Nicole Boulet, recently joined by Jocelyne Didou, chose in 1999 to raise 60,000 petit gris snails on her farm. She also grows her own vegetables and fruit to make her own organic products. Of course, there is the traditional snail for the holidays, but also a whole range of snailines for the aperitif. We recommend the recipe with lentils from Saint-Flour to garnish cherry tomatoes. A must visit (by appointment)!

Jean and Jeremy run a store dedicated to 100% ethical products for the aperitif. Their commitment: to offer quality products, to favor organic, reasoned, local or at least French products. You can buy peanuts in bulk, spreads, chips from Aveyron, lemonades from Vercors... but also wines, beers and spirits. The two companions propose trays to compose with cheeses, delicatessen, dried fruits and chips, nicely presented in big spruce boxes made for them by a craftsman of the Jura.

François Pralus has opened a beautiful boutique in Saint-Etienne with a burgundy front. You don't know him yet?

The Pralus family owns cacao tree plantations in the north-west of Madagascar and makes chocolates from grand cru cacao to be enjoyed in the form of bars or fancy chocolates. A real delight...

Brasserie Distillerie Veyrat is the union of two enthusiasts: Manu, who makes his beers with organic hops and barley grown on the Marcellaz-Albanais farm, and Aline, a sportswoman with a passion for the mountains. Futé awards them all the medals, plus the 2 new ones won in 2024 at the Concours Général Agricole for their "Divine" winter brown ale and their Gin Alpin. Another delight: their workshops. Make your own Gin, visit the brewery or distillery and taste the cheeses that go with the beers and spirits..

The adage "from the field to the plate" takes on its full meaning at the Ferme des Blés d'Or thanks to Noël Lafertin, farmer and baker. Nono's bread is the fruit of the work of this lover of old-fashioned bread. A divine bread and for good reason, since the cereals grown with love are harvested here, crushed and then transformed into crunchy bread. Long loaves, baguettes, plain or special, Nono's breads have their fans who flock to the bakery on the rare days it is open. Don't miss the famous apple pie either!

The large window opening onto the street is a real eye-catcher. Behind it are breads, cakes and pastries. The long line that regularly snakes around the front is worthy of all the gastronomic reviews. The opening of the outlet is a renaissance and an opportunity for the bakery to develop its own creations, such as petit paillasse with wild garlic, or bread made with sourdough and organic (low-gluten) petit épeautre flour. Upstairs is a pastry-making laboratory, which now takes pride of place among the artisan breads.

If the diversity of local products found there (honey, sausage, lentils, eggs, craft beer, etc.) could allow us to qualify this cheese shop as a grocery store, it is indeed the cheese that is at the centre of attention and for good reason. Lizette has been working with cheese since she was 16 years old and she knows her stuff. Her advice is accurate and valuable, her explanations are clear and she never hesitates to offer a little tasting.

Recently repainted in purple, a discreet reminder of the colour of chocolate, with the portrait of the founder at the back of the shop, this shop was awarded a prize in the 2011 commerce design competition. In 1912, he invented the famous chocolate square, to be served near a café. Chocolate to cook, or to taste, in bars or already prepared, to offer or to indulge oneself: chocolate cat tongues, cream sticks, palets, chocolate discs, nougastelles, nougamadines or orangettes.
