Biscuit shops France

Since 1964, Maison Bruyère in Lagrave has been delighting gourmets with its sweet dry cookies. From its modest beginnings in 1964 with Sudbiscuits, the company has evolved under the passionate direction of three generations of the Bruyère family. Fondant, crisp, crunchy... regional specialties such as chalumeaux, oreillettes, navettes d'Albi and gaufres liégeoises are revisited by Léa Bruyère, Christian's youngest daughter, who continues the family legacy. Sold in over 15 countries around the world, Maison Bruyère products are a delight to discover and enjoy.

The Lencloître cookie factory was founded in 1960 by Guy Gâteau. Since then, the traditional recipes for broyés and other sweets have remained unchanged. Handcrafted with local flours and fresh butter, there are of course the traditional Poitou "broyés", in a large version to share or in small format, but also with caramel, chocolate chips... and galettes with fleur de sel d'Oléron. Crushed and other cakes are also available in organic versions.

These craftsmen of the taste are established on the road of the gorges of the Tarn. Catherine and Laurent Deparpe make in their laboratory, jams, syrups and cookies, among which a sweet gram (the beaver almond praline, hazelnuts) and another of aperitifs from local cheeses (Aubrac, Rodez and Roquefort) but also thyme, parmesan. The flour comes from the Trescanous Mill in Aveyron. The syrups are only pasteurized (no coloring or preservatives). The blueberry and lemon jams are a delight.

La Petite Doloise is a 100% organic artisan cookie factory with a wide range of cookies to suit all tastes! Inspired by Comté cheese and gaudes, or Anglo-Saxon shortbreads and scones, some are vegan or gluten-free. All are made without preservatives, colorants or other chemicals. They can be tasted on site in the tearoom, where a brunch (reservation required) is occasionally organized in collaboration with Brûlerie Comtoise. The cookie factory is now located inside the Brûlerie comtoise.

Gourmets beware: it's impossible to leave Poitou without tasting its famous galettes and broyers (to be broken with the fist!). Head to Brioux-sur-Boutonne, to Chez Patissèvre, a biscuit-maker who carries on the recipes of the famous Goimier regional patisserie founded in 1987. Here, galettes and broyers are made to the highest standards. The flour is local, the eggs fresh, the butter of quality and the know-how intact. Other recipes to discover: the unmissable tourteau fromagé, melloise, macaroné, galette charentaise...

Ah, the Jahan cheese cake! The local specialty par excellence. Some might say its black crust is ominous, but it's a real fresh, moist cake that's hidden inside. The Jahan company has preserved the original recipe, that of a cow's curd soufflé cake that a farmer forgot in her oven. Oops! But what a surprise to open it and discover its sweetness! You can find these little artisanal marvels and other delicacies such as croquants de Saint-Benoît in the factory store. An absolute must.

A native of the region, Simon Rouchier is now a farmer-confectioner. A former chocolatier who wanted to move into arboriculture, he decided to combine his two passions: confectionery and agriculture. On 2 hectares, he grows organic apricots, apples, plums, blackcurrants, strawberries, raspberries, redcurrants and blackberries. In his artisanal workshop, he transforms them into sweet delights: candied fruits coated in chocolate, fruit jellies, but also nectars, syrups, jams and even nougat, hence the name of his small business: Au nougat ardéchois. Gourmets melt!
