The best confectioners Manche

Well established on the Place de la Fontaine, in the heart of the Cherbourg hypercentre for more than forty years, the Yvard house is at the top of the list when it comes to pastry and chocolate. But not only: indeed, the tea room, located at the back of the shop, combines the pleasure of the taste buds, whether it is pastry or ice cream. If you haven't been here for some time, you will discover a brand new decoration, very successful.

Right in the centre, nobody can miss this colourful shop... especially not the kids! The specialty of the house? Sweets, of course! Berlingots and lollipops in as many different colours as their shapes jostle in this space! Violet, banana, strawberry, fruit cocktail, round or twisted? The sizes are also so varied that for the largest of the lollipops, you wouldn't know how to eat them! The taste and texture are not deceiving: all these sweets are made by hand on the spot.

The abbey of Valognes is a liturgical place, a notable architectural ensemble, but not only. Indeed, the Benedictine sisters also have a place where they make products that are worth being known: delicious fruit pastes. You should know that their recipe is well-guarded! Guaranteed without colouring, without preservatives, with natural fruit flavours, you will have the choice between ten traditional flavours, with or without chocolate coating, they are just perfect! Many other products are also available for sale in the shop.

It is with the milk jam that the history of the company begins. Since then, the family farm has started to produce other milk sweets: chocolates, berlingots, calvados cream or jams, which have been widely rewarded. The sign is also a splendid place, halfway between a flea market and a farm, in an old farmhouse. You also have a nice tea room, in a carefully thought rustic atmosphere. We love it!

Here is an establishment that lives up to its name! In a recently renovated store, with large windows and a chic white and black interior, the shop has a lot going for it. The pastries and breads are delicious, but it's the pastries that are worth the detour, as the place certainly offers some of the best creations in the field: the choice is vast and you won't know where to turn. Finally, note that the place is very easy to find in Barfleur, and that you can easily park nearby.
