The best pastry shops Vienne

For nearly sixty years, the orange and black window of the Trianon pastry shop has been attracting gourmets from the Couronneries district and aficionados of the Sunday market for its delicious pastries and beautiful pastries. In the window, chocolates, beggars, macaroons compete with the cakes. A must try? The Concerto, a marvel of chocolate mousses on a crispy bed. It's hard to resist when faced with so many delicacies. For birthdays, try a number cake! And in season, ice creams and home-made sorbets make their appearance. An address not to be missed in the district which perpetuates its know-how with brio.

The monks of Ligugé share with the Carmelite sisters of Niort a recipe whose ingredients (sugar, cream, eggs, flour and almonds) have formed the name of this specialty: the SCOFA. It is a mille-feuille with sheets of meringue pastry, on which cream and chopped almonds are placed. A delightful treat. Made in a square shape and in many formats, its composition seems rich, but it contains only 300 calories per 100 grams. You can find it in the store of the abbey of Ligugé, in the Carmel of Niort, as well as on certain markets.

Pastry star of the United States, the donut is declined to infinity. In Poitiers, you will find your happiness at Bali's.

You can take this delicacy away or enjoy it on the spot with a drink.
