The smell is inimitable, and perceptible from the moment you enter this store selling cured meats and specialties from the Basque region. It's hard to choose between the various hams, sausages and chorizos, or between the prepared dishes: veal axoa, cassoulet, chipirons, salmis de palombe, poulet basquaise, piperade, confit, magret... Pair with a good artisan cheese, Irouléguy wine, manzana verde or patxaran beer. For sweetness, succumb to the divine jams and jellies or the excellent Aldudes butter.

The concept behind La Mesure grocery store is simple: we choose the quantity we need ourselves. Liquid or solid, just what we need! No need to buy and throw away useless and polluting over-packaging. That's the 0-packaging spirit.

The grocery store, which has already been in business for 8 years, now also offers a delicatessen made in the Basque Country.

At Balme, truffles are a family affair that began over a century ago in the Vaucluse region.

Fresh truffles, truffle charcuterie, truffle condiments, truffle preserves... There's even a duck corner and lots of gift ideas! You can eat on site.
