vegetable producers, but also butchers, pork butchers, fishmongers, cow and goat cheese producers, bakers, not forgetting winemakers and other local craftsmen making jams or herbal teas... As a bonus, a sweet smell of pancakes and take-away cakes floats in the air... Then, this small market is installed on the car park of the port of Trentemoult. That is to say at the entrance of a "postcard" village which is characterised by its pretty colourful houses and its banks of the Loire. Finally because the atmosphere is good-natured. Attended by Trentemousins and onlookers, one feels good there. One comes there on foot or by bike along the river or by Navibus if one lives on the other bank. We make a stop at the Café of the nearby port to drink a small coffee. We walk along the Quai Boissard to admire Roman Signer's Pendulum, a contemporary work of art created as part of the Voyage à Nantes (2009). In short, we take the time to stroll on a Saturday morning.

The chef (François Godineau of La Duchesse Anne) develops his desires for the greatest pleasure of gourmets. A brand new bakery welcomes, on the spot and to take away, an avalanche of fresh products from the best producers. Traditional breads and baguettes, blond, golden or brown, which one will you choose? The bakery also makes crepes, doughnuts, shortbread, pastries and other seasonal delicacies, as well as a tea room, of course. The establishment offers many lunch formulas. Here, everything is delicious!

It is first of all for his baguette, the famous "Bagatelle" Label rouge, that we push the door of the baker of St JO. Sylvain Pasquier, for more than 11 years, has been our very own Marcel Pagnol in this renovated village of St JO. The bakery (ex-Fournil de St Jo) has moved 20 meters away in bright and brand new spaces on rue Barbara. 150 bakers in France offer this Bagatelle recipe and Sylvain is one of them! Natural leaven, slow kneading, traceability... all the ingredients are gathered to make an exceptional traditional baguette. It is in the same spirit that Sylvain elaborates his other breads. His 2 kilo wheel cake made in the old fashioned way is a great success. Wrapped in a cloth, it keeps for a week. His buckwheat bread and his bread with olive oil are also very popular. New: organic breads have made their appearance for our happiness with the big spelt or the organic wholemeal bread. As for the pastries and cakes, they are still 100% homemade with delicious croissants to start the day. The beautiful creations vary according to the season and are tempting. The Saint-Jo (cake with three chocolates), the kouign-amann, the small soft pastries, and many other sweets to enjoy. At lunchtime, a wide choice of classic or more original sandwiches made with chicken or beef marinades will delight people passing through or from the neighborhood. Let's go for gourmet snacks in the Roseraie and Beaujoire parks, before or after a nice stroll along the banks of the Erdre river, so close. Note the warm welcome and the free parking right next to the church whose bells ring out the hour of the snack!

Fiala Marée is a beautiful fish shop located in the vibrant Thébaudières district of Saint-Herblain. Behind the black facade, we dive into a part of the ocean. Guillaume Fial and Cindy, his wife, are at the head of this pretty establishment with its chic front and beautiful black façade. The young fishmonger knows both his trade and his products, he who has made his mark for years on the markets of the West, located in the different departments of Loire-Atlantique, Morbihan and Deux-Sèvres. In the Poissonnerie Fiala, you will not find imported fish, nor fish from the farm. The freshest products come from the fish auction in Lorient and the MIN in Nantes. To us red mullet, monkfish, scallops, oysters, mussels, squid....

The Oldü bakery opened in September 2022 in the Cens district under Ludo's leadership. He was awarded second prize in 2023 for his frangipane galette in the Loire-Atlantique best galette des rois competition. And his croissants won^1st prize from the Fédération des artisans boulangers the same year. We love Petit Oldü, a traditional bread that reinvents itself every day of the week. A nod is made to the grandfather with Papi Marcel's pie. The pastries are delicious, with numerous éclairs, not forgetting chocolate-hazelnut, caramel or raspberry-mango-passion fingers. As for flour, Label Rouge is used for traditional bread, while organic flour is used for other breads. Organic wholemeal bread, Pierrot bread..., everything here is gourmet!

Nous anti-gaspi Mercoeur is the second outlet in Nantes with the one on rue Pitre Chevalier. A brand born in Rennes in 2018. Stéphane and his team of heroic grocers save 60 tons of produce from waste every month! Ugly but still good vegetables, smoked trout with a label but too small, brioche vendéenne a little overcooked, run there to save them. Everything is sold here: fresh produce, rusks, cheese, ham scraps, chocolate, household products... From unsold produce to short use-by dates, we make the most of it. Our anti-gaspi approach is good for the wallet (on average, products are sold for 20% less) and good for the planet!

This essential chocolate maker has 4 other brands in the Vendée and its Chocolate Museum in La Roche-sur-Yon. Gelencser chocolates are among the best in the Vendée.

Among the flagship chocolates: flavoured or pure ganaches, orange aiguillettes, florentines, mendiants, the Vendée heart, dried fruit tablets, spreadable paste? Cakes, mainly chocolate-based, are a delight, as are chocolate verrines and macaroons. An institution!

