Why Not Go… to ABC Terroirs?
Why I’m Obsessed with This Little Gift Shop in Nantes, France
Sometimes, the best travel discoveries come when you least expect them. On my recent trip to Nantes, France, I stumbled upon a tiny haven that turned into one of my favorite memories of the entire journey. That place is ABC Terroirs — a charming gift shop that quickly became my go-to spot, and I can’t recommend it enough.

How I Found ABC Terroirs
The story of ABC Terroirs actually began with a bit of travel chaos. When I arrived at my Airbnb, I realized the key had been left with this local shop. I followed the directions and entered ABC Terroir, eager yet a bit anxious to retrieve it. What could have been a hassle turned into a delightful encounter.
Not only was the shop owner incredibly kind and welcoming, but I soon found that ABC Terroirs was a treasure trove of unique, local gifts. I was so impressed that I found myself coming back multiple times during my stay — once just to browse, and other times to grab those perfect souvenirs.

1. Unique Local Gifts
Every item in the shop is carefully selected and represents the best of the region. From handcrafted artisanal goods and specialty foods to beautiful souvenirs that you won’t find elsewhere, ABC Terroirs is a place where the local culture truly shines. In fact, I ended up using their products for almost all my souvenirs — giving gifts that felt truly special and authentic to friends and family back home.
2. Fantastic Liquor Selection
One of my favorite features of ABC Terroirs is their impressive selection of liquors. The owner’s deep knowledge of the products made picking out a bottle not just easy, but also fun. Whether you’re an expert or a curious beginner, their expert recommendations help you discover unique flavors local to the region.
3. Warm Hospitality
It’s rare to find a place where you feel instantly welcomed like a friend, but that’s exactly what happened here. The shop owner’s friendliness and genuine passion for his shop made my visits feel personal and special. He was always happy to chat, share stories, and provide insights about Nantes and its culture.

I want to be clear—this is not a sponsored post. I just genuinely loved ABC Terroirs and wanted to share my experience. It’s one of those rare gems that make traveling more memorable.
