Just behind the place du Panthéon, in a small side street, the journey has begun! In this 13th century building, A Loghja (The vault) has just opened. Push open the doors of this former bookshop and inhale the wonderful scents of Corsican products. Here, everything is Corsican, from the charcuterie, to the cheese including the jams. Nicolas Caumer owner of an eponymous grocery store in Calvi, wanted to showcase Corsica through this Parisian outlet. All the products are authentic Corsican. The famous Pierlovisi charcuterie (starting at 36 € le kilo), Brocciu from Sisti and Savelli (6€90), Canarelli wines (6€50) or jams made from Corsican chestnuts (4€90). And for a « spuntinu » the Corsican picnic, settle at one of the ten-person communal tables in the backroom of the boutique in front of a tasty plate of charcuterie or cheese (12 €) with a nice glass of Peraldi (5 €). Close your eyes and you well get a sense of the « maquis », the famed Corsican countryside.
