It's customary to bring back a bottle of Badoit from a trip to Saint-Galmier, and it's even better if it's made of chocolate! In his elegant, uncluttered boutique, Anthony Pailleux, a renowned chocolatier in his thirties, selected at the end of 2019 by the jury of the "Talents Gourmands" competition, offers you some filled with Balnéarian cobblestones, a praline and roasted hazelnut slivers coated with cocoa powder, taking the shape of the village's alleyways. But the product range doesn't stop there, it's highly diversified, with handmade confections made for the most part from fresh fruit, creamy caramels or marrons glacés. Creative delights!

The most delicious Merveilleux made before your eyes in a pastry shop that you should not just photograph. Light, crispy and melting at the same time, these cakes are a specialty of the North. Frédéric Vaucamps has made the Merveilleux lighter and tastier. Working in total transparency, this craftsman has selected excellent products to make his Merveilleux to be eaten as individual pieces or as cakes for 4 to 24 people. Another wonderful store in the 6th district to succumb to this divinely diabolic temptation.

The company was founded by Paul Barnier and his son-in-law Amade Carod. In the 1960s, the Carod sons modernized it. Caves Carod is now owned by Grands Chais de France, which represents other group properties in Alsace, Bordeaux and Languedoc-Roussillon. The winery is now Ecocert-certified. A stopover on the road to Die and its Clairette wine. There's a pretty little Clairette museum on site, and a "De Vignes en Caves" bike tour from the winery. New products on the shelves every year. Dare to try the Carod Spritz.

Maison Lenoir's unique expertise has been passed down through 4 generations. A family affair, with craftsmen who are passionate about their profession as bakers and confectioners. A brand name and several addresses where you can enjoy a good loaf of bread every day, including the house specialty: pain au torchon. If Futé has chosen Maison Lenoir as one of its patisseries, it's because he's fallen in love with the classics - wonderful millefeuille, forêt noire, ambassadeur, tropézienne... - and home-made creations. Everything is made on the premises, even the tart shells, giving an inimitable taste to tailor-made cakes. Delivery and catering service available. A historic brand that's very much of its time.

Pralus is a favourite with the greedy. Let's be fair and let's give Pralus back its Loire origin and the excellence of its know-how in terms of praline brioche, pastries and chocolate. One of the last to work directly with cocoa beans to obtain great vintages presented with care in wooden cases. Success guaranteed in a gourmet city where people rush to savour the Praluline as well as to offer chocolates with a unique taste, sold with a smile and in the right way.

They didn't invent locavorism, but they were pioneers when they opened this very first Locavore grocery store in the Championnet district 12 years ago. A local grocery store that puts us on the right track, with products from Grenoble Y and the surrounding area. Ultra-fresh organic produce, plenty of local goodness, a range of local spices and herbs with the house brand Wurm, Esprit des Alpes and other beverages. Buy organic, local and seasonal baskets.

The Place Albert Thomas market is highly appreciated by the people of Stephan in search of good products bought directly from the producers. Many restaurateurs also come here early on Saturday mornings to help themselves. A real reference in terms of quality! You will find fruits, vegetables, cheese and yoghurts, bread... The old varieties are in the spotlight on the square! If the Saturday morning market attracts the largest number of exhibitors and customers, the Friday market is also very interesting because of its specificity as an organic market exclusively. As for the Tuesday and Thursday markets, they allow you to stock up on provisions during the week! We are in favour!

This recent bakery welcomes gourmands in a cosy and warm atmosphere, with a smiling team. On the bread side, note the traditional baguette, made with local flours from Forez. Other specialties (roasted corn, khorazan ...) await you. The pastries are also home-made, including puff pastry. As for pastries, where everything is also made on the spot, you won't miss the "pâté forézien", with apples or custard cream, pear and chocolate chips... And for the Epiphany, discover the beans honouring some of the monuments of Saint-Etienne, from the Saint-Charles cathedral to the Puits Couriot!

It's the kingdom of chocolate and pogne! An address of excellence that delights sweet tooths. It was in 1891 that Jean-Pierre Lionneton opened the first Lionneton bakery in Ardèche. The company has continued to exist without ever renouncing its origins and its traditional, artisanal pastry, chocolate and bakery work. The range of chocolates and pastries is an enchantment for the palate as well as for the eyes. The pogne de Romans is among the best in the appellation area and the bread menu is just as good. More than one reason to stop by.

Carole Depigny and Laurent Chatel raise about 60 cows. The milk production of their herd, stamped Savoyard milk, is transformed into white tomme, fresh or ripened cheeses, small aperitif corks, farm tomme... To better promote the work of the farm, Carole has opened a store selling farm products directly. She offers her cheese productions, but also other local products. A pleasant gourmet stopover, especially since Carole is warm and willing to share her culinary tips and tricks.

