The best pastry shops Saône-Et-Loire

La Meulière, an organic artisan bakery founded in 1994 by Achim Schulzbongert, has always championed "eating well" for better health. An ethic shared by Théo Bouvier, who worked with this master baker for nine years and took over the business in 2022. The charming little store, with its rustic decor and stone millstone in front, is equipped with a mill for preparing organic wholemeal spelt flours and various flakes. Visitors come for the wide range of sourdough breads, viennoiseries, cakes and original snacks.

Jérémy Maigret opened Pâtisserie Polisson in the heart of Cluny in 2021. Here, he shares his vision of gourmet delights, marrying flavors to perfection in both traditional and more creative recipes. In the bread department, there's something for everyone: cereal bread, sourdough bread or simply traditional baguette. When it comes to pastries, we're particularly fond of our seasonal creations. As for viennoiserie, in 2023 the brand won second prize in the departmental competition for the best croissants and pains au chocolat.

L'Ambroisie, created by Alain Le Bourdoulou in 1997, is a true Chalonnaise institution. Renovated in 2021, the boutique, its façade and the tea room make the moment even more precious. While the macaroons and pastries are exceptional, each season has its own not-to-be-missed rendezvous. The galettes are one of them, so unique are the frangipane and the recipe. Another of L'Ambroisie's talents is its chocolates. An address that sublimates the classics of our gourmet subconscious.

Nicolas Germain's patisserie-chocolaterie is a paradise of sweet, fruit and chocolate specialties. Let yourself be tempted by the boxes of chocolate, the ballotin of Rocher de Solutré with its caramelized almonds coated in dark chocolate, the monk's truffles or the multiple assortments of sweet macaroons. A creator of good things, Nicolas Germain also invites you to sample his "Chocorange", pastels de Nata, savoury delights and, in summer, delicious artisanal ice creams, to enjoy on the terrace or to take away.

Located in a shopping area north of Chalon, the Baguépi bakery and patisserie is renowned for its many types of sandwich. The bread is made from carefully selected blends of flour. And since the end of 2023, a new pastry chef, Aurélien Ferré, has been on hand to offer new pastries alongside the classics, including his "Nuage à base de pop-corn, amande et coeur de framboise". Full of creativity for maximum pleasure.
