Where to buy bread cakes chocolates ice cream Villeneuve-Lès-Avignon

Breads of all kinds! Soft breads, rustic breads, holiday breads, savoury and sweet tarts and puff pastries, sandwiches, evening cakes, desserts, iced vacherins, macaroons, pastries (including a praline brioche so tasty that you'll have to make a detour). Didier Marcellin is an artisan baker, chocolatier, ice-cream maker and confectioner like his father, from whom he took over the family pastry shop in Saint-Symphorien-de-Lay, near Roanne. He chose to settle down in the south. And that's good for us.

His name is Richard Ferrari and his ice creams and sorbets are absolutely gourmet. Whatever the flavor - 32 à la carte depending on the season - whether in a cup, coupette, cornet or by the liter to take away, the flavors are all there. At the height of summer, when the cicadas are singing and the mercury is reaching 30°C, the lemon basil yoghurt sorbet is a welcome treat, not very sweet and almost as thirst-quenching as a cocktail. At Christmas, we stock up on ice cream to garnish our homemade logs. The setting is simple, but the ice cream here rises to artistic heights.