It's worth waiting until the end of the week and getting up early (there won't be enough for everyone), to savor the breads of Bastien Malugani. A committed baker who puts his heart and soul into his work. High-quality raw materials: pure organic cereal flour, unrefined Guérande salt, churned butter... The tedious work is made up of tricks of the hand, know-how and a raw, refined passion to be shared between two bags of flour. The Canuses baguettes are magical, as are the traboules, the seasonal fruit tarts to die for, as are the kouign-amann or kannelbullar and the croissants that would get anyone out of bed.

Sophie Richart-Luna shares her passion for cheeses with us in her beautiful boutique by telling us "Histoires de Fromages". Just one word of advice: even if you know what kind of cheese you want when you walk in the door, listen to the ideas of the woman who's going to help you discover a region, the work of an artisan producer, a manufacturing method, a particular maturing process. Let's go on a tour of France's cheeses, following the rhythm of the seasons, without forgetting our beautiful region. Remarkable ripening, total confidence and a selection of other gourmet products.

Located in the heart of the Old Town for over 10 years, Yogolicious has been delighting us with its fresh and cheerful version of frozen yogurt. Frozen yogurt is just as fresh as ice cream, but much healthier and lighter, especially if you don't drown your yogurt in sweet toppings (choose fruit...). A pleasant atmosphere in a setting that smells clean and organic. Low-fat (1.5%), low-calorie frozen yogurt. The twenty or so flavors change with the seasons and fashions, so you can treat yourself with an (almost) clear conscience. Customize with over thirty toppings. Bubble Waffle, smoothie and milkshake to vary the pleasures.

Eric Martin took over the family estate in 2008. His olive grove extends over a dozen hectares where 4,000 olive trees of three main varieties are planted: aglandau, bouteillan and picholine. It is in an old silkworm nursery that he blends and produces an extra virgin olive oil with a green fruity flavour called Cuvée Sauvage, which can be found on the tables of great chefs. It has been ranked among the 500 best olive oils in the world by the prestigious international guide by Marco Oreggia. Sale on site and online.

Champagne has its pink Reims cookies, Saint-Péray has its chips: a specialty that dates back to 1871. This patisserie is renowned for its Malavieille chips, sweet rolled cookies in the shape of a chip, delicately scented with orange blossom. This delicacy celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2021! The shavings can be eaten crunchy or softer, depending on your taste, at teatime or as an aperitif, or even as a dessert. The chef also concocts madeleines, suisses and other sweets in his workshop.

Two markets in Crest, one on Tuesday, the other on Saturday which takes larger proportions. Many producers in the region are present, including good goat or plant cheeses.

In Lyon, there are names that are immediately associated with the terms "quality and authenticity". Start with the Maison Malartre, which off us with its exceptional know-how since 1947. These are the hand-rolled quenelles by Paul Malartre and the preserves of his wife Magdeleine who have made the reputation of this house, but it is the generations succeeding who have succeeded in preserving the spirit and traditions of the quality of an ensign found at the Halles de Lyon since 1970. In this market of excellence, Malartre houses the ban on Lafayette by offering its best products. Of course, the house quenelles hold the star and prepare with also homemade sauces according to the recipes provided with the smile by a kind seller. All the Lyonnais also know that the Malartre house is the great specialist of white, which grows in the Lyonnais Mountains and ideal for holidays. Other great house speciality, freshly prepared Bourgogne snails are sold in bulk, shells or laminated. Soups, prepared vegetables, such as caviars of aubergines, sauces, grout, fruit in syrup and jams, there are plenty of delicacies and can be found at the table of Julie and Caroline (see our Restaurant section). Please note that you can also visit the factory shop in Saint-Genis-Laval. A great wine shop in Lyon, which is essential to complete its shopping basket.

When the passion of the farm meets the pastry know-how, it naturally gives a Pauze Ice! Serge Garnier, a farmer, and Virginie Rivollier, a graduate in pastry, combine the talents to put into ecstasy small and large! Their farm is located in Saint-Genest-Malifaux at 1 070 m altitude. 40 dairy cows and 45 heifers of high-open montbéliarde race provide quality milk. More than a drink, it's the main ingredient that transforms to give birth to delicious treats! Desserts, frozen, bins, you cannot do more healthily! Without dye, or conservative, you don't resist the desire to describe the tulip with its ice cream and caramelized pears or vanilla vacherins that faithfully restore the taste of a raspberry sherbet and a meringue. It should be noted that the élaborés produced are with the fruit of local farmers in the Pilat. In a word, it's authentic! So try a strawberry cone, you'll love! Manufacturing is a house even when it comes to cookies and chantilly! We can only highlight the individuality of such work, because everything goes directly from the breeder to the buyer. By appointment on the farm or on the markets, it is a pleasure to discover these ice cream delights and the same opportunity to leave with fresh milk, a creamy cream or butter as you rarely find!

