A true moment of happiness!

Beyer House was founded nearly 60 years ago. After the departure of Philippe Beyer, it was a talented young chocolate maker, Maxime, who took up the torch.

Other Norman specialties on sale here: apples with calvados and salted butter caramels. 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 eclairs in various flavors. An essential stop for a gourmet break!

After long months of work, the Coudray Époux completely transformed the legendary address - very well known to all the Rouennais and all the passengers from the station - to make it a popular and popular address, but of another kind. For proof, this lovely tea lounge/space salad of midday, which benefits from a resolutely contemporary garden.

A few metres from the train station, a beautiful wine shop to discover and rediscover. And soon, an online ordering shop.
