From the tree to the bar! This rural chocolate foundry occupies a beautiful and tastefully renovated vintage Briard workshop. Grégoire Engrand, a renowned chocolate maker, produces bars and chocolates from cocoa beans selected and imported by him. He works with mastery and passion to create Easter eggs, hens, roosters, lobsters and other sardines... there is something for everyone. Christmas also has its own range and classics and novelties are added all year round. He is also behind the famous chocolate pasta created in collaboration with a Brie pasta manufacturer.

It is the oldest cheese factory in the Brie region. Since 1895, the farm's fresh cheeses are matured in the cellars for 5 weeks. A maturing of farmhouse Brie cheese according to the artisanal method. The milk does not undergo any transformation and keeps all its aromas. In the morning, the sale is done on the markets, the afternoon is dedicated to the visits of the maturing cellars. There is also a store on site. A precious address for the amateurs of the true brie of Meaux farm, brie of Melun farm, black brie, coulommiers, small hearts with old, triple-cream..

A family business founded in 1929, Société fromagère de la Brie manufactures a variety of cheeses: brie de Meaux, brie de Melun, brie de Montereau, coulommiers as well as certain "triple cream" specialties (Jean de Brie, vignelait, bayard gourmand, brillat-savarin, brie de coulommiers, brie de Nangis...) and "double cream" (saint-siméon, brie de Montereau, explorateur)... On the leaner side: 1000-year-old cheese or cendré de la Champagne at 20% or 30% fat content.

This breeding of chickens, ducks, guinea fowl and rabbits… is also present in the Ferté-sous-Jouarre market on Fridays and Sundays. Sale of raw milk, cream and white cheese.

In 1892, Eric Gobard's great-grandmother settled on the Chantemerle farm, where Coulommiers cheese was produced for 80 years. Today, reviving the traditions of the Pays de Brie, Anne and Eric have installed a mill made by the Green family in Tyrol, Austria. Using stone millstones, they produce organic flours from wheat, hemp and ancient cereal varieties they grow themselves. A visit to the site will reveal a wide range of flours (spelt, rye, wheat...), as well as cookies!

Les Gourmandises boutique in Coulommiers is a real treasure. Corinne offers a warm welcome in a cosy setting. Her shelves are overflowing with artisanal products from the four corners of France: honeys, jams, sweets, chocolates and teas. The "cosy chic" tearoom, a natural extension of the boutique, offers a convivial atmosphere where you can sample delicacies, buy gift boxes, plush toys or postcards.

The Mouilleron bakery is a Coulommiers classic, a family adventure that began in 1976, and continues to supply local residents with the same passion, and know-how well handed down. Today, it's run by Sylvain Mouilleron, a stickler for tradition who celebrates his region, notably with his famous brie stems. The baker-patissier offers a wide range of delights, including old-fashioned breads, boule de ferme and speciality breads, as well as viennoiseries and pastries, and savoury snacks.

Mathieu Pinelle runs his franchised wine cellar in the center of Coulommiers, right on the banks of the Grand Morin.

You'll be able to discover a range at all price points, from new releases to great classics, from confidential to prestigious appellations (Pessac-Léognan, Champagne, Costières de Nîmes, Saumur, Madiran...).

Delphine Weiss' boutique is a veritable compilation of pleasures, offering not only a wide range of chocolate products, but also a host of local and international delicatessen items.

On the Place du Marché, the D'Hondt family's cheese shop is one of the town's must-sees, as famous for its many cheeses as for the quality of its maturing. Their award-winning Brie de Coulommiers is as highly recommended as the three hundred other varieties on offer: cheeses from Seine-et-Marne, of course, but also from all over the country and beyond. The shelves are also stocked with a wide range of delicatessen products, including jars, wines, spreads and creamery products.

With her passion for spices and her passion for cocoa, Laetitia has been based in Tournan-en-Brie since 2012, and is now established in Crécy. Let's face it! Once you've entered the store, you'll be irresistibly drawn in by the chocolate bonbons: Mokaya, Cyrano, Palet d'Or... As many dreams as promises kept. Here, spices and cocoa mingle in Cluziel's signature gourmet alchemy. Afterwards, stop by the tearoom and munch on a few macaroons before a glass of hot chocolate or champagne. What else?

Conviviality and a good choice of wines and spirits, with several hundred references, here you will discover every Saturday good flavors: Alsace, Burgundy ... White (Montagny, Meursault Sous la Velle ...), red (Pommard, Volnay Vieilles Vignes ...) and only good, even organic (Clos Puy Arnaud 2017 ...). And what a pleasure it is to receive advice or to rediscover the nectar that made us so happy... Wine, champagne or other AOP beverages (Beaumes-de-Venise, Terres Jaunes...). Here, we travel from one terroir to another, to the whim of grape varieties and aromas.

Jean and Christelle Dijols, charcutiers with a passion for culinary traditions, excel. Among other distinctions, twice champion of France in the superior white ham category, Jean's work is a blend of tradition and inventiveness, much to our delight. Better still, as a member of the Chevaliers du Goûte boudin de Mortagne-au-Perche brotherhood, he offers us a dish based on free-range pork, spices and fresh produce... An address in the noblest sense of the word, where you'll be sure to do your meat shopping. And the regulars are not mistaken!

Since 1997, this farm has been growing pulses, hazelnuts and cereals using conservation agriculture: green, blond and black lentils, split peas... as well as oils: rapeseed, sunflower, linseed, hazelnut, packaged in 25 cl bottles. In the orchard, there are no machines to control the vegetation, just pretty sheep that provide the wool for quilts and pillows. The farm opens its doors every year for the Balade du Goût (^2nd weekend in October) to the hazelnut orchard, where you can let yourself be guided!

Horticulturists from father to son since 1913, the Benoists specialize in geraniums, producing around 800,000 plants a year, and offer a wide range of species: poinsettias, begonias, dahlias, cyclamens, primroses, hydrangeas... for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. The choice is yours. This plant nursery and sales outlet is a veritable paradise for plant lovers. From the alleys of the Jardins de Faremoutiers, you'll see a flurry of activity in the greenhouses, with their thousand-colored plants.

Nassau Rhums is the passion of a self-taught lover of rum, cuisine and travel, who, in the course of his adventures, has gathered a whole range of gustatory emotions that have given birth to innovative recipes, of course unique, subtly combining aromas, spices and fruits. Flavors that, like a Book of Wonders, tell the story of a country, but through the senses. A word of advice: go for it! The tasting tour in this refined setting is fascinating, as are the masterclasses and workshops, including the Rhum arrangé workshop, not to mention the aperitif.

A splendid farm with a th century dungeon located between Coulommiers and Jouarre on the road to Taken. Claire-Marie and Christophe Charpentier are grain farmers, but their great passion is apples. Varieties of mouth, delicious and crisp, elstar, jonagold, melrose, idared, beautiful golden, cybel, etc. We come to pick them up and the last ones remain until April. Or those who prefer can simply come to buy and leave with recipe ideas. And since then, nectarines, peaches, queen-claude, raspberries, potatoes, green beans, and other miscellaneous fruits and vegetables. Another novelty is the sale of flowers, all of which go to the Green Wolves Association for children with autism. Workshops are also organized so that children know where our food comes from and how it is produced.
