MAISON PIERRE MOREL
Read moreRecently renovated, this window boutique, described as "macaron heaven", invites you to sample this so chic delicacy, which Pierre Morel has been playing with since 2012. In the freshness of his boutique, you'll find macarons with flavors that are sometimes classic, sometimes original, like the one combining lychee, rose and raspberry, and certainly of great finesse. As Brittany obliges, salted butter caramel has its place in a recipe where it is king, and in another where it shares the limelight with chocolate. Be careful, not a crumb will be left!

LES TÊTES DE MEULE
Read moreReconciling people and the profession is the ambition of this cooperative, which was born in 2021 and produces exclusively bread and buns. Originally, the Têtes de meule had three fixed ideas: to create a SCOP, to make sourdough bread and to limit the environmental impact. Here, every ingredient is sourced locally (local flours, Arradon salt, pure sourdough) and all the products - from the emblematic Pain du Golfe (wheat, rye, buckwheat) to the Sinagot (flaxseed and hemp) to the Gacht! al brioche (60% large spelt) - are homemade.
