Behind their newly created storefront, Eric and Jérôme Vichet are jamming and unjamming the bubbles. These two partners are exclusively dedicated to sparkling wines. On the one hand, they make flavoured wines with local fruit and artisanal syrups from the renowned Rième house.

If you are cooking and looking for flavours, it is sometimes difficult to get some ingredients. It's without counting Tang Market, which in a rather small space, manages to offer fruits and vegetables, frozen products, spices and all Asian pasta you need over a few square metres. it is also the only place in the Franche-Comte capital to offer certain beers and other drinks. The léla dodo, for example!

Located in Les Rousses in the Haut-Jura, this aperitif store is packed with goodies to taste on the spot or take away. Tasting takes place in an authentic vaulted stone cellar. The boutique offers a wide choice of products, including beers from around the world, a selection of wines and spirits, and an apéro food corner where you'll find specialties to delight your taste buds! The bistro will delight your taste buds with its tasting offer of rotating draughts, wines and over fifty beer references, accompanied by aperitif boards.

We like the friendly welcome and the judicious advice given by Cyril and Francis, the two creators of the shop. The products, well selected, reflect the regional know-how in terms of delicacies: cheeses and dairy products, craft beers, wines and honey from the Jura (among others) are honored. La Besace du Comtois also sells bread all year long and in the summer season, excellent homemade sandwiches are offered. The fame of this beautiful store, in front of the cathedral, is well justified!

Clémence Bernard, full of joie de vivre, has been devoting herself to chocolate since 2002, at a time when her grandmother's cakes made her salivate. She prefers small chocolate preparations, just like those of her grandmothers. Not very sweet, with almonds from Provence and above all not very strong. Origins Ivory Coast and Ghana. The almond paste and praline are also home-made. Orangettes, calissons, macaroons, caramels, puff pastries... The chocolate maker bites into life as she does into her chocolates, a real breath of optimism, like chocolate!

In the hamlet of Lamare, the "Gauloise blanche" has won many trophies, including the "Glorieuses de Bresse". Her farmer Rachel can be proud of it. Since 2003, she has specialised in the only bird to benefit from an AOC-AOP. Chickens, hens and capons gambol peacefully in a peaceful and secluded environment. One third of their food is found in the 8 hectares of grass, supplemented by wheat and corn without GMO that our poultry farmer cultivates. A guided tour, by reservation, and Rachel's valuable cooking tips will complete your visit.

At the foot of the fortifications, in a small street of the old town, you will surely fall on the small window of this unavoidable address of the lion city. François Bussière has been welcoming you in his palette of Bacchus, in all modesty for almost 30 years. In a quiet and simple atmosphere, the small and large vintages of France and Navarra are presented, which the wine merchant has carefully selected and whose passion he speaks with passion. A fine choice of small and large bottles of liqueurs, whiskies or spirits out of age or very old reserves are laid where there is room, on wooden shelves. This mess is not one for our man who knows grape varieties and crus at the fingertips. No one can better guide you to the wine best suited to your taste or to the spirits you don't know yet. A high-flying professional! The regulars, who become friends, make a stop at the shop, and take advantage of them to share their passion with the clients of passing. In short, an address should not be missed.

Here is a place where it is good to do your shopping, but also a coffee or drink break. As you can see, this grocery store also serves as a café. You can find what you would expect from a conventional grocery store, with a warm welcome and a sense of humour. Organic products are in the majority, including the brand "Au Petit Bonheur", small fruits and medicinal or aromatic plants are processed in the village. Cheeses, creamery and vegetables, bread and pastries throughout the year. Tobacco shop, Crédit Agricole green point, fishing cards. A place of life and conviviality.

It is nice to be able to rest on his sommelier! And at the Barthod house, three generations have been succeeding for almost 60 years to offer you the best wine, to become one of the best addresses of Besançon: a huge area dedicated to white, red, rosé, Jura, Burgundy, Bordeaux, Provence, Loire, Alsace, champagnes, but also whiskies to the reputation established as the Ardbeg, Glenlivet or the whiskies of the Jura island in Scotland! A unique address on Besançon and both connoisseurs and connoisseurs are not mistaken. Coffrets are also offered with wine associations such as chardonnay, pupillin, a gift idea of the best effect! Advice is advised and the staff are willing, even for the purchase of a bottle. The wine collection of the region is interesting and allows you to discover the closed eyes of local good wines. An address that clearly understood what good to take from the bottle!

Whether outside in his beehives or inside in his laboratory, you will find Philippe Clerc in white. In overalls or in a smock. The honey of this dynasty is a long story, Philippe being the last. Between Revermont and Bresse, he deploys his 350 "houses" on 12 sites. His "workers" bequeath him spring, flower, acacia, mountain, lime and fir honeys. You will be able to taste the range including its honey sweets, the recipe of the grandfather. One will also note the will to maintain very wise prices.

