Counsel: test the Caramiel… a true caramel and honey delight.

An out-of-the-way store with a reputation that knows no local boundaries. Here, you can be sure of fresh fish, shellfish and crustaceans. For restaurateurs, wholesale is also assured. The address is so well known that you may find yourself queuing once to be served, and a second time to pay at the counter (especially on weekends). It's a time investment you'll be rewarded for, firstly by watching the staff prepare a fish at breakneck speed, and secondly by eating your seafood - and that's what it's all about. During the festive season, the seafood platters (composed or to be composed) attract even more people, and are the best in town. You'll also find fresh vegetables and, above all, organic lemons and white wine. Last but not least, we also sell our products at 8 markets in Mance: on Fridays at Place Washington, on Saturdays at Cité des Pins and on Sundays at Jacobins and Pontlieue.

It's a long storefront with four arches, where customers come and go at all hours, either on the bakery side or the sandwich side. This Panetière is, in fact, divided into two parts: one for a quick stop-off to buy a baguette for lunch or a chocolate pastry for a snack, and the other for a quick sandwich and a lunch menu with a drink and dessert. An informal and practical address, a stone's throw from the tramway station and Les Cinéastes art cinema.

The clientele is and causes: the large bakery all decorated with a strategic place in the middle of the breweries, and especially right in front of Gare Nord. But especially bread, crispy, is made and cooked on-site; The pastries are divine and the little sweets and creams to bite on the thumb between noon and two are worth the detour. And if you're thirsty, you're also selling fresh drinks. A very good address.

Specialized in food supplements and organic cosmetics, this La Vie Claire shop also offers everything you need to take care of your body and your health. You will of course find organic fruits and vegetables, a grocery corner, but it is in the natural health and beauty departments that you are likely to spend the most time. The good health of your body is not only explained by the contents of your plates, it is the good place and the good time to think of coating you with cosmetics, a useful trade.

This little rue du Cornet has a lot of fun spots: The Wine Bar, we come to offer wine, and above all enjoy the knowledge of the excellent professional who keeps the place, and finally to sit around barrels, drink a drink or eat a tasty piece. You have a huge panel of wines to discover: from the Pays de la Loire, but not only from Burgundy wine and from Languedoc… Once a year, enjoy the early offer, you will make sacred savings. For those who are looking for oenology courses, it is also the threshold of the Wine Bar that must be crossed, since regularly (at least once a month) theme evenings are organized, during which one can discover wines, taste them, all being animated by outside people whose job it is. Excellent moments in perspective!

You know nothing about wine, have no idea what to pair with a leg of lamb or what to serve as an aperitif. Let the specialists at chez Nicolas, a national brand specializing in wines and spirits, guide you. If you're a wine connoisseur, you can also turn to this brand to find a few attractively priced bottles for your guests. In either case, the professionalism of the Nicolas team will help you. And the wide range of prices will seduce your wallet. For a more elegant table setting, take a look at our range of wine accessories: stop-drop pourers, carafes and corkscrews.

Right in the center of town, a traditional delicatessen par excellence. L'Épicerie Buissonnière prides itself on selling the best of the French gastronomic tradition, as well as Italian, Greek, English and Spanish products: Kusmea Tea, gingerbread, calissons, terrines, wine, nougat, fruit jellies, jams, spices, fruit juices... and a few organic products. All are traditional and respect a certain art of living. Depending on the season or time of year, you'll find certain products: fresh truffles, Alsatian pretzels, Basque cakes, fresh foie gras, and so on. A little further down the store, there's a small display case with a few goodies for you to sample. And if you're on the lookout, there's sometimes a good bottle of liqueur right next to it. What's more, the welcome is excellent. An address to keep if you want to stock up on good products.

Historically, this little shop competed for a long time with its rival Gasnier, located closer to Pontlieue's «moon» (that is, the place). However, she continues to sell the best ham in the neighborhood. And the pizzas and laminated on the windows compete with the beautiful charcuterie and the good blocks on your left. To complete your meal at the last minute, some cans are also offered. No big surprise, therefore, coming to buy here: It's traditional charcuterie, with very good products.

Almost an institution in the Pontlieue district. If you can get past an ostentatiously commercial welcome, this plush boutique deserves it. Prepared dishes don't age in the window, and pâtés and andouilles don't dry out on their slices. People come here for the classic, well-crafted recipes (all charcuterie is made from free-range pigs), but you won't find any pâté with trumpets of death or Marsala sausage. The andouille has a real tripe taste, the smokiness of the garlic sausage is perfectly balanced, and the ham makes you want to eat it more often. Mr Gasnier's rillettes have won several medals at the Mamers competition.

The history of L'Atelier du Chocolat goes back to 1951 with Joseph and Madeleine Andrieu. Their son, Serge, took over the store in 1982, and in 1995 created the atelier-boutiques and bouquets de chocolats (assortments of chocolate leaves) that make the brand so original. One of the flagship products? Feuillants d'or. These are broken crêpes dentelles mixed with an almond and hazelnut praline. Hmm... you could eat a whole box of them! You should also try chocolate with chilli in bars or bite-size pieces, or with caramelized hazelnuts. You can also be tempted by a box of assortments or a magnificent gift box. L'Atelier du Chocolat also offers rochers, shortbread, medals and chocolate plaques. A formidable address for gourmands!

We pass the threshold of this corner shop, with, in mind, the project to organize a rillettes evening, since they are here well known. And then, there are all these plump birds that we let grow and grow! You are here for poultry and game specialists. But not only: beef comes directly from the farm, the insurance of quality meat. You will also be hesitating at all these starters and dishes dishes. It's you who see. Also think of this address for your guests: possibility of cold buffets, with a wine proposal.

A jewel box for jewels! This new patisserie is the epitome of refinement. You'll fall head over heels in love with the beautiful little cakes! It has to be said that Julien Herman is an artist pastry chef who worked in the kitchens of great chefs before opening this house in Le Mans, which is a real treat for the taste buds. From breakfast to tearoom to lunch in jars, it's a no-brainer. On the shelves: finger caramel peanut, strawberry vanilla cabbage and many others, including our two favorites, one with black sesame, the other with yuzu.
