And for the past few years, Auzou has gained in popularity thanks to its macarons with varied and original tastes!

Considered by many as one of the best bakeries in Rouen, Christophe Cressent's establishment has been a hit since it opened in 2010.

On its shelves, a wide variety of special breads, but also and above all pastries, the gourmet sin of the house, including the unavoidable éclairs in various flavours. An essential stop for a gourmet break!
