The best bakeries Seine-Maritime

At the Vatelier family, the whole family is involved. While Benoît reigns supreme in the laboratory, Marie-Pierre is in charge of the shop.

An ideal setting to enhance salted butter caramels, the house's flagship products, but also apricot almond pies, three chocolates or pistachio strawberry... Not to mention cakes, desserts, macaroons, golden buns, raspberry farandoles and the famous chocolate cake or round or heart-shaped "travel cake", which literally melts in your mouth and is a hit with lovers throughout the city. Les Vateliers also think of your hosts to whom you can offer mini-macarons, mini-verrines and mini-friends to share at the end of the meal or at tea time.

Since the opening of the first franchise in Rouen, Paul has multiplied in town… like little breads!

In Villey, the bakery is primarily a family affair. For Amélie and her brother Maxime, there is nothing like the fine taste of chocolate, fresh fruit, cereals, pistachio cream or raspberry coulis… In this lovely boutique near the Saint-Sever shopping centre, Maxime Villey practices his craft with passion: special breads, but also madeleines, spoliers, spoon biscuits, meringues, cookies and roses, are entirely homemade. Among the desserts, Norman pies, macaronades, and raspberry and pistachio tarts have become a must, enriched by fresh fruit and chocolate verrines. Gourmets and gourmands find it here!
