The best pastry shops France

Nicolas Léger offers chocolates and pastries that are as beautiful as they are high quality. In this beautiful boutique with a refined look, the classics have an air of novelty, and the house creations are original and delicious. In individual cakes or to share, the gourmets are satisfied here. In addition to these delights, there are chocolates and numerous macaroons. And for special occasions, Nicolas Léger also takes orders. The reception orchestrated by Amandine is impeccable! An address not to be missed for the association of sugar and elegance. A favorite !

François Pralus has opened a beautiful boutique in Saint-Etienne with a burgundy front. You don't know him yet? Certainly you do, you know, it is this chocolate maker-pastry maker from Milan who offers you his famous pralulines, from brioches to pink pralines with a secret recipe and inimitable taste. The Pralus family owns cacao tree plantations in the north-west of Madagascar and makes chocolates from grand cru cacao to be enjoyed in the form of bars or fancy chocolates. A real delight... His productions are renowned throughout France! The flagship products: the pyramid of the tropics and the infernal bar.

Maison Le Daniel celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2023! For the occasion, it has created new limited-edition desserts. The holiday menu is always eagerly awaited. The creations of master pastry chef-chocolatier Laurent Le Daniel (MOF in pastry-making) can be enjoyed in the tearoom or at home. The Heart of Brittany is one of the house's best-sellers, a typically Breton cake with salted butter caramel, chocolate and a crunchy hazelnut cookie. We also confess to an addiction to caramel spread on crêpes - it's divine! On the catering side, brochettes, petits fours, mini-sandwiches, rustic canapés and pyramids of macaroons are a delight at all our events.

We've fallen in love with this new artisanal pastry-bakery in Luçon, with its elegant white façade and market bench. If you love éclairs, then this is the place to come: Alison won^2nd prize for best éclair in 2023! But that's not the only delicacy we love here. Everything is homemade and delicious! Generous traditional viennoiseries, fluffy brioche, creative pastries, entremets and chocolates, as well as a range of breads made with carefully selected flours.

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.

Pasquier & Co, welcome to Anaïs and Fabian! Breads, viennoiseries, but also modern, homemade cakes and creative proposals. You'll find panettone, éclair au chocolat, poire Tatin, tarti'Brest and Pomme Surprise. This shortbread tart, filled with a brunoise of fruit paste and hazelnut cream, is topped with white chocolate ganache and applesauce. The whole is decorated with vanilla chantilly and a little gold leaf on top. This cake, created for their appearance on M6, is a real treat!

Of course, the Artigarrède house is an exceptional pastry that puts on a handmade craft and treats the greedy. But we are not going to lie here, what we love, that we love, that we know, is the famous Russian! Almond biscuit biscuit, topped with a praline cream and a little more that passes from generation to generation, this jewel of gastronomy is here at home. A family case if it is, the cake follows a recipe dating from the th century and holds its name of the ingredients at the time imported from Crimea. In 1925, Adrien Artigarrède added her personal touch and opened his first boutique in Oloron-Sainte-Marie: success is at the meeting. Today, it is his grandson Jean-Paul Bassignana and his great grandson that perpetuate this béarnais, white symbol, such as snow-capped summits, which even has chocolate and coffee flavours. The Rosquille, another emblematic speciality, uses the Pyrenean tradition, this dry cake associated with the white wine of Jurancon was once the festive dessert of the Mountaineers to discover with another flagship signed Artigarrède, the Muscadine, truffle to praline!
