The best bakeries Yonne

If you pass by the shopping street "rue du Temple" and you see a queue in front of a small bakery, nothing is wrong: this is where you will certainly find the best breads in the city. And not only... Viennese pastries, tarts and pastries, sandwiches and other savory delights are just as excellent. Above all, when you enter here, you will discover the sweets concocted by Alexis Peuzin. A baker who, in January 2023, was awarded the Coupe de France de boulangerie at the SIRHA gastronomic show in Lyon!

Who said that our country villages were losing their businesses? The 900 inhabitants of Saint-Sauveur can rejoice in the opening last year of a second bakery-pastry shop. Alexis Leclerc and his partner Barbara will welcome you in their store where breads, pastries, pastries and even catering services will be offered. Almost 100% local, since organic flours, milk and honeys all come from local producers. Even the sandwiches, filled with the sweetness of the Guyolot delicatessen located just next door, in Fontenoy!

Ideally located on avenue Charles-de-Gaulle, a few hundred meters from downtown Auxerre, this warm and welcoming bakery-pastry shop offers appetizing products, with a predilection for special breads, such as the one with cheese and bacon or the one with nuts. Let's not forget the wide variety of sandwiches, each more tasty than the next. Finally, don't leave without tasting the excellent homemade gougères. Note that a second store is present in Auxerre, located at 10 voie Romaine.

A stone's throw from several wine estates, this bakery is unfortunately one of the few shops still open in the centre of the town. David Paris has taken over the business run since the late 1950s by Michel Depardieu. A local celebrity, as it was he who imagined the famous Saint-Bris croquets that can now be found in many delicatessens in the region. Run out and taste them; but we warn you: once tested, you really can't do without them!

"Le Moulin d'Arnaud" offers breads kneaded and baked on the spot, and it is a pleasure to see the wide range of choices: the pavé de rye, the pavé de châtaigne, or the Pain du Mineur with wheat and chicory, the Pavé d'Eon plain or with chorizo, without forgetting pastries, such as apricot oreillettes or mini donuts filled with strawberry or chocolate/nut. From "La Tentation", Arnaud's other address (located rue de l'hôpital) to the "Moulin d'Arnaud" there is only one step that gourmets will easily take!

Here you will find a sourdough bread which has become a speciality of the house, so characteristic by its delicately pronounced taste. Also on display are special breads, with spelt or chestnut flour. Not forgetting the delicacies and other sweet and savoury pastries, including tasty gougères. For your family events, don't hesitate to order a "pièce montée", it will certainly be very original! In short, if you have a sweet tooth, this is an excellent address to visit when you are in Saint-Sauveur!

Facing the bridge, the shop that opens very early in the morning offers its breads, chocolates, pastries, sandwiches and cakes and pancakes!

Notice to all gourmets! The Chablisien Pillar is one of the town's specialities: a delicacy made of white chocolate filled with a praline ganache and grapes macerated in marc de Bourgogne... A little wonder, among all the other sweet (and savoury) treats offered by Stéphane and Virginie Boucher, two enthusiasts who have been bakers and pastry chefs for over 30 years. We also recommend their tasty gougères. In short, run to discover their creations, you won't regret it!
