Gourmet products local specialties and wines Pont-Audemer

Every week, two markets are held in the centre of Pont-Audemer. The Monday morning market is the most comprehensive, selling not only food, but also clothing, beauty products and even toys. The Friday morning market is entirely devoted to food! Whichever day you choose, you'll be able to buy everything that makes up Normandy's rich culinary heritage: cheese, of course, but also butter and the famous Pommeau de Normandie, which was born here.

The address is a magnet for gourmets! Olivier Deschamps, pastry chef, chocolate maker and candy maker, offers delicious sweets like the famous mirliton, a local specialty created by Guillaume Tirel, known as Taillevent, cook to the kings of France Charles V and Charles VI, and author of the first French cookbook in 1340, Le Viandier. The mirliton comes in the form of a cigarette pastry filled with praline mousse and closed with dark chocolate at both ends. Delicious!

Here you have to go to find (among others…) the delicious cheese that bears the name of the city, but also of cider, pommel, Calvados or milk jam. You can also know that here you are gently offered a few cheeses to discover, among other products.

Rooted in tradition since its foundation in 1952, Boulangerie Lepenant is a true local institution. This family-run establishment, passed from hand to hand over six decades, continues to delight its regulars with its breads, viennoiseries and, above all, the famous mirliton, the town's unmissable specialty. Under Nicolas's leadership, the bakery embodies artisanal excellence, with a focus on quality and authentic taste. With the aim of perpetuating its know-how, the team lives to the rhythm of workshops and meetings with customers.

Since December 2020, in the heart of Pont-Audemer, La Cave de Tom has been welcoming wine lovers, as well as beer, champagne, and other spirits enthusiasts. The attractive 140^m2 boutique features dozens of wooden crates, in which the various spirits are attractively displayed, sold at frankly reasonable prices. A true place of exchange and conviviality, this cellar is the very first to reach the city centre, showcasing France's alcoholic terroirs. A must for those who want to treat themselves or others.
