For 30 years, of which 21 passed at the chai Saint-Hilaire, Philippe Favreau is a passionate wine dealer. Of those with whom time passes decisively too fast. Entering the Chai Saint-Hilaire is the assurance of an exciting journey. The lovely walk to the country of wine is first visual. Shelves alone are worth a visit. The vintages invite us to discover them. By searching well, we find exceptional wines such as a Château Margaux 1985, a Lafite Rothschild 1979 or 1983, or a Yquem 1995. Philippe Favreau can even offer real hidden treasures, namely old vintages from 1865 to 1990. If you prefer cheaper wines - so cheaper, some are accessible to less than 4 € - but just as delicious, trust the tensioner of the place. Every Monday, he travels the vineyards in search of new nectars that he then hastens to discover. We should add to all this: a promotion every month, a delivery service starting at 50 € of purchase, organic products and a rich palette of rare foreign wines. So if you are looking for a wine to marry with your meal, or if you want to taste a good wine, don't hesitate Philippe.

It is around the love of cooking, gastronomy and also the aesthetics surrounding the art of the table, which met Isabelle and Mathieu. Fresh and seasonal products, classic classics and original creations, HMC Caterer offers a collection of delicacies, dishes, desserts and buffets. For professionals and individuals, whether for an intimate event or a public event, chefs will adjust their cuisine according to your desires and needs.

Blandine and Laurent Cathala know how to pamper the gourmets in all of us. In their workshop-boutique, our senses are on the alert. In the windows, treasures to savor. Colorful macaroons in original flavors (lavender-honey or angelica), tempting pastries with chocolate, fruit... and why not both? Here, gourmandise is made up of small and large pleasures that change with the seasons. Nothing is off-limits, not even ice creams, chocolate bars and bonbons with grand cru, infused ganaches and pralines.

All the Niortais will recommend it. This cellar is unanimous for its professional advice and for its hospitality. Located in the Two-Sèvres, and therefore just steps from the Charente, you will find beautiful references of cognac.

At the Rosette des Prés, quality is the main priority. The products offered by Monsieur Chouc come from the Fenioux pig farm: the animals are reared in the open air, in full compliance with the Bleu Blanc Coeur Label specifications, with pigs fed on cereals, vegetable proteins and linseed which promote the intake of omega 3. The pork meats are made in the traditional way, in the respect of the cooking of the pig of yesteryear (stewed). Seven sales outlets are available under the L'heure du marché brand.

The Huvelin family business has been shining with its creations since 1963. A total of 59 types of chocolate bonbons, bouchées, tablettes, "carrés origines", pralines, ganaches and a hint of Pamplie salted butter, all prepared by hand. The establishment also works with the emblematic angelica, in its candied version, in jams, compotes and liqueurs obtained by maceration. What can I say? Oh yes, it's a Niort landmark: a visit is a must!

This Intermarché is a human-sized supermarket and is large enough to shop for a whole week. Prices are low and there is plenty of time for promotions on many items. The supermarket includes hardware shelves, small crockery, clothes, Cds and toys. Some items are available only during their season of use (such as summer chairs in summer, not worth searching for them in winter).

At Thonnard, we have specialized for ages in the cultivation and processing of angelica. The liqueur herb, a true specialty of Niort, is enjoyed in syrup, jam, candied fruit or cream. The house chocolates with angelica are very famous. The institution opens the doors of its production site in Niort (and its store) to individuals and groups, visits followed by a tasting session. We advise you to try it at least once!

The store offers a wide selection of beers, wines, whiskies and rums, with over 1,000 references available. Customers can make their purchases in-store or choose the in-store collection option. The store also offers a number of services, such as beer taps for private events, advice on food and wine pairing, gift vouchers and tasting workshops. For wine and spirits lovers, V and B Niort is a must-visit during your stay in Niort.

Philippe Favreau welcomes you in his cellar and will make you discover his best selections at the best rates. You can get the best cognacs, and very rare products: cognac Frapin multimilésimes 1982-1985-1988 in luxury wood box; cognac Castillon 1865 (very rare, he is 144 years old!)… A cellar to discover without delay! The wine merchant will share his discoveries, his knowledge and above all his passion with smile and extreme sympathy.

With Murielle and Nicolas, you are in the hands of wine specialists. Good wines, great wines, but also whiskies, beer, spirits and regional products are just as much to honor. In the Wine and Pleasures cellar, you will also be advised to choose your accessories, carafe, whisky stones and hygrometer… It's up to you.

To give a gift to one of your loved ones or for your own pleasure, the TG Vins Wine cellar offers you an important selection of wines and champagnes, the owners of the most famous areas and castles. Alsace, Bordeaux, Gascony, Provence, Beaujolais, Burgundy, Loire Valley, Valley of the Rhône… If you don't know which product to choose, don't hesitate to ask the specialists, they really know their jobs and are very welcoming!

Located in the city centre, the wine merchants offer a wide choice, ranging from great wines to small names, including the "Little Récoltes", bottles recognizable to their red, blue or orange labels. Promotions every three weeks and quality advice. On the side of the spirits, there are also for all palates, from sweet wine to pure malt.
