MAISON LACORNE
Read moreAs we love our craftsmen who perpetuate the tradition of a good bread, the one one would like to have every day on our table, crispy, golden, to the air mie and fragrant. The Lacorne House has not everything on the decoration, but the simplicity of the bakery puts more value in the essence of the shop, the breads. Traditional or special, they are divine and it was particularly appreciated to find at this address a black bread "German" or breads that reminded us of those of Austria. But once you've chosen your bread, it's impossible not to crack for a meringue or a slice of the day's cake. An entrance noticed in our guide.
