Where to buy bread cakes chocolates ice cream Mende

Made in Lozère since the early 1900s, croquant - a vanilla cookie sprinkled with almonds and hazelnuts - is the star of the Maison Majorel. As old and notorious as its famous recipe, this Mendois institution is now run four-handed by Bruno, great-grandson of the croquant's inventor, and his wife Sylvie, who greedily runs the store. Together, they nurture a centuries-old family know-how and distribute happiness in small bites with their homemade chocolates, cookies and ice creams.

This bakery, ideally placed on the Notre Dame traffic circle, sells gourmet homemade chocolates, with salted butter caramel, chestnuts and... in the shape of the Gévaudan beast. The store is always busy, as is the convenient parking lot. And there's plenty of variety to choose from: in addition to a fine range of breads, you'll find all kinds of viennoiseries, tasty and delicate pastries, a wide variety of savoury preparations, quiches and focaccias, as well as salads, sandwiches and takeaway wraps... Simple and good!

This bakery-pastry shop is a real institution in Mende, especially thanks to its stone bread with cranberries and hazelnuts. Alex makes everything in his own laboratory, 10 km from Mende. The best-sellers of the place, made from traditional flour. Local raw materials that give a taste of the land and authenticity. Also on sale are the crunchy almond and hazelnut biscuits from Kermes, which are terribly addictive, as well as the shortbread, which follows the same quality and short circuit requirements by integrating honey and nuts.

Originally from the Paris region, Delphine has made a real change in her life by opening this pastry shop and tearoom. A former executive assistant and childminder, she now spreads smiles with her little cakes. With a CAP in pastry-making, she specializes in the preparation of sweet and savoury macaroons, as well as choux, and also offers desserts and cakes to order in her store in downtown Mende. Taste and pleasure in every bite!
