MAİSON ARLOT CHENG

Organic store

There were few bakeries in this part of the island of Nantes. In the summer of 2019, thanks to the generosity of Internet users and to the delight of lovers of good bread, La Maison Boulangerie was born. It is in this luminous and rough waxed concrete setting that Pierre-Antoine Arlot, Chin-Jy Cheng and their team of passionate baristas, bakers and pastry cooks are busy. Graduated as an organic artisan baker at the International School of Baking, Pierre-Antoine has worked in beautiful houses throughout Europe. At La Maison, the bread is artisanal, organic, leavened and made on slow fermenting millstone flour. As for the coffees, they are roasted by Allpress, percolator and gentle extraction. The teas are selected by Patchouli & Co., a Nantes-based tea-springer. In the shop window, the breads are beautiful and the crumbs delicate. On the premises, the coffees are tasted and processed according to the rules of the art. In the heart of the creative district, delicacies inspired by international traditions will give you inspiration!

4 reviews
Closed - Open to 10h00

Not far from the remains of the ramparts and Anne de Bretagne's castle, just opposite the cathedral, is the red front of La Trinitaine in Nantes. In this store, where the wood of the beams rubs shoulders with the stone of the granite pillars, it's a veritable paradise for gourmets and lovers of the Breton terroir. You'll find a wide variety of both savory and sweet Breton specialties, from the Pointe du Raz to the Pays nantais. You'll find, for example, those beautiful colored or painted boxes that some of us's grandmothers used to grab from the buffet at coffee time, and which contain the tasty, and famous, Breton butter galettes. But galettes aren't the only thing on La Trinitaine's shelves: kouign-amann, sablés, madeleines... try dark or milk chocolate buckwheat cookies. But also confectionery: berlingots nantais, salted butter caramels, Salidou cream, Coucougnettes (roasted almonds) or Niniches (Quiberon lollipops). On the savoury side, it's all about gourmet ideas, with a wide choice of preserves and other preparations (tuna, sardines) as well as fish soups, products from Belle Iloise or Guérande salt, buckwheat potato chips, Crousti Breizh, or buckwheat caramel.... A corner is devoted to speciality drinks: nantillais, cider, chouchen, pommeau, liqueurs, beers... Beautiful jams are among the many delicacies on offer, including the Bois Jumel brand and its delicious flavours. And don't forget to check out the new boxes designed by B. Morinay. Last but not least, admire the earthenware tableware and textiles featuring the famous Bécassine. This is the ideal corner for gift ideas all year round! And don't forget the chocolate, vanilla or raspberry Trinibeurre.

BOULANGERIE LA FOURMI

Bakery

In the early 20th century, the café La Fourmi was born on Chaussée de la Madeleine in Nantes, next to the Belle Croix bridge and Quai de la Maison Rouge. In 2023, La Fourmi was reborn as a bakery with sourdough breads made from ancient wheat flours: Datell, Rouge du Roc and Carré de Crête. Pascal and Olivier, partners and lovers of Nantes history, met in a flour mill (Bourseau in Nozay) before embarking on the adventure of this traditional bakery. Today, using ancient wheat and millstone flours, they keep the Minoterie de Nozay working. Postcards, now photos, of the former café have been reinstalled to show the authenticity of the premises, as Café La Fourmi was one of the oldest cafés in Nantes. Now a bakery, it offers delicious burger buns, curried ciabatta, fruit breads and excellent sandwiches. The emphasis is on seasonal produce. Special breads are organic. A place dedicated to bread tasting, committed and artisanal.

LE BOULANGER DE SAINT JO

Bread cakes chocolates ice cream

It is first of all for his baguette, the famous "Bagatelle" Label rouge, that we push the door of the baker of St JO. Sylvain Pasquier, for more than 11 years, has been our very own Marcel Pagnol in this renovated village of St JO. The bakery (ex-Fournil de St Jo) has moved 20 meters away in bright and brand new spaces on rue Barbara. 150 bakers in France offer this Bagatelle recipe and Sylvain is one of them! Natural leaven, slow kneading, traceability... all the ingredients are gathered to make an exceptional traditional baguette. It is in the same spirit that Sylvain elaborates his other breads. His 2 kilo wheel cake made in the old fashioned way is a great success. Wrapped in a cloth, it keeps for a week. His buckwheat bread and his bread with olive oil are also very popular. New: organic breads have made their appearance for our happiness with the big spelt or the organic wholemeal bread. As for the pastries and cakes, they are still 100% homemade with delicious croissants to start the day. The beautiful creations vary according to the season and are tempting. The Saint-Jo (cake with three chocolates), the kouign-amann, the small soft pastries, and many other sweets to enjoy. At lunchtime, a wide choice of classic or more original sandwiches made with chicken or beef marinades will delight people passing through or from the neighborhood. Let's go for gourmet snacks in the Roseraie and Beaujoire parks, before or after a nice stroll along the banks of the Erdre river, so close. Note the warm welcome and the free parking right next to the church whose bells ring out the hour of the snack!
