Château de Thenon is a 12 ha wine estate in the commune of Razac de Saussignac, in the centre of the Saussignac appellation. Joël Evandre, an atypical and well-known character in the Bergerac vineyard, took over this vineyard located between the slopes of Monbazillac and the Pays Foyen in 1988. The production consists mainly of dry Bergerac, the terroir being the most favourable for the Sauvignon and Semillon grape varieties. But the red, rosé and mellow wines are just as qualitative. The Saussignacs are regularly awarded medals and are of exceptional quality.

Corinne will propose you to discover and taste the AOP Tursan, IGP Chalosse and IGP Landes wines. She will be able to explain to you that the grapes are harvested at maturity, picked and worked by a technical team, responsible for the quality of the wines you will find for sale. The operation is that of a large estate. The wines are bottled at the property in Geaune, where the visits are organised. The wines of Tursan accompany the farandole of dishes from the South-West.

Take a gourmet break at Goxoak in the friendly Saint-Charles district. You'll succumb to the classic chocolate moelleux, or a fine seasonal fruit tart. On the delicatessen side, summer honey, local jams and a wide range of loose teas and herbal teas. The pastry chef's speciality is the "gâteau du voyage", a cake that can be kept at room temperature: orange, lemon, etc. And also a range of fruit tarts, chocolate cookies, etc.

Does your mom dream of a Vuitton bag, but you can't afford to give it to her? Keep her happy with a copy in 70% cocoa dark chocolate. And if you want to surprise your friends, present them with an assortment of white, dark and milk chocolate cannelés, filled with melting caramel, rum and vanilla. They're crunchy on the outside and melt-in-the-mouth on the inside. Original and delicious! All these delicacies are examples of the talent of Sébastien Audevard, chocolatier by profession and chocolate sculptor. Not only beautiful, but also of the highest quality.

Just opposite Les Halles de Saint-Jean-de-Luz and inside the Gachucha boutique, a specialist in colorful Basque linen, Émilie makes and sells delicious "Parisian" macaroons (2 shells and a ganache). Different flavors are offered, all equally tasty and gourmet - chocolate, lemon, rose, coffee, pistachio, vanilla, orange blossom... and the flavor of the month. These sweets are available individually, in boxes and to order.

For more than 80 years, quality as a tradition ! The Pascal Massonde House at Les Halles is unbeatable. It's hard to resist the excellence of its products, the know-how of 4 generations of butchers. Local and southwestern meat, processed in Souraïde. Beef, veal, mutton, lamb, pork, poultry, delicatessen, pâtés, ready-made meals. 3 times medal winner at the Concours Agricole with the pork liver pâté.

The followers of the bio and the products resulting from the local agriculture know well this store: since 1992, Bio Béarn is the specialist in this field and even one of the precursors. Today, there are no less than 6,000 references that represent a way of life and consumption, a diversity that, coupled with quality, has built the success of the store. You are here in the same representation as a conventional supermarket except that, as you will have understood, everything is organic! We appreciate the diversity and quality of the products.

Each of the farm's pigs is raised for 8 to 11 months on a traceable, non-GMO diet. This allows them to have a meat richer in taste. The company has chosen sustainable agriculture with some of the pigs raised on a straw bed, because unbalanced meat does not allow for good salting. The farm's ham has three IGP Bayonne Ham approvals and is aged for 14 months. The farm also offers pâtés and livers, cheeses and ready-made meals, all of which are successful.

The history of the Reich family estate has always been guided by passion. On 50 hectares of land, 25 of which are Cru Bourgeois de L'Argenteyre, the land, benefiting from an oceanic climate, gives life to wines of character. The grape varieties are composed of 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 15% Petit Verdot and 5% Carménère. The vinification is carried out in concrete and stainless steel vats. Then follows 5 weeks of maceration, during which the grapes are pressed in a vertical hydraulic press to preserve the best of the fruit. Nice welcome.

The truffle has long been a mystery as to its nature and origin. Today, we know it's a mushroom, a subterranean cousin of the morel. There are around ten varieties of truffle in Europe. With sales outlets in Biarritz, Bayonne, Anglet, Bordeaux, Dax and Paris, Maison Balme is a benchmark for truffles, but it's first and foremost a story of 4 generations of truffle-growing families. An omelette, a white pudding, a crushed croquette, an egg casserole, a Caesar salad... with truffles! To eat in or take away.

A concentrate of cured meats, meats, cheeses and famous Basque cakes in this store. For several generations, the Gastellou family, located in Saint-Jean-le-Vieux, has run the Poutzia farm.

Bayonne and Garazi hams, sausages, pâtés, rillettes, chorizo, ham piperade and delicious ready-made meals.

Five generations of know-how in cheese production and beyond. On the cheese road, come and meet Tote, who proudly opens the doors of his farm for a tasting and a tour of the workshop (sheepfold, ripening room). The farm's organic ewe's milk cheeses are highly acclaimed here: ripened ewe's milk tomme, mamia (maman) made from curdled milk... and all thanks to 150 Manech ewes living on 24 hectares. These products can be found on the main markets of the Basque country, in creameries and gourmet restaurants.

It is in Saint-Jean-le-Vieux, that the Gastellou family has been established for several generations at the farm "Poutzia". From the breeding of meat cows and pigs in the open air, to the canning and salting of hams. At the foot of Arradoy, on a twenty-hectare forest, the animals evolve far from the industrial pace: artisanal products that are all the more tasty and flavorful. Dry-cured hams from Bayonne and Garazi, sausages, chorizos, ventrèches, rillettes, pâtés..., dishes cooked in jars and home-made Basque cakes! A beautiful know-how.

Have you heard of the Puits d'amour de Captieux? This exquisite delicacy is one of the region's great classics. Those from Maison Seguin are well worth the detour: a thin shell of choux pastry, a tender caramelized chiboust cream... It's been the same recipe since 1944! Buoyed by its success, Maison Seguin also has its own year-round sales outlets in Bordeaux: Cours Portal in the Chartrons district, as well as a stand open every weekend at the Capucins market. Puits d'amour and that's it.

We know about South Africans' passion for rugby, but we knew a little less about biltong, dried beef subtly marinated in spices (from Espelette). It's also in the Basque country, in Bayonne, that we discover and appreciate this preparation which gives a particular flavor to the piece of beef. Its nutritional qualities (lean, easily digestible meat...) make it a healthy food to enjoy as an aperitif, in a salad or omelette, or as an energy supplement for sports.
