I especially like their jambon persillé (ham and parsley aspic terrine), a regional dish that is ubiquitous in Burgundy, as well as their duck liver paté. They also have a selection of very tasty saucisson (dry cured sausage) that they will slice for you. Finally, in the mornings they offer freshly-roasted chickens, but be sure to get there early, because they go quick, and once they're out, they're out. The only thing that would make this place better is having Bresse chicken. But I guess you can't win them all.

I'm very glad I came across this particular store because not only was it easy to find but we easily found everything we needed. Walking in, the displays are a feast for the eyes. Everything is organized so well and decorated so nicely. The sections are easy to navigate. There is more in this store than just wine and liquor as well. There's a nice assortment of candies, teas, and other specialty food items. The people who work in the store are also very friendly and helpful.

We grabbed some lovely Roquefort and another (I can't remember the name of it, but it was very nutty and delicious!) and then stopped next door for fresh baguette. We also found a yogurt that we had fallen in love with at a nearby bakery - Cremerie du Lac sells it! They are in glass jars in the refrigerated shelves in front of the cheese display. We loved all of them - vanilla, strawberry, raspberry, blueberry. My only wish is that we could somehow get those yogurts here in the US. They are amazing!

I visited this waffle joint twice after having completed UTMB because I felt like I deserved something delicious. More so because I was in a huge caloric deficit, which was totally playing to my advantage when I came across this place. It carries a variety of flavors as well as other snacks. I highly recommend the waffles there though. Also... try and speak a little French even if you can't quite speak it, s'il vous plait. It isn't necessary but I did it and I don't speak the language, and it's worthwhile. Regardless, go get the waffle!
