Arlette is the name of Caroline's grandmother, who gave her a taste for good patisserie. A graduate of the Ferrandi school in Paris, a benchmark...

Dunes Blanches are the brainchild of Pascal Lucas, a baker in Grand Piquey. His famous crunchy puffs filled with light, airy cream are almost as well known in Bordeaux as cannelés.

The recipe remains a secret, and to diversify tastes, Pascal Lucas sometimes offers ephemeral creations...

Pierre Mathieu worked at the Mandarin Oriental in Paris before returning to Bordeaux to open his own boutique. He shares his passion with his customers.

A true emblem of Bordeaux, the canelé is a delicacy that dates back to the ^16th century. It's a pastry made from flour, eggs, milk, vanilla and rum.
