Where to buy bread cakes chocolates ice cream Bayeux

The Bayeusains, as well as the tourists, are delighted with this pastry and confectionery shop (and tea room) founded in 1898. An institution! Run for the last twenty years by Isabelle and Pascal Doublet, Reine Mathilde has a unique cachet: high ceilings, mouldings, gilding, chandeliers and old-fashioned frescoes all combine here for the pleasure of the eyes. But the taste buds are not left out, because this Mathilde is also a cordon bleu! Macaroons, nougats, pastries and specialities. To take away or on the spot, a paradise where one succumbs to temptation.

The address moves the gourmets. David, a specialist in "chocolate-pastry-macaroons", makes us melt with pleasure. "Here it's for the chocolate freaks! And here, everything, but absolutely everything, is homemade, with specialties such as apple with calvados coated with candy sugar, chocolate from the Pays d'Auge (Tatin-style apple ganache), ice creams, verrines, fruit jellies (wrongly left out, our grandmothers' sweets come back with reassuring naturalness), spreads... We can't resist. So to your tablets! Chocolate bars, of course.

Awarded the Boulanger de France label for its artisanal work, the Capucine bakery defends 100% local food. Christophe Lepetit used to work in industrial transport, then he wanted to change his life. A successful bet! His vision of work, homemade of course, and his taste for social ties have enabled him to climb the ladder, even taking part in the show The Best Bakery on M6. And at a time when hotels are increasing the price of their breakfast, we also noticed this bakery for its complete breakfast at a reasonable price.
