Gourmet products local specialties and wines Valence

This gourmet address downtown is an institution founded in 1856. We love the door handle in the shape of a Swiss, the Valence cookie man. Its beautiful window opens onto a scent of orange blossom that flavors the two house specialties, flagships of Valence gastronomy, the pogne and the suisse, which come in different sizes. The Swiss refers to the Swiss guards of Pope Pius VI, who died in Valencia in 1799. Also: chocolates, nougats, saint-genix, cakes, pastries and a collection of breads.

Founded in 1964 by Jean-Charles Giraud, and later joined by his son Louis, this gourmet brand welcomes us to its attractive boutique just down the boulevard.

In a hurry at lunchtime? Try the menu of the day with salad, dish of the day and pastries, on the terrace if the weather's fine, or on the mezzanine, in the warmth of the interior.

The Guillet house has more than 50 years! One half-century of shared delicacy and happiness. Guillet remains the chocolate reference of Novels and... well beyond, since the Guillet house is rewarded to Japan for its incomparable chocolates. A right harmony between tradition and innovation allows master craftsman pastry chef Novels to draw his pin from the game in a context of fierce competition. It is that the chocolate it is pleasure but also one crowned market! Guillet declines a sublime collection, the classical ones associating walnut, morello cherry, orange peel, almond with most original in form of ravioli or... of shoes (man or woman!). The house is also famous for its refined macaroons, its verrines and, of course, the wide range of its intervene very smart. The Guillet house also has its shop with Valencia (place of Champ-de-Mars).

Philomino Pisiu is an excellent artisanal ice cream chef from Sardinia.

All turbinated with love and served with a smile! Waffles are also available.

You have understood that this address is dedicated to curious epicureans. Featuring beer! Or rather beers in their beautiful diversity. Beers from small breweries, mainly traditional and typical.

There is even a delicatessen department. Mug collectors will also find their happiness there. All good and beautiful things! More than one reason to stop off at rue des Alpes. The boss is happy to advise you. At Christmas, we enjoy the very original Advent calendar of beer.
