The best grocery stores New Aquitaine

Nothing predestined Joan Lartigau to sell hams and products from the Basque Country, as he was an agricultural engineer by training. What pushed him: his origins in the Landes and Basque Country, his love of good products from the South-West. People come to his store for his Basque and Iberian hams, his charcuterie and his preserves. Joan Lartigau has opened a cellar and a delicatessen section filled with good products: caviar, truffles, porcini mushrooms, foie gras, salmis of pigeon, lamprey or sturgeon à la bordelaise, Basque cakes, ewe's milk cheese.

At Balme, truffles are a family affair that began over a century ago in the Vaucluse region.
