Le bistrot gourmand sur Angouleme

15/08/2026: I usually buy macarons and other treats as gifts from this lovely biscuit shop when I'm invited somewhere. Yesterday, I went with a friend I was showing Angoulême to. We ate on the terrace, and she bought a box of macarons. Not being familiar with them, she asked for a taste. And then, a very awkward moment: we were given a tiny piece, very reluctantly and out of obligation! This reaction made us uncomfortable, and it's really not good customer service! We understand they can't offer a free sample to every customer, but still! The previous week, I had bought a box of macarons and some Bouteville balm as gifts. Well, this will be the last time, which is a shame because the products are excellent, but the service isn't this shop's strong point.
