18/06/2025: An artisan bakery where every visit is a true pleasure!" I've been coming to this bakery regularly for several months now, and I can say without hesitation that it's one of the best I've ever experienced. As soon as you walk through the door, a delicious aroma of warm bread and fresh pastries envelops you, and the welcome is always just as warm. --- 🥖 Exceptional bread, worthy of great artisans The bread is a true delight. Whether it's the traditional baguette, the country-style baguette, the whole-wheat bread, or the seeded bread, each product is crispy, flavorful, and well-baked. You can feel the care taken in its making, with quality flours and controlled fermentation. There are even special loaves depending on the day, which allows for a variety of pleasures. The most impressive thing is that the bread stays good for several days, which is rare these days. It has flavor, holds its shape, and has real personality. --- 🥐 Artisanal pastries To die for It's impossible not to mention the pastries, which are fresh, generous, and meltingly soft. The croissant is perfectly golden, flaky, and not too greasy, and the pain au chocolat contains two beautiful melting bars. Special mention goes to the raisin roll and the homemade apple turnover: pure delight. They also offer small savory snacks (quiches, pizzas, fresh sandwiches) which are very practical for a lunch break or a snack. --- 🍰 Fine, homemade pastries The pastry section is elegant and tempting, and above all, you can immediately see that everything is made on-site, with taste and precision. The fruit tarts are generously filled, the desserts are beautifully finished, and the millefeuille is a real favorite. The products are neither too sweet nor too heavy: a true balance of flavors, with quality ingredients. It's perfect for a special occasion or just to treat yourself. Pleasure. --- 🧡 A welcoming welcome that's always cheerful and attentive The team is lovely, professional, and fast. Even when there's a line (and there often is, a testament to their success), the waitresses always smile and offer a kind word. We're always well served, with respect and attention, which makes all the difference. They remember their regulars, don't hesitate to recommend something new or offer a special gift to a child. It's this human connection that gives this bakery so much charm.
