DELICES & CASTELOIR

Go around the town hall and down this little street. Denis Leroux's boutique is well worth a visit, not only for his warm welcome, but also for the many local products on display. You'll find a whole range of products from the Sarthe region, including charcuterie and confectionery such as pierre de Pontlieue, as well as products from outside the Sarthe. You'll find foies gras as well as tapenades from the South-East or fish terrines from Sologne... We appreciate the care he takes in selecting the products he offers. But you might also be tempted by the idea of putting together a gourmet parcel... to suit your taste or curiosity. He's also working on exclusives like Casteloir, an aperitif made with Coteaux du Loir wines and fruit cream. Red, rosé or white, to be enjoyed in moderation. We liked the Esprit de Casteloir jams, also in white, red or rosé, which retain the taste of the wine. There are also rillettes de canard au jasnières and rillettes de campagne au jasnières... a welcome change from the traditional. After a visit to his store, you're sure to find a souvenir or two to take home for yourself or a friend.
