Super Cafoutch is the cooperative supermarket from Mars. Cafoutch is a small storage room where you can put everything and anything. From the Marseilles expression, the association develops a consumer cooperative. To consume yes, but differently: quality products, local and accessible for all. The model is inspired by the Park Slope Food Coop created in 1973 in New York. To consume, you have to be a member; the cooperators each hold one or more shares in the supermarket and decide together. It is also a participatory supermarket: each cooperator devotes three hours per month to various tasks such as cashiering, stocking shelves, ordering, etc. The project is also social: finding everything at Super Cafoutch and cheaper than elsewhere, consuming locally and responsibly (99% organic and local products). The baskets are prepared under our eyes, we exchange, we discuss, we share. Meetings are organized once a month: find the dates in the agenda on the website. The cooperative hopes to find a place very soon in the city center. A great idea!

A superb store with its small table d'hôte in the background. On the stalls, only good things!

Without forgetting Daily Pic, the dishes of the chef Anne-Sophie Pic at your reach!

The little biscuitier here is Romain!

Everything is made in the traditional way, and the ingredients are chosen with the greatest care. You can sample them as you stroll the streets of Toulon, order a boxed set as a gift, or indulge in a few savoury aperitif cookies, crackers or breadsticks.

At Francette, it is a very personal success story. Marion's, who has been through various and varied horizons, including a job at the Halles Bocuse in Lyon.

Somewhat difficult to find, it is true, in these alleys, the discovery of the shop is nevertheless a pleasure. We appreciate a selection of products directly imported from the regions, delicatessen products from Provence, Larzac cheeses, eggs and a beautiful loaf of bread in the middle of this area, right next to fruits and vegetables. Here no packaging, only bulk, organic and it's better that way. Thank you! Thank you!
