Epices & Riz

For Spices & Rice, we are a bit like Jean who cries and Jean who laughs.

Jean who cries because Pascal Commissaire has decided to close his business, which he started in Le Mont in 1998. We are very grateful to Pascal Commissaire for establishing Epices & Riz in Le Mont. He delighted us with his carefully selected products. His smiling welcome made every visit to his shop a warm experience, rich in stories and advice. We wish him good health and a retirement full of passion.

Jean is smiling because Alexia Bertauche is taking over Pascal Commissaire's business, meaning that the Epices&Riz adventure continues!

Come and meet Alexia Bertauche, to whom we owe the fact that we are not deprived of fine foods in Le Mont. Born into a family for whom the food and retail trades hold few secrets, this native of Burgundy lived in the town from 2003 to 2005 and is already planning to move back. Her professional background is impressive: after studying at the Semur-en-Auxois Hotel School, she worked at the Beau Rivage, then at Globus for seven years, and finally in a delicatessen in Lausanne for 14 years. In this Ali Baba's cave, whose vintage feel appealed to her (she feels like she is entering the shop her grandparents used to run), Alexia Bertauche will offer the flagship products that Pascal Commissaire has made us addicted to, complementing the range with carefully selected specialties that showcase, in particular, Lausanne artisans and... Burgundy mustards.