The Benoit's live in rue du Chardonnay in the "world capital of Ploussard". Not a handicap we assure you. The reds account for 50% of the 6 hectare estate, including 5 climates exclusive to this grape variety. It is managed by Benjamin. He will tell you about his objectives: sustainable vineyard management with the aim of becoming organic, manual harvesting in crates, vinification in barrels except for the Ploussard (in vats), without sulphiting or fining. At the same time, maintaining tradition, respecting each vineyard, and even preserving an 80 year old Chardonnay vine!

The Valouson, with its clear, fresh water, offers all the qualities Pascal Beuque is looking for. His aquaculture farm takes care of the different stages, from breeding, growing and cutting to the finished product. The rainbow trout is the queen of the ponds here. You can buy it gutted, in fillets, smoked and even fried trout. And as our man is enterprising, he prepares derived specialities: eggs in verrine, rillettes, terrines, quenelles, velvets. In season, the frogs are the delight of the greatest tables.

Jean-Pierre and Jean-Yves Boisson are as discreet as their highly prized hillside. They will welcome you in all simplicity, including by Marie-Noëlle, Jean-Pierre's wife. The 7 hectares produce mainly whites with a unique expression. An alternation of blue marl, clay-limestone and scree. The grapes are not destemmed at the pressing. The juice is then transferred to tuns and barrels. Only one vintage is usually sold. Here, we give time to time. The "tradition" is a pearl in its category. Excellent value for money.

This downtown boutique honours the Billiotte biscuit factory, a Montbéliard artisanal company. The Comptoir des Gourmandises is the only retailer in the Jura. There are irresistible specialities such as Haut-Doubs Dries with flavoured milk cream or comté cheese.

Shortbread, croquettes, mini-macaroons, muffins, cookies and appetizers match the gift baskets. This delicatessen shop completes its salty and sweet range with local products made in Jura.

You can enjoy the terrace with its bohemian and romantic decoration to taste the products of the store or spend an evening with family or friends! Throughout the summer, Céline organizes animated evenings in a friendly atmosphere.

This old servant goes round and round and round for a long time to come. The only "organic" mill in the Jura (Ecocert label) and the last water mill in Franche-Comté, it never ceases to amaze young and old alike. The Magdelaine family has owned it for 7 generations. But it appears in deeds in 1362, entering into the share of the local lord Eudes de Vaudrey. Built on the Cuisance, a tributary of the Loue, flanked by its paddle wheel, its stone millstone grinds the grains tirelessly to bequeath wheat, rye, spelt and buckwheat flours. Type 45 and 55, they are suitable for classic pasta or bread dough, i.e. 500 tons per year. A great merit is due to its managers for having set up a circuit with free or guided visits to transmit this memory of the medieval heritage. In the end, a visit to the "regional products" shop will satisfy even the most demanding visitors. The doors are also open on the third Sunday in June each year. Not to be missed! Including for groups who can use a reception room for 60 people.

Chantal and Jean Berthet-Bondet left everything behind in 1984, leaving their profession as agricultural engineers. In love with the Jura wines, it was in the most famous city of yellow wine that they chose to create their estate. Having no family ties to the wine industry, they built up their estate plot by plot. 15 hectares now, in agrobiology since 2010, a third of which is Château-Chalon. Since 2018, their daughter Hélène has joined them. The white wines, including the famous yellow wine, and other wines, whether or not they are oaked, largely occupy the barrel. A warm welcome guaranteed.

Domaine Macle is one of the pioneers of organic viticulture in the Jura. It is also a well-established estate, dating back to 1850. Laurent Macle took over the domaine in 1995 and has maintained it as one of Château-Chalon's leading addresses, earning him the nickname of "the pope of yellow wine". 4 ha of the estate's 12 hectares are planted with Savagnin grapes, and the remainder with Chardonnay in the Côtes-du-Jura PDO. Vinification takes place in ^16th-century cellars, in oak barrels of course. A very fine house.

Marion Mathez joined her fellow farmer Adrien Poncet in 2018. Not to work with him, but to create her "Mamellerie", her organic cheese factory that she opened after training at the organic ENIL in Poligny. Since then, she has been making 1,000 organic yoghurts a day in her laboratory (flavoured, two-layer, stirred), as well as butter, 10 kg of cream, 100 kg of fromage blanc and faisselles. She sells everything directly, including whole milk. The next step is ice cream. The dairywoman has opened her shop. She is also present at the Germigney market.

