Bakers
We are fortunate to have two boulangeries in the village. The best is in the centre of the village beside the church; (Place de l’Eglise: 07:00 – 12:30 and 16:00 – 19:00, closed Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday all day). The second is on the edge the old village just up from the Café du Siècle.
Butcher
Also blessed with Boucherie Latard on Place de ‘l’Eglise. Roquefort sausages are to die for and you know the burgers are the best, pure beef as they are cut before your eyes.
06:30 – 12:30 and 15:30 – 19:00. Closed Monday. Half day Sunday.
Other Village Shops
There is a good newsagent just down from the church and a tabac on the upper road opposite the Café du Siècle. There are several gift shops and wine shops, two bicycle hire outfits and a post office, La Poste ( Monday to Friday, 9h00 to 12h00 and 13h30 to 16h30 ; Saturday 9h00 to 11h30) beside the Hôtel de Ville (the town hall).
The Office de Tourisme is just along from La Poste on the boulodrome.
Markets
Beaumes de Venise | Tuesday morning | Small but nice. |
