La Brûlerie, an artisan coffee roastery in Abbeville since 1920

​

Since 1920, La Brûlerie has been part of Abbeville’s story. Now at its new address on Rue des Lingers, it continues to uphold the art of traditional coffee roasting. At the roaster’s blue-and-silver machine, Guillaume Chastagner relies on his experience and a keen ear to bring out the best in every bean.