Few vineyards near the lakes and Orgelet, but this vineyard offers a good assortment of Jura wines. It informs you and advises you on the wines of the region, appellations, varieties and their respective characteristics. You can also find beer made in Jura, honey, jams and other franc products. To get full of gourmet gift ideas!

After 10 years as an amateur brewer, Julien Cêtre launched himself into the great bath of professional hops. But not the way a Montbéliard bull could do it. Tired of the "standardised" and in love with foam, the bovine engineering technician is not a little proud of producing "a really good home-made beer". It must be said that his farm receives pure water from the Ivrey spring that gushes from nearby Mont Poupet. It should be noted that his village, with a few dozen souls, rises out of a forest in the foothills of the first mountain plateau. Juju, as his friends call him, is now at the head of 3 permanent beers (a blonde American pale-ale type, a refreshing and fruity white, a redhead with caramelized notes). But the family is growing throughout the year with "ephemeral" beers called "Vachement Noël", "Vachement terrible", "Vachement noir", "Vachement fumée". And if you come in the summer, you will be entitled to the "Vachement Estiv'ale".

This human-sized estate is located between Salins and Arbois. Its 7 hectares, part of which are in Arsures, also benefit from the Côtes-du-Jura appellations. They are operated in non-intensive production, i.e. maximum work of the soil and grassing for half, no insecticide, no anti-rot. The duo Patrick Grandmaison and Adrien Robbe offer un-yeasted wines up to yellow wine. They normally organise their "Journées terroirs" in June. Book your visit, because the two partners are very much in demand, in Belgium for example.

Ranked in the top 5 of our best chocolate makers, Edouard Hirsinger is the^4th generation to perpetuate this chocolate dynasty. If he is the author of many seasonal creations, he has not forgotten those of his grandfather and great-grandfather, the Galet and the Tous t'chefs. The cakes are also marvellous, such as the Arboisien, the Monaco, the Régent and the Damier (the customers' favourite). The shop is sober and chic and is spread out on a terrace in good season. With a little time, you can also visit the workshop-museum of the origins.

Besançon is a city brimming with culinary delights, and Maison Courbet Traiteur is one of them. This boutique offers a wide selection of quality dishes and catering products. Whether for a meal with friends, a special event or simply to treat yourself, Maison Courbet Traiteur will satisfy every palate.

Marcel Petite's Comté is THE star of the region, but it's also exported internationally, spreading its finesse and subtlety far and wide. In 1966, Marcel Petite had the idea of aging Comté in the former military fort of Saint-Antoine. He refined the technique and adapted to the temperature and humidity of the site, building a veritable underground cathedral for Comtois cheese. Other Comtois cheeses are of course also available from this creamery, which is a must-stop on your visit to Pontarlier.

Michel Geneletti began viticulture in the Etoile appellation in 1976. His son, David, joined him over 20 years ago, but has now decided to take a step up to the most prestigious benchmark, Château-Chalon. The estate covers 15 hectares, producing mainly whites. There are also vines in the Arbois appellation. Try the Crémant du Jura. A low-carbon nose gives way to fresh apple and fine bubbles. A well-balanced wine to enjoy as an aperitif or with a meal.

This dairy cooperative produces, matures (in part) and offers its own Comté cheese and products from the local trade. Mild, fruity or aged, the flavours enchant the palate with the rhythm of the maturing process (up to 20 months). Comté cheese but also morbier, cow's cheese rubbed with Jura wine and four spices rub shoulders with Arbois wines, Clerval honey and Mouthier-haute-Pierre beers. The tourist office offers a discovery tour in summer - booking required.

Mocafé, a delicatessen located in the old town of Belfort, is a veritable nugget for lovers of fine, authentic products. As soon as you enter, the delicious aroma of coffee envelops you. Mocafé stands out above all for its selection of Grand Cru and specialty "Grande Origine" coffees, from Honduras, Costa Rica, Ethiopia, Congo... Mocafé also offers a fine selection of teas, infusions, wines, spirits and gourmet products. Coffee roasting here is a family tradition, handed down from generation to generation. The manager will be happy to guide you in your choice.

Philippe Tissot and his sister Nathalie bring a touch of modernity to the field of his father that they joined several years ago. Jacques Tissot, a colorful wine grower, has been able to develop his vineyard and the reputation of his wines, prepared in accordance with tradition. The domain collects rewards. Jacques Tissot's passion is communicated to his team, which makes you discover the area of 30 hectares and taste its wines.

What an irresistible rise Patricia and Christian have made since 1976, when the Pêcheur parents farmed just 1 ha. They now produce 8 hectares of 5 Jura grape varieties. What's special here is the age of the vines, which range from 35 to 50 years. The crucial stage is obviously the harvest: first the vin de paille, for which the bunches are pampered, then the chardonnay for crémants and still wines. Then come the reds, and finally the savagnin and the Jura star, the vin jaune, including an excellent Château-Chalon.

