It is true that the gentleman has a beautiful past: Nantais trained at Debotté's, he worked at the Palais in Biarritz, at Martinez in Cannes, at Plaza and Bristol in Paris. Just that... All his cakes make us melt with pleasure. Special mention for the madeleines, the Goût de paradis (mango-passion, coconut mousse) and the Tatin tart, made of a caramelized apple placed on a Breton pallet... The simple tarts do not deserve it. This bakery and pastry shop along Trousseau Square is also a tea room.

In the Weibel family since 1954, and still one of the best patisseries in Aix!

Espi has been a real institution for more than 40 years. In the showcases, pastries always line up very chocolate creations, fruit mousses, pies, saint-honoré, colourful palette of macaroons... it is hard to choose where to start, everything is beautiful and tempting. However, it is a pity that the portions somewhat has decreased (but not the prices) since the venerable house has made by the excellent Confiserie du Tech. Chocolate and tourons displays, which are also "homemade", excite our greed. From 8:00 am, still warm pastries and bread freshly baked fill the shop. For those who have time, it is best to enjoy on the spot; the cosy and refined tea room or the terrace on the quai Vauban are perfectly suitable.

In 1848, Françoise Guilloud married Pierre Labully. Originally from France, she married this Savoyard while Saint-Genix was still under the sovereignty of Piedmont-Sardinia. In her luggage, she took with her the secret recipe for a brioche scented with orange blossom. Her husband added his personal touch by adding pralines to the original recipe, and it was under the name of "Gâteau Labully" that he marketed it, eclipsing the Saint-Genix appellation. This confusion persists to this day, with many variations.
