Biocoop Jaures

This organic store offers several vegetarian/vegan products, from vegetables and fruits to cereals and faux-meat. It's a really practical shop network in France. This place is pleasant and very central in Toulouse even if not very big. There is only a very small butchery inside (3-4 produce) so you won't have to endure meat views too much. As other organic shops, I find that prices are a bit high.

My hotel was just up the road from here so I stopped by to get supplies when I arrived, and wow, do I wish there was something like this near where I live! I usually struggle when I go abroad finding somewhere to buy tofu, non-dairy yoghurt/cheese and gluten-free biscuits, but this place had it all, plus a deli counter, dozens of flavoured teas, chicory coffee, soya milk, and lots more 'cupboard stock' that I didn't even get to look at. I was only in town for a few days so didn't need much on this visit, but this will definitely be my first stop when I go back. Seemed popular with the locals too as it was busy every time I walked past it - the only downside being that it was a bit crowded at times! Very friendly staff too: anyone who can put up with me fumbling about trying to tell my Euros apart at the till gets a big thumbs up! :-) If you're in Toulouse, and want good quality vegetarian or vegan products, stock up here.
