Here's the schedule:

Bakery Van:  Bread delivered everyday except Mondays - Christine arrives in the village at about Baguettes_kingarthurflour 10:30am and makes various stops, selling bread, eggs, croissants; pain au chocolat and pastries. Listen for the bell!

Butcher:
Meat Van arrives every Wednesday between 11:00 - 11:30 am and is found in the car parking area opposite the Mairie.

Fresh Fruit and Vegetables: In July and August, fresh fruit and vegetables from local producers are availble every day in two places: !) opposite the gas station in Faugeres or 2)from the van parked by the Karting at the entrance to Caussiniojouls as you exit the D909.

The Intermarche in Magalas - closest big grocery store

View interviewmarch Although we mostly shop in the open air markets in the villages around Caussi and take advantage of the much bigger weekly markets in Bedarieux and Pezenas for fresh fruits, vegetables, poulet roti, cheeses, and all manner of patisserie, we count on the Intermarche in Magalas, 10 minutes away, down route 909, past the vineyards for all sort of basic supplies (drinks,paper supplies, yogurt, breakfast cereal, etc.). 

And this being France, this local super market has a fishmonger in full high boots manning a fish store with fresh oysters, fish, and shellfish of the region.  And lots of local fruits and vegetables and wines from nearby.  Eating local is a way of life in France!

Here's a link to the Magalas Intermarche for specials, sales etc. etc.

The store hours are:

Mon-Sat Open 8:30 am to 7:30 PM

Sunday: Open 9 am to 12:30 pm

Market Days Near Caussi

Pezenas Market   One of the joys of life in Caussi in shopping in local village markets each day.  With the freshest produce and great oysters from the Intermarche, we often dine in splendor on the terrace. 

The most authentic, agricultural market is arguably Bedarieux.  And the Saturday market in Pezenas (see photo) is totally charming, filled with handicrafts and in a spot surrounded by excellent spots for lunch, Medieval architecture, and antique shops.

Market day in the villages around Caussi are listed below (and every day is market day in Les Halles in Beziers, open until early afternoon):

 Monday: Bedarieux (don't miss), Valras Plage


Tuesday: Roquebrun, Olanzac, Lamalou les Bains


Wednesday: Magalas (near by)


Thursday: Laurens (next village), St. Chinian (a bit of a hike but great wine area)


Friday: Autignac,Roquebrun, Beziers flower market


Saturday: Pezenas (don't miss)


Saturday and Sunday in the summer: Marseillan Place (Huge open air flea market)


Sunday: Capestang (on the Canal du Midi)


Here's what one of Caussi's visitors reported:

“The Monday market in Bedarieux was excellent. So was the little butcher shop/traiteur on the main streets in Bedarieux--we got some excellent sheep cheese, sausage, locally grown Charolais beef, and lovely eggs from Madame's little poules. Also wonderful were the nut tarts we got from Sylvain Ricot's truck in Villemagne (one day we went to Bousquet sur Orb, where the Ricot patisserie is located to get some more for an airplane picnic). “
