Charcuteries Le Mans

This brand, well known for its rillettes, also offers products such as sausages, andouillettes, pâtés and meat. You'll find their products in all your supermarkets and supermarkets. French origin guaranteed for all products, the brand works in partnership with some forty local breeders. Their website features easy-to-make recipes: will you be tempted by a rillettes omelette or a rillettes tart, to name but a few?

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.
