Biscuit shops Normandy

The Biscuiterie de Quinéville in Saint-Vaast, with its pretty store stocked daily, offers not only wonderful cakes, but also a number of local products that we love. There's also a tea room where you can enjoy pastries overlooking the harbour. We particularly like the terrace in summer. Special mention for the caramels, some of the best in the area. Give in to temptation and you'll never regret it!

Who hasn't heard of the sablé de l'abbaye? This delicious Normandy speciality with Isigny butter was created over a century ago by the baker of Lonlay-l'Abbaye. Forgotten after the First World War, its recipe was revived by Georges Lautour (also a baker) in 1941. In 1964, his son and son-in-law created the Biscuiterie. Since 2003, the company has been committed to preserving artisanal know-how through a factory store and tours of its workshops. At the end of 2024, you will discover an enlarged store and a museum.

This is Ali Baba's cave of gourmet pleasure! There are ignorant who pass without even conceiving what they are missing and connoisseurs who are working extra hard to not miss a crumb of it. Lovers of sweets, biscuits, macaroons, soft and financiers, the traditional biscuit factory of Sannerville is a place of treasures where you absolutely need to enter and where you will not leave unscathed. A tuile (with almonds), once served, finishes delicately in your mouth! Macaroon salted butter caramel, soft chocolate, noisettin, crunchy, old-style biscuits, frosted Norman hole in the calvados, financier with fig, financier tatin, old-style shortbread, almonds and peanuts sweet, with chocolate... it is so good that it makes us melt. The sweet values having now a well-established fame, their sweet little sisters could quickly reach them. Guests will be surprised with, for example, the latest, the P'tit Gaulois which is served with foie gras or the P'tit Gaulois with algae that you like to take with seafood. Try, you will surely be one of the precursors before the biscuit becomes "trendy". To stir our gluttony, Nadine and Loïc Vautier open their workshop endearingly installed here in the heart of Normandy countryside since 1992. Their traditional and family know-how can create a sensation during your banquets and weddings. Opportunities for which the workshop is increasing its efforts to achieve, for example, a beautiful wedding cake, a metre high, composed of 500 macaroons among others! The visit is essential as tasting is available free of charge. If, as we think, you succumb to the temptation, cookies will keep the freshness and flavour, carefully packaged in their beautiful presentation box. Futé affair: although you are a goldsmith, small imperfections can always slip into completion. So, jump on the "displaced" with identical taste but available at discounted rates.

He produces his own flour with the wheat he grows and, for a few months now, Thomas Leconte, "paysan biscuitier", has taken a further step by opening his own shop in Granville, called Les Délices d'autrefois. A particularly good name since the flavours of yesteryear come back to your taste buds when you taste one of his shortbread, waffles, pancakes and breads. The reason? Beyond the products, obviously organic, the recipes used are exactly the same as those of the past. To discover imperatively!

Chic! The Bisson family perpetuates its delicious savoir-faire. After twelve years of flourishing bakery-pastry business in Dives-sur-Mer, a cookie factory has opened in Bénouville. La Fournée des Délices is a family affair: Philippe, a keen pastry chef and medallist in several regional competitions, makes a variety of cookies according to old-fashioned recipes, including his famous Sablénouville. Françoise, his wife, runs the store. And Kévin, their son, is in charge of marketing this new gourmet adventure.

Just like its twin establishment, located not far from here, in Ardevon, this nice sign of the well-known pastry brand offers cakes and many other sweet little wonders. The youngest - but not only - will be delighted to find something to eat here, before or after the visit of Mont Saint-Michel, located just next door. You can easily park here, the opening hours are wide, since this workshop is open every day from morning to evening!

Excellent creations and a magnificent location: the Sainte-Mère-Église cookie store lives up to all its promises! Renowned for the quality of their manufacture and the care given to raw materials, the creations come in cookies, chocolates, confectionery and a thousand other wonders. You'll also find many other delicatessen offerings here, as well as an excellent tearoom, so you can savour the local cookies as quickly as possible!
