Nestled amongst the many bijou boutiques on Marmion Road is Lusseau, a brand new independent food store dedicated to French produce. Run by the charming Marie Lusseau, the store sells everything from cheeses, pates, tinned goods, freshly baked goods to vintage clocks, french cookbooks and other gallic inspired items. Although having only been open for eight weeks, the shop is already a firm favourite with many locals, with her croissants and other delicacies flying out of the door. Being the perfect host, Marie sat me down with a cup of Earl Grey and a croissant (amazingly buttery) and talked me through some pretty exciting plans for the shop, including wine and cheese evenings (licence providing) and French christmas hampers. Sounds like just the shop I have been waiting for! I wish Lusseau all the best for the future and I look forward to becoming a regular.
