The best bakeries Ariège

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.

Foix has many bakeries, but this one shines by its past, its originality and the quality of its bread. It has existed for more than a century and its wooden frontage reminds us of a medieval shop. The store smells good bread, croissants, flour... Thierry Massat, the baker who has been at the helm for 20 years, works in front of his 1901 wood oven. And what comes out of it is nothing but delight and sweetness: sourdough breads and pastries baked in wood and the ravaille (badly baked bread), a traditional bread. Delicious sandwiches in a whole baguette!

Every Friday Yannick Estebe welcomes you to the Estèbe bakery. Yannick defines himself as a peasant baker. Every week, he treats the village and the region to his delicious and original "Foursalou". It is an old wheat bread, semi wholemeal, with real leaven, kneaded by hand according to an artisanal method and finally, cooked on a wood fire. This loaf is made of flour that is ground on site. The salt comes from Noirmoutier, renowned for its quality. This bread, rich in fiber and perfectly dietetic, is labeled AB (organic).
