Bethune Shopping - France

Clothes and interior decoration shops are of an excellent quality here but so keep an eye out for those regional specialities at Patisserie Remy who's 'Ane de Buridan' chocolates are named after the famous Bethune philosopher who wrote about a donkey who's indecision before a choice of food caused him to die of hunger!.
At La Prairie, regional cheeses are top of the list and Lecherbonnier the delicatessen butcher offers entire menus of delicious dishes to take home! In Bethune and Lens, you are likely to find Polish specialities imported by Polish miners (excellent Charcuterie Marzac) For wines try Les Vins Gourmands in Lens. Beer is very popular in this region. Brasserie Castelain at Benifontaine brews real ales that are well worth seeking out.
