Madeleines de Saint-Yrieix Le Croquembouche1. SWEET and SALTY!
La madeleine de Saint-YrieixSmall, golden, pot-bellied cakes in the shape of a scallop shell. For some, the madeleine is closely associated with the route to Santiago de Compostela, for others with Commercy.
A journeyman confectioner popularized it in Saint-Yrieix in the mid-19th century. La Maison Bijou” gradually established Arie’s expertise in this field throughout the Limousin and beyond. The traditional madeleine from Saint-Yrieix is made from quality ingredients (flour, butter, sugar, eggs). Preservative-free, it is distinguished by its incomparable softness and bitter almond flavor.
You’ll find all our artisans on hand to help you make your purchases, each with their own speciality: chocolate, Grand Marnier, raspberry, apple and even savoury!

2. FROM APERITIF TO DESSERT
Apples from the Limousin PDO and chestnutsIn the 50s, the first Golden apples blossomed in the fertile soil of Limousin, “land of a thousand springs”. This is how the Limousin came to ripen in its high-altitude orchards, endowed with exceptional keeping qualities that make it one of the most popular apples all year round.
Crisp, juicy and fragrant, it is the only French apple to have been awarded the AOP (Appellation d’Origine Protégée).
Follow the “Route de la Pomme” to meet producers, restaurateurs and craftsmen.
And don’t forget the chestnut, which can be made into flour, chestnut cream or liqueurs!

4. THE PINK OF OUR BEAUTIFUL LIMOUSINES
Limousine meatJeune Bovin de Saint-Yrieix: a specialty produced exclusively in the Saint-Yrieix basin, veal from Saint-Yrieix requires a great deal of patience and attention. This calf (male or female) must be born on the farm, from two parents of the Limousin breed, and fed on its mother’s milk, supplemented by feed produced on the farm. This unique production method gives the meat its pinkish color and melt-in-the-mouth texture.
Our artisan butchers supply meat from Limousin cattle raised on our own farms and grazed in the Limousin countryside.
