It's not always easy to choose a bottle of wine, whether for yourself, for a dinner party or as a gift. Here, Corinne and Thierry Crépin, wine merchants, offer a smiling welcome and invaluable advice. The selection includes wines produced by independent French winegrowers. Loire, Côtes d'Auvergne, Côtes de Bordeaux, Languedoc: quality and flavor are the order of the day. Tastings are organized on a regular basis. The boutique is enhanced by a selection of spirits, as well as a delicatessen corner where you can put together an entire aperitif.

Everything changed in 2023: Amaya, the founder, decided to hand over the running of the business to Camille and Delphine. They continue to develop infusions based on organic and local plants. The ranges are simple: pure plants or blends, classified by virtue (soothing, digestive, tonic, skin beauty...). Nothing goes to waste: the powder from the cuttings is used in solid cosmetics. Gone are the days of the Volvic store; today, their products can be purchased from a number of retailers or online during short sales.

Bleu d'Auvergne, cantal, saint-nectaire: a hundred or so cheeses take pride of place in this pleasant cheese shop. They are carefully selected by Annie and Patrick Channeboux. In direct contact with the producers, they ensure optimum quality. Not sure which cheese to choose? Don't hesitate to ask, their advice is invaluable. Platters for aperitifs or raclette are prepared by Annie. A delicatessen completes the offer. Here again, products are carefully selected.

A veritable institution run by a little 96-year-old woman, Renée Vitte's sucres d'orge have been delighting young and old alike for almost 80 seasons.

Behind her white apron, she's at the service of all those who are lucky enough to push open the doors of her confectionery, recognizable by its blue and white striped blind.
