After a century without a baker, the village of Montsegur saw the arrival of Cyril Delmas, a local child, as "blessed bread" in 2014. Cyril is more than a baker and built his own oven like a cast iron model from the 1900s. He shapes and bakes his bread the old-fashioned way, with beech wood, sourdough, organic flours, ground by stone millstones and Montcalm mineral water! Is it necessary to specify that this bread is a real delight? It can also be found on the tables of many excellent restaurants in the Ariège.
