The best confectioners Calvados

Next to the Halle aux Grains, in the heart of Bayeux, a world of sweets opens up to you. With your nose glued to the window of LadyNath, you will discover nougatines, meringues, lollipops, caramels... Here everything is handmade and reminds you of the smells of your childhood. We fall in love with the pretty pastel berlingots with fifty flavours. Nathalie did not forget to bring back from the coast, where she was based, the ancestral recipe of the famous Gui-Gui, a soft candy twisted around a stick. There is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory but there is also "Nathalie and the Confectionery"!

From their humble stall in Vimont to their premises in Argences, Aurélie and Ghislain are unstoppable. because "the delight is in the unexpected", this complicit duo has us salivating as they relax our zygomatic muscles. Chocolates, sweets, cookies and confectionery always fill the shelves. With the added bonus of a delicatessen and a tea room, it's the perfect place to sample the speciality of pommes au Calvados: a liquid heart of AOC calvados coated in homemade marzipan. Hmm! A merchant of happiness that puts you in a good mood.

As soon as you enter this promising little shop, you are torn between the colourful and well-stocked shelves and the smile of the saleswoman. About fifty varieties of jams will make your head spin and countless calvados, as the name of the shop announces, will add to your dizziness. The jams are the work of Dame Rhubarbe, a good fairy who officiates a stone's throw from Honfleur, and who only buys her nectars from local producers. Stop on the flower of salt milk jam, much more subtle than salted butter caramel and definitely divine! Calvados are also more than fifty in number, divided between the Domfront tradition - a blend of pear and apple -, the Pays d'Auge PDOs with double distillation, and the classic and essential single-distillation calvados. From this visit, we keep a sweet taste: we dipped our finger in the jars or almost, and the welcome leaves a smile on our lips.
