Gourmet products local specialties and wines Le Boulou

The best fish market in the world! This is how the magazine L'Express described it in an article it devoted to it. Known throughout the department and also in southern Catalonia, this family business has no equal when it comes to the quality and freshness of its seafood. We're not even talking about the stalls, which are as beautiful as flower arrangements. It's like being in an aquarium! This wide variety of fresh and beautiful products is accompanied by a constant concern for the respect of marine resources and the environment.

On the rambla, Annie Parayre opens the doors of her store imagined and reinvented in the meanders of the rooms of the old family house. She promises us an enchanting moment to discover unusual, futile or useful objects. She dedicates her activity to the art of the table, interior and garden decoration and to the world of childhood. The kitchen has been transformed into a small tea room where a cosy atmosphere welcomes you for tea tasting and excellent cookies. This store is a place of sharing with warm and generous exchanges.

The Vignerons du Vallespir is a group of 70 winegrowers who have adhered to the values of cooperation since 1949. The vineyard extends from Céret at the gates of Vallespir to Le Boulou and includes some villages in the Aspres at the foot of the Albères. This variety of terroir can be found in the wines, which range from the fruitiest to the most robust. In summer, special tastings are organized as well as a village market in the streets of Le Boulou on Thursday and Sunday mornings.

In the artisanal zone of Le Boulou, no less than 450^m2 of surface are dedicated to organic agriculture. The team has focused on local farmers and seasonal products (not many tomatoes or peppers in winter!). In addition to fruit and vegetables, eco-products (rice, pasta...) and cosmetics, you will find a well-stocked butcher's shop and a creamery, and good references in local wines. As in all Biocoop stores, the welcome is very warm, the staff is nice, always a bit alternative and very qualified when it comes to advising you.
