The best regional grocery stores New Aquitaine

La Botiga of Maison Pélégris in Sarlat is both a delicatessen and a tasting place. One comes to taste the famous croustous, to share, between friends, a plate of the products which proposes the store: duck breasts, semi-cooked foie gras, rillettes, dried duck breasts with foie gras, saltings, preserves, etc. As the market takes place just in front of the store, we enjoy ourselves.

The afternoon is studious: learning truffle-based recipes with the chef. Again, dinner tasting. On Sundays, a little exercise with a hike in the truffle fields and the search for the rare pearl. Come on, one more lunch... and you'll have the week to eliminate! A comparable formula exists for duck cooking.
