Where to buy bread cakes chocolates ice cream Le Mans

Mmm! As soon as you enter, your eye is inevitably drawn to the pastries on the right, the macaroons on the left and the cakes: entremets glacés, dome-shaped marbré blanc et rouge glacé, carré au chocolat with successive layers of sponge cake and nougatine, charlotte aux framboises... If only it stopped at pastries... Well, it doesn't. It also sells handmade chocolates and bulk chocolate (with hazelnuts too...). But it's also a bakery: we make the Gana baguette, with its soft crumb and crisp crust. Sandwiches are also prepared daily. Will you give in to temptation?

Before you go to work, during your lunch break or on your way home, stop! You will become a new fan of this bakery. Located on boulevard Desmorieux, the Boulangerie du Père Pain Pain Pain and its team welcome you warmly. Bakery side: the bread is available in all its forms: tradition with Guérande salt, Pain Pain Pain (brown bread/seed mixture), spelt baguette; all made with French wheat flour. On the pastry/viennoiserie side: a wide choice again! Bring one of the delicious fruit pies... for a special occasion, we will make you one of the personalized cakes: the classic "cabbage in a cake" or the famous wedding cake of Father Pain Pain Pain ! Finally, on the fast food side, you can choose between the salad menu (salad bar), the sandwich menu or the hot menu (pie, burger, bite). Enjoy the terrace on sunny days.

Best apple pie of the Sarthe (2015 and 2016), ^2nd best croissant of the Sarthe (2016), most original Prix Galette (2014 and 2016).

It's a long storefront with four arches, where customers come and go at all hours, either on the bakery side or the sandwich side. This Panetière is, in fact, divided into two parts: one for a quick stop-off to buy a baguette for lunch or a chocolate pastry for a snack, and the other for a quick sandwich and a lunch menu with a drink and dessert. An informal and practical address, a stone's throw from the tramway station and Les Cinéastes art cinema.

The clientele is and causes: the large bakery all decorated with a strategic place in the middle of the breweries, and especially right in front of Gare Nord. But especially bread, crispy, is made and cooked on-site; The pastries are divine and the little sweets and creams to bite on the thumb between noon and two are worth the detour. And if you're thirsty, you're also selling fresh drinks. A very good address.

The history of L'Atelier du Chocolat goes back to 1951 with Joseph and Madeleine Andrieu. Their son, Serge, took over the store in 1982, and in 1995 created the atelier-boutiques and bouquets de chocolats (assortments of chocolate leaves) that make the brand so original. One of the flagship products? Feuillants d'or. These are broken crêpes dentelles mixed with an almond and hazelnut praline. Hmm... you could eat a whole box of them! You should also try chocolate with chilli in bars or bite-size pieces, or with caramelized hazelnuts. You can also be tempted by a box of assortments or a magnificent gift box. L'Atelier du Chocolat also offers rochers, shortbread, medals and chocolate plaques. A formidable address for gourmands!

A jewel box for jewels! This new patisserie is the epitome of refinement. You'll fall head over heels in love with the beautiful little cakes! It has to be said that Julien Herman is an artist pastry chef who worked in the kitchens of great chefs before opening this house in Le Mans, which is a real treat for the taste buds. From breakfast to tearoom to lunch in jars, it's a no-brainer. On the shelves: finger caramel peanut, strawberry vanilla cabbage and many others, including our two favorites, one with black sesame, the other with yuzu.
