The best regional grocery stores Les volcans d'Auvergne

Since 1987, this store is a paradise for the amateurs of true regional products: cheeses (saint-nectaire, cantal, murol, fourme d'Ambert, gabron, salers, fournols...), delicatessen (terrine with Auvergne blue cheese, rabbit or boar terrine..), cured meats (Auvergne ham with mountain appellation, sausage with walnuts, blueberries...) but also wines, aperitifs, craft beers (Côte d'Auvergne, Châteauguay, Madargue, Domaine Ray, Pisse d'Âne...), liqueurs, honeys, jams. Indeed, whether on the ceiling or on the shelves, there is everything here and plenty of it!

From flavored aperitif (gentian, chestnut, verbena...) to sweets (crunchy, fruit jellies...), you will discover the flavors of hams, aligots, tripoux, pottage and cheeses from Auvergne (the 5 farm PDO: saint-nectaire, cantal, salers, bleu d'Auvergne, fourme d'Ambert). You will find the products of more than fifty producers. You can also enjoy these products at the Baladins, the restaurant located just opposite, run by Laetitia and Julien. The house organizes tastings for groups and makes "musettes garnies".

Step into this old-fashioned store and discover the wealth of quality Auvergne gastronomy. Auvergne PDO cheeses such as buffalo tomme, goat's cheese and gaperon are all on offer. Charcuterie products come from Pallut and Limoujoux. The stalls also offer a range of artisanal products: jam, honey, soup, terrines... A meal without a drink is not a meal without a drink, so a selection of Auvergne wines, beers, liqueurs, fruit juices and lemonades is on offer.
