LA TOQUE CUIVRÉE
Read moreA true emblem of Bordeaux, the canelé is a delicacy that dates back to the 16th century. It's a pastry made from flour, eggs, milk, vanilla and rum. And it's a real challenge to get a canelé that's soft on the inside and crisp on the outside. La Toque Cuivrée does it perfectly. Whatever store you go to, you'll always get a warm welcome and a choice of three sizes of canelés. You'll also be tempted by apple-prune tourtières, almond bordelais, chocolate fondant...

BOULANGERIE PÂTISSERIE DASSIÉ
Read moreSabine opens the bakery (and press office) at 6am. You will find various home-made breads and pastries, the famous pastis landais, brioche or long pastis, and above all, discover the Petit Futé, the lemon cake. It really looks like a homemade cake, well puffed up, a little bit browned. This is the work of the baker Alain. Soft and fragrant paste. At first glance, it is difficult to distinguish whether it is orange or lemon. A little advice, cut it into thin slices to accompany the coffee and, if there is any left over, freeze it: after a light toasting, the result is spectacular, it is as good as the day you bought it. Here's a bakery that's worth the detour.

That's fine with us, because a good tasting is better than a long speech! Do not deprive yourself. In the store, it is the lady who advises and explains the different varieties of chocolates. The golf ball is one of the original creations, like the Hossegor caviar, a delicacy to offer or to share. Individual or not, the pastries are made with fresh fruits. You will hesitate between the croissants with pine nuts, the Louise tart with caramel shortcrust pastry, the rum baba and its pipette, the spread, the home-made ice creams. Tea lovers will be able to choose from the range of Pagès teas. The locals and visitors are not mistaken, the famous Basque cake, plain or with morello cherry, remains a must.