Joyeuse macaroons have been around since the ^16th century, created from an Italian recipe, passed through the intrigues of the King of France's court and then brought back to the Ardèche by the Duke of Joyeuse.

Take your time, look around, taste... we advise you without pushing you, we inform you without stressing you. The store also sells local honeys, other cookies and chestnut products.

Eyguebelle takes its name from the abbey of Aiguebelle where Cistercian monks developed several recipes for complex plant liqueurs. A knowledge that has been passed down from generation to generation until 1996, when the brand became secular. Come here to discover, during a visit, all the fruit syrups of the region which made its reputation but also the pastis and the walnut cream; without forgetting the famous elixir of life made of plants and fruits elaborated in the Middle Ages in the abbey.

Established in 1962 in Yenne, in the picturesque Savoy countryside, the Coopérative Laitière de Yenne - Porte de Savoie is rooted at the foot of the Dent du Chat, between the Aiguebelette and Bourget lakes.

Three generations have succeeded one another at Domaine Christophe Lapierre, nestled in the heart of the Moulin-à-Vent appellation, at the foot of the Remont mountain.

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.

This barn is the result of a group of ten or so producers from the Drôme and Ardèche who decided to open and run a direct sales shop at the entrance to Saint-Péray, ideal for shopping. On the shelves, the delicious wines of Pascal Jamet, producer in Arras-sur-Rhône, the beef and pears of Philippe and Florent Cros in Boffres, the vegetables of Rosa and Jean-Pierre Vial in Bourg-lès-Valence, the goat and ewe's milk cheeses of Nathalie and Alain Noyer in Mariac, the jams and chestnut cream of Martine, Michel and Aurélien Grange in Lamastre, fruit from Jean-Paul Laprat in Saint-Laurent-du-Pape, eggs, potatoes, raspberries and chestnuts from Véronique, André and Fabien Moins in Chalencon, lamb from Sylvie Volle in Dornas and charcuterie from Pascal Robin in Rochessauve. Among the newcomers in the house: Yann-Vari Carel from Mas de Barral in Marsanne, for ducks and duck foie gras, and Eric Roumeysi from Ardoix for chickens, guinea fowl and other poultry. And to get to know all these producers who are committed to quality, a film shows you the daily work on the farms. More than one reason to stop by. An address recommended by the Futé. And keep an eye out on Facebook: tasting days are regularly organised by this or that producer around ostrich meat, ewe's milk yoghurt... A very nice initiative that deserves a detour to shop, bring back souvenirs...

The cooperative collects the milk from several producers established in the neighbouring municipalities who comply with a very precise charter, to produce cheese such as Margériaz, the Tome des Bauges AOC, the Petit Bauju... Tarines, abundances and Montbeliards grazing in the surrounding meadows are undoubtedly the cows producing the milk from which these cheeses are made. In the store, you can find dairy or farm reblochon, Mont d'Or when it is the season and other raclette cheeses. This fruit farm controls the entire production chain from grass and hay production to maturing and finally the marketing of cow, goat and sheep's cheeses. It is possible to visit and observe the production of cheeses, on request. In addition, from there, you can enjoy a beautiful view of the Bauges mountains. An online sale allows you to receive your favourite cheeses at home or pick them up directly from the cooperative.

Since 1920 and three generations, Diane de Poytiers has been producing nougats whose reputation has grown. As a common denominator: tradition and old fabrication. You will appreciate the tendre tendre to the old compound of 35% almonds, 5% pistachios of Sicily and 33% of lavender honey! A visit of the factory with an explanatory video, a brin of chat with a charming hostess and a tasting complete to convince us of the quality of this nougat that can be bought nature or flavoured, hard or tender, coated with chocolate, fruit of candied fruit, à, coco, étuis, barres, étuis, étuis, coffrets, barres, étuis, boxes and boxes for all the les.

The name is a bit technical: a cempote is a barrel with a capacity of about 104 litres. The same one that can be found on the sign of the establishment! In Châteaucreux, the Cempote is above all two areas: on one side a well-stocked wine and spirits cellar with more than 700 references chosen by the sommelier Alex Liotard, and on the other a cheese bar with a selection of French cheese, local cochonnaille and black pork from Bigorre, seafood, and some salads also served at lunchtime. And you can combine the two: choose your bottle directly from the cellar to accompany your cheese board and enjoy them with or without friends!

Les Gueules d'Orge is a community bar and urban brewery that produces 100% organic and local beers.