Jean-Louis and Françoise Tissot have now entrusted the destiny of their vineyard to their children Valérie and Jean-Christophe. This 17-hectare estate in Montigny-les-Arsures and Arbois is still run with great respect for Mother Nature. In barrel, the Tissots don't rush their wines made from the 5 authorized grape varieties. In the land of the red "Trousseau", they have produced a remarkable 2013 yellow wine. It's best to let us know when you're coming.

Terre comtoise was born of the merger of 3 agricultural cooperatives. If you're familiar with Gamm Vert stores, you'll know that these are the distribution outlets for the cooperative's various products. The stores offer a vast and varied range of products and equipment for the agricultural world and the general public. The promotion of products from BFC agriculture is a value defended in these stores, notably under the Nous Autrement label.

Hugo Sublet perpetuates the family know-how. The packaging has changed since 1856, but not the manufacturing (glass bottle and mechanical stopper). The ingredients are the same: cane sugar, agave syrup, pure water from the Massif, natural flavours. Sold all over the world, this bubbly drink is drunk at the production site on Friday afternoon. The organic lemonade echoes childhood memories. It has been expanded to include rose, orange blossom, ginger, peppermint and elderberry. Others have regional flavours. 19 references in total.

The machine call is stronger than everything, and the varied map offers coffees from all sources, flavoured to all perfumes, and even some from fair trade.

Warm chopsticks are appreciated every hour of the day, comtoises cakes, pastries and small ovens of yesteryear. Special or festive breads are also very popular. The reputation of this bakery far exceeds the area, it is not uncommon for the queue to stretch up to the sidewalk. Small creux can be found in bacon cubes or in county, quiches, salés tartlets and pizzas. Quality is a serious matter here.

Located at an altitude of 750 metres between Valdahon and Morteau, the Flangebouche dairy was founded in 1840! Today, it has 54 farmers on 30 farms. A store will welcome you to discover all the flavors of Franche-Comté: comté, morbier, tomme and raclette, as well as a wide selection of regional products.

This cooperative, created in 1836, is located on the banks of the Seille, in the heart of the vineyards between Lons and Château-Chalon. It groups together 23 farms from 15 surrounding communes and processes 8 million litres of milk per year into raw milk cheeses. Comtés take pride of place with a range of cheeses that can be matured for up to 24 months. Then come morbier, tomme and raclette. Like its neighbours, this dairy has also become a local shop. The reward: a gold medal in 2020 at the Concours Général Agricole for its old Comté.

After your stay in the Jura, you won't have the opportunity to buy so easily these delicious cheeses and products that you have tasted during your stay. Since 1970, this company has specialized in mail order sales. Among the cheeses you can order, the Juraflore comté which is a regularly awarded pearl, the mont d'Or is just as much, without forgetting the bleu de Gex and morbier. Recently, a point of sale has been opened to the public in the famous Juraflore cellars.

More than two years ago, Clémentina Martinez opened this charming boutique. It is ideally located along the national road which crosses the village and, with its storefront, it is difficult to miss it. The commune revives since there was no more butcher in Parcey for more than twenty years. All meats are prepared in the shop lab and come from the corner. Clémentina also proposes to sell cured and regional products: Comtois jams and macaroons, county, cheese, cancoillotte, gaude cakes, blueberry sausage, bull and even kangaroo. Our last stroke of heart? Brisselets in the county. A treat!

It is impossible to miss this cellar with exterior painted walls and decorations dedicated to the good drink. Fine grocery, gourmet baskets, wines but also beautiful collection of whiskies. Inside, take the time to chat with the wine cellar, and maybe even want to taste and enjoy its advice. A pleasant place, especially in the middle of summer, where it makes good strolling and discovering new wonders of wines.

The distillery has been working since 1859. The very dynamic company markets a large number of products: water-of-life, marc, liqueurs, creams, fruit-based aperitifs, absinthe… His excellence is recognized. The latest news? Rhubarb liqueur, Paris Dry Gin®, Pure Gold William's Liquor (a pear liquor with gold paillettes) and bottles with original shapes, a tractor for example. Free tasting on site. To eat with moderation of course!

The vine in Champlitte is a historic tradition dating from the th century… The Coteaux de Champlitte then became a reference in the region: in the th century, it was even the city's main resource. A terrible epidemic in the th century and the First World War were fatal to the chanitois vineyard. However, in the 1970 s, the CAG (Grand Vineyard Chanitois) was released from land to exploit 35 hectares of vines (200 times less than in the old days…) The area is close to the Castle and offers a possibility to park several campers. The reception staff will be happy to share the different wines.
