The best pastry shops Provence-Alpes-Côte D'Azur

After having started at Philippe Da Silva's in the Gorges de Pennafort, Clotilde Lebec opened her pastry shop in the heart of her village for the pleasure of gourmets. She creates with passion confectionery, delicacies, and cakes to measure for all occasions. Try her inimitable apple, hazelnut and raisin cake, her hazelnut and chocolate cookies, her mini fruit pavlova or rum baba to share. Clotilde has also taken over the village bakery with her partner. Delicious breads and tasty pastries.

Shanty cookies is a crazy and humorous idea that crossed the mind of an Aixoise of Indian origin: to decline small messages on pure butter cookies. Since the very beginning, first in her apartment and now in her manufacturing premises in Vitrolles, Shanty has been producing her pure butter cookies in an artisanal way, plain or with different flavors such as lemon, chocolate, hazelnut... From the dough to the parcel sent by her, she does it all! Give her your message to print, a logo, a drawing: our favorites: "mommy is busy, sweetheart", "looking for a rich brown guy" or "I declare you my laziness"... and now in mini format for a funny aperitif!

This is one of the city's oldest pastry shops, dating back to 1870. A tempting window display and generous pastries with just the right amount of sugar and butter. Whether you come here for melon confit, calissons, biscotins (hazelnuts surrounded by a butter cookie), olives de Provence (almonds surrounded by flaky chocolate) or a tarte au citron (exquisite), you won't be disappointed. The cannelés are extra special, as is the pompe à l'huile, one of the thirteen Christmas desserts. Special mention for the galette des rois. Béchard's frangipane has that little something extra... hazelnut cream, it seems. Too bad, kings only come once a year!

For fans of sweet treats, two stores are better than one! In these establishments, a profusion of sweets awaits you: mignardises, macaroons, cakes, pastries, chocolates... Each creation is a symphony of flavors, where simple ingredients blend harmoniously with shimmering colors. This family-run business relies on surprising textures, aromas and shapes to stand out from the crowd. Enjoy these creations on the terrace.

A true Carpentrassian institution, the Jouvaud house opened its doors in 1948! A longevity that is no stranger to this family passion - 3 generations in succession - for quality, inventiveness... and gourmet food! Over the years, the range has grown and diversified, from macaroons to rocailles (sublime meringues with roasted hazelnuts caramelized inside). The decorative objects selected by Nicole and her daughter Maïe find a nice resonance with the sweetness of father and son.

"Cakes, sweets, chocolates and gifts", four little words that take on their full value here. The reputation of Maison Jouvaud, also in Carpentras and Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, has not wavered for 3 generations! You can sit there at tea time after shopping. In addition to sweets, tarts, millefeuilles and their famous XXL meringues, there is a savory snack section with well-stocked sandwiches. In summer, salads are added. Dishes, tablecloths, cushions, lights are part of the decor and are for sale.

The 250 m² of bright, airy space features a pastry shop, a tea room, a juice and ice-cream bar and a snack bar. The counter where you sit opens onto the laboratory, where a young brigade in chef's hat and impeccable uniform is hard at work. The pastries, cakes, entremets and viennoiseries are very good, but more expensive than elsewhere. At lunchtime, a snack menu offers a few suggestions and daily specials for a break. When the weather's fine, there's a lovely terrace to sit out on.

A provence reference in the area of gourmet gastronomy, the family sign was founded in 1780.

Since 1988, this master pastry chef and disciple of Escoffier has been a favorite of Pernois food lovers and connoisseurs alike. People come from far and wide for his travel cake: Soleil Pernois, a delectable marriage of raspberry pulp and candied melon, which you can easily slip into your luggage because it's not afraid of heat or transport. The same goes for "La Perle de la Nesque", a meringue base with an orange praline center. This is not the case for "Esprit Blanchard", a chocolate bonbon with a cinnamon aroma created in honor of the Pernois music master, but never mind, we'll eat it right away! As for the rest, the shop windows are overflowing with pastries, ice creams, petits fours and other sweets that rival, among other temptations, the chocolates, made exclusively from selected beans.
