Then he takes care of the processing, he does everything, dishes in jars, terrines, cold meats. The same goes for game. It is therefore an ultra-short cycle and circuit. We’re bringing a bit of Lozère to Bagnols!” In addition to meat products, the shop offers honey, cheese, yogurt, biscuits, flour, lentils, etc., again from Lozère farms. To run the store with Stéphanie Bonaldi, Sephora Chorlet, delighted to participate in the adventure: “I am an epicurean. These are beautiful products.
