The best regional grocery stores Vire

Founded in 1981, Maison Asselot is the most famous ambassador of the genuine andouille de Vire, regularly awarded laurels of excellence in regional and national competitions. The best andouille from Vire, or almost! Handmade from pork belly, smoked in traditional beechwood fireplaces for three weeks, then simmered in a broth, Vire andouille can be enjoyed hot or cold, as an aperitif or at the table. An ancestral know-how, dating back to the ^18th century, to discover on our guided tours.

Gourmet friends, once upon a time, the best tripe in France and Navarre! At the end of the Vire, near the keep, the Ruault House has been producing tripe from father to son since 1955. In Calvados or Caen style, tripe can be found in this small shop. Many restaurants have made Ruault tripe one of their emblematic ingredients. And if tripe doesn't make you tripper, the house also concocts excellent terrines and country rillettes.

Founded in 1897, Maison Danjou makes genuine andouille sausages, appreciated by connoisseurs. But did you know that the recipe for andouille has not changed - or only slightly - since the Middle Ages? And that it requires several stages: assembly, salting, placing in the smokehouse, then desalting and cooking? Yes, the andouille is to be deserved, you will be told at the store, which also proposes cobblestones of Vire (specialities of the house) and many other specialities of the soil. And if you live far away, don't panic, you'll get your andouille! How do you get it? By ordering by phone!
