The best pastry shops Bouches-Du-Rhône

Talented and creative, gifted pastry chef Florian Grad, originally from Alsace, apprenticed with Emile Jung, the starred chef of the Crocodile in Strasbourg. Then it was in the south, notably at the Villa Madie in Cassis, that Florian perfected his technique. Victoire marks a new beginning in 2021, a four-handed work with Inès, his pastry companion who brings her feminine touch to the creations, with the common requirement of the quality of the ingredients and the reasoned quantity of fats and sweets. Signature and ephemeral cakes, great classics revisited, seasonal entremets and pastries are unanimously acclaimed beyond the village of Puyricard. Victoire lives up to its name.

Shanty cookies is a crazy and humorous idea that crossed the mind of an Aixoise of Indian origin: to decline small messages on pure butter cookies. Since the very beginning, first in her apartment and now in her manufacturing premises in Vitrolles, Shanty has been producing her pure butter cookies in an artisanal way, plain or with different flavors such as lemon, chocolate, hazelnut... From the dough to the parcel sent by her, she does it all! Give her your message to print, a logo, a drawing: our favorites: "mommy is busy, sweetheart", "looking for a rich brown guy" or "I declare you my laziness"... and now in mini format for a funny aperitif!

This is one of the city's oldest pastry shops, dating back to 1870. A tempting window display and generous pastries with just the right amount of sugar and butter. Whether you come here for melon confit, calissons, biscotins (hazelnuts surrounded by a butter cookie), olives de Provence (almonds surrounded by flaky chocolate) or a tarte au citron (exquisite), you won't be disappointed. The cannelés are extra special, as is the pompe à l'huile, one of the thirteen Christmas desserts. Special mention for the galette des rois. Béchard's frangipane has that little something extra... hazelnut cream, it seems. Too bad, kings only come once a year!

Japanese chef Masaki Yamamoto's patisserie is undoubtedly one of the city's most delicious. Whether you're looking for individual or shared cakes, regional or refined entremets, there's something for everyone! The pastries, which are extremely varied and change from day to day, offer fine combinations that are sometimes daring, but always successful. The colorful, sophisticated presentation of the cakes matches their taste, and the service is friendly and efficient. Whether it's the traditional coffee éclair or the raspberry-poppy macaron, everything is exquisite.

In the Weibel family since 1954, and still one of the best patisseries in Aix! Calissons and macaroons, exquisite mignardises, classic entremets - the showcases of this master chocolatier, ice-cream maker, pastry chef and confectioner are a showcase for gourmet delights. You can sit inside or on the terrace at coffee or tea time. Of course, everything is available to take away, but the strategically-placed shop also allows you to "bader"! On order, we'll make your birthday cakes or the pièce montée for the happiest day of your life.

A provence reference in the area of gourmet gastronomy, the family sign was founded in 1780. As a Pastry Master, the Best worker in France, Philippe Segond put his creative talent at the service of this house from 2013 to 1982, he made his fame beyond our borders. This artisan craftsman has launched a new challenge by creating his new eponymous brand and new recipes. Always manufactured with the requirement that has made its reputation, its new collections offer flavors and textures of character and contrast. Creations that revisitent tradition and sublime taste with modernity. Don't wait to eat on the spot, with a tea or a great coffee, (or to take away) the delicious variations such as Secret of the Sisters, Sage, Storm, Sensation the Snob, the Signature and so many other delicacies that all start with a S! Calissons also make us always melt pleasure…

Born from the meeting of two adventurers with a love of travel and sweets, this patisserie is a delight. Here you'll find a boutique entirely dedicated to the savoir-faire of Clément Higgins and Aurélie Pauletto. Nothing conventional, just traditional revisited: Marseille-Brest, Frambois'Yeah or Cookie Dingler. It's highly recommended to treat yourself. Probably the most original pastry shop in Marseille. Some of you will recognize the host of the famous M6 show devoted to the best pastry chefs.

In the bakery, you can choose from a wide range of special breads: the traditional French baguette, rye and lemon bread, corn bread, etc. The list is not exhaustive; you should go there to choose the bread that best suits the dish that will accompany it. At Christmas and Easter, it is best to order in advance. As for the pastries, there are sure-fire favourites such as calissons, croquants and the famous home-made marshmallow. Add a very pleasant welcome and you have a good address to know, just a stone's throw from the Place du Forum.

This bakery and patisserie is a must. The bread range is fabulous. These include Le Paisou sourdough or wholemeal, the best in the region. But also their special breads like Nortman pain noir des Viking or the tasty pain sportif! As for their pastries, the traditional Paris Brest, Ambassadeur or Saint Honoré. Special mention should be made of Josephine's apple and lavender tarts. And don't miss their addictive King's cakes and Easter chocolates!

There are the emblematic Marseillaises and then there are the Aixoises... The navettes, made by Laëtitia in the lab adjoining the store, are different but just as good as their cousins. Flour, butter, eggs, orange blossom: the ingredients are the same for this long, tender, boat-shaped cookie, a commemorative symbol of the arrival of the Saintes Marie on our Provencal shores. Laëtitia adds her biscuit-making touch, and also makes macaroons, almond croquants, canistrelli and olive oil cake.

"Encore un morceau" is the story of a cry you might utter when tasting one of Sophie Lovergne's creations in her Endoume boutique. But above all, it's the beautiful story of a young woman from Montpellier, who lost her way in the capital before returning to the South of France, with a CAP in pastry-making and a passion firmly anchored within her. In her pretty, bluish boutique, you can sample her homemade pastries and sweets, including babkas, cookies and shortbread to die for. Choux pastries are also available for those with a sweet tooth. Sophie also offers workshops.

The excellence of Les Roches Blanches continues to amaze us. After being captivated by the hotel's beauty, after having enjoyed the hotel's various restaurants, here's a new project, a natural extension of the establishment more in the heart of the village of Cassis. A magnificent boutique offering pastry creations and a delicatessen corner. Magnificent cakes imagined by pastry chef Valentin Fabry and executive chef Nicolas Sintes. Finesse, beauty for the eyes and flavors for the taste buds.

It's a feeling you'll never forget! Tasting croissants and pains au chocolat from La Galette Ceyrestenne... Perhaps the best croissants and pains au chocolat in town... At least, that's what we think! The Cordou family is also renowned for its famous oil pumps, which come in a variety of flavors at Christmas time. They were first marketed in 1921. At the beginning of February, for the Fête de la Saint-Blaise, the Torque, a delicious aniseed brioche, takes center stage.

Known as an outstanding and discreet artisan, Vincent Dubreucq is certainly one of the city's most gifted pastry chefs, if not the most brilliant. And yet, despite a small success in the Saint-Barnabé district, his name is not necessarily at the top of lists of must-try pastry shops. A bit like his sober boutique, which looks more like a bakery (with incredible viennoiseries and good bread) than a fine pastry shop. Let yourself be charmed by his creations of unparalleled finesse and balance: the Saint-Honoré, the Camarguais and even his flan pâtissier or incredible cookies. Addictive and always affordable.

The Maison Gaillardet is above all a family history, a history of taste for good products. Their cult creation, the tasty Troprovençale! A brioche with orange blossom, topped with vanilla mousseline cream and sprinkled with sugar snow. To our delight, they offer different versions of this tasty brioche: chocolate, praline, chestnut cream, pistachio, lemon, strawberry or raspberry. We can't recommend any of them because they are all addictive.
