Espi has been a real institution for more than 40 years. In the showcases, pastries always line up very chocolate creations, fruit mousses, pies, saint-honoré, colourful palette of macaroons... it is hard to choose where to start, everything is beautiful and tempting. However, it is a pity that the portions somewhat has decreased (but not the prices) since the venerable house has made by the excellent Confiserie du Tech. Chocolate and tourons displays, which are also "homemade", excite our greed. From 8:00 am, still warm pastries and bread freshly baked fill the shop. For those who have time, it is best to enjoy on the spot; the cosy and refined tea room or the terrace on the quai Vauban are perfectly suitable.

The house has confidence, it has existed since 1975.
