The best pastry shops L'Ile-D'Yeu

Don't leave the island without tasting its flagship specialty: the delicious prune tart from the Mousnier patisserie, also present at the market. Alain Mousnier's home-made cakes, jams and salted butter caramel are part of the island's culinary tradition. Other specialties include betchets (which means "cookie" in local dialect, i.e. twice-baked), also known as sailor's cookies because they keep for several days at sea. For mardi gras, there's also foutimasson, a doughnut also known as bottereau or tourtisseau.
