Gallinacée is very pleased to offer you delicious fatty livers, high quality duck and poultry, kid, game, rabbit, fresh eggs and cooking products, which you will be telling us about news. We have tasted roasts fowl - to fall on the ground! -the roasts of breasts filled - to damn a saint! and we re-examine it. Frankly, try Le Gallinacée is to adopt it. Of course, the formula makes a bit of a cliché, but if everything is not perfect (we are not always fans of sausages for example and prices can be a little high), most products are good, even excellent and archi-fresh. A very good address to the Halles, which only serves AOC meat, Red Label or Organic label.

The Planiols brothers are producers of organic fruits and vegetables that they offer to the customers of Les Halles de Nîmes on their discreet outlet at the Allée driveway. It's a bit of a., but it's a little bit., but it's a little bit eccentric. On weekends, you often need to be patient to serve: stalls are overflowing with world! It should be said that the kindness of those who serve and the freshness of the products are particularly valuable. Next to the early ones, you will also find on the spot what you care in basic products - always organic - of the genus sugar, wine, flour, jars of canned vegetables, cereals… Appreciable, especially as prices for bio are quite reasonable.

Pierre Jauffret comes from several generations of winegrowers who have been working since 1856. In 2000, Château Terre Forte resolutely turned towards the future by practicing biodynamic viticulture. The twenty-hectare estate has several terroirs, mainly clay-limestone with deep, rounded pebbles. We like the Rouge, which has a "good picolability index", and for a biodynamic wine, it's well worth the detour in terms of quality/price. Don't forget to allow time for tasting.

The vine grows on the sand! Sand wines have been known and appreciated since the 14th century. This terroir produces an original wine with a subtle aroma in which the image of the sandy coast on which it was made is reflected, a barrier coastline that runs along the Gulf of Lion between Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer and Cap d'Agde. The siliceous sands and limestone that make up the soil and the marine micro-climate constitute a natural environment, unique in France.

Located on a ring road in Villeneuve-lès-Avignon, this winery opened its doors in 2017.

All budgets are catered for, and there's plenty of advice on what to buy if you're not a wine connoisseur. The cellar also hosts vernissages, tasting evenings and wine gatherings. An address for those who love good wines and want to discover new ones.

The Chartreuse oil mill is one of the oldest in France still in operation. It was created in 1358 by the Carthusian order, and in 2009 its buildings were listed as historical heritage. The mill was taken over in 2008 by the Bronzini family. It is Philippe, master miller passionate about his job, who is in charge of crushing the olives to produce 3 oils: the Cuvée des Chartreux, the Cuvée Diamant Noir Provence and the Cuvée à l'Ancienne.

Soccer leads to everything, even to the vineyard. In the field, Gilles Leclerc, a former ASSE defender (1998-2000) and - for those specialists who are interested - one of the architects of the Greens' rise to D1 in 1999. As the owner of the family wine estate in Saint-Victor-la-Coste, a picturesque village in the Gard between Nîmes and Avignon, the sporty entrepreneur manages his 30 hectares of vines, which are planted with Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre and Carignan. The young winegrower fell in love with the Rhône region, its peaceful hillsides, its rocky, mineral soil, its scents of garrigue. His wines? Côtes du Rhône, of course, which he bottles himself. His fifth cuvée, he named it "La Cuvée Verte" in remembrance of his former colleagues of the "Sainté" certainly, but also in reference to the reasoned culture he practises on an estate where two thirds of the grapes are still harvested by hand.

With a wealth of experience working with some of the world's top names in gastronomy, including the Michelin-starred Le Vieux Castillon in Castillon-du-Gard and 16 years at the renowned Noailles patisserie in Nîmes, Alexandre Boudry sublimates flavors with his homemade creations, evolving with the seasons.