Nicola Karpoff welcomes you to her marine farm which includes 3 activities: breeding of the imperial shrimp (gambas), artisanal harvesting of salt, and salicornia, which is eaten as a vegetable or condiment, the "growth" of oysters in claires. Oysters with a unique particular taste, due to the clay basins. Did you know that prawns are produced in France, in the marshes of the Atlantic? The first prawns are marketed from mid-August to mid-November, and production is limited, so hurry if you want to taste these extra quality products.

The work of Véronique Günther-Chéreau and her daughter Aurore respects nature, and their integrated approach to viticulture tends towards an organic approach to their soils and vines, some of which are hundreds of years old. Situated at the confluence of the Sèvre and Maine rivers, the hillside terroirs bring finesse and minerality to their Muscadet. Château du Coing develops sustainable viticulture on its 75 hectares of vines, home to the Burgundy melon. It's the diversity of their terroirs, their passion and their know-how that enable them to produce a wide range of quality muscadets that surprise with their ageing potential and fruity, floral flavours. Among the wide range of quality muscadets, the 4 crus communaux Chateau-Thébaud, La Haye-Fouassière, Gorges and Monnières Saint-Fiacre, are terroir muscadets with several years' ageing on lees, the Perles fines : traditional method with delicate aromas, Audace du Coing harvested when overripe with ripe fruit aromas, muscadet aged in new oak barrels with buttery, fruity aromas. A wine to savor! It's worth noting that this dynamic duo is one of the few female vineyard managers in the Nantes region. It's the ideal place for a visit followed by a tasting, or even a reception in a prestigious setting. Come and enjoy the winegrowers' aperitifs in fine weather!

Cime is the ambitious project of Esther and Gregory. The three friends and associates chose this evocative name and the hot-air balloon that represents the brand because they intend to take you on a journey over the mountains and volcanoes whose slopes are ideal for growing coffee. This is Nantes' first artisanal specialty coffee roaster. In this pretty coffee workshop, the beans of prestigious Arabicas are selected with the utmost attention to quality, freshness and respect for producers and the environment. Sacks of green coffee occupy the back of the establishment, coming from Rwanda, Bolivia, Panama, Honduras, Ethiopia, El Salvador... thanks to the shortest possible circuits. And it's the Giesen roaster who roasts the beans in a way that's adapted to each production: the coffee beans gain in volume, lose their moisture, release their aromas... The beans are then left to rest for 24 hours to allow the gases to evaporate. This artisanal roasting process produces coffees of the highest quality, with transparent traceability from producer to cup. The coffees are sold as beans or ground to order, and are also available to catering professionals: Meraki and Arlot Cheng have already adopted them. Each coffee is accompanied by an explanatory sheet to learn more about its identity, profile and origin: for example, Finca El Encino from Honduras seduces with its milky texture and chocolate-hazelnut notes. Or Karambi from Rwanda, whose sweetness underlines its citrus notes. El Salvador's Divina Bourbon, whose natural drying process reveals notes of honey and caramel, will also surprise you. Tasting workshops are organized around the adobe Cupping Table where you can sample the coffee: first observe it, then smell it in its different forms: bean, ground, wet, before breaking it, then tasting it. Attentive to its structure, its density, its bitterness, its sweetness, its finish, we discover coffee in a new light thanks to Cime. A second address opened at 4, rue Santeuil in August 2023.

In 2017, cellar master Benoît Chaigneau founded Distiloire, an artisanal spirits producer that makes Gin 1924, Pastis Meskad and Vermouth Douce Folie from local wines. Some of the plants are organically grown and sourced locally (Val de Loire), and the alchemy occurs to create authentic spirits with a flavor far removed from that of industrial beverages. While gin is essentially made from juniper berries, coriander seeds, angelica root and chamomile, pastis features no less than twenty plants, including the essential licorice and anise, as well as Tonka bean, cardamom, Sichuan pepper, lemon balm and thorn shoots, a nod to its Vendée origins. Benoît is the only professional to produce these beverages in the department, and one of only a handful in the West. Now certified organic, the passionate cellar master won two prizes at the Concours aénéral Agricole Paris 2020: gold for Gin 1924 and silver for Pastis Meskad. The latest award: Spiced Rhum 5.5.

They produce quality beers in blond, amber and brown versions, in a range of sizes, made from quality cereals and named after marshland birds (Avocette, Blue Throat), because here the notion of preserving nature is paramount. Returnable bottles.

Jean-Noël, Annick, René, Vianney, Alice and Christian have combined their skills and their love of the land. They raise organic ducks, which they offer in fillets, aiguillettes, legs and sleeves. Vianney and Alice raise chickens and guinea fowl and offer eggs. Frédéric raises cows and offers steak, rump steak, tournedos, entrecotes, sausages, brochettes and minced steak. Jean-Noël is the market gardener of the group. While Nathalie and Frédéric prepare excellent fresh dairy products: plain and flavoured yoghurts, fromage blanc, faisselle.
