The Cathédrale bakery offers a wide range of delicacies, and has often been singled out for its specialties: crackers, Saint-Malo potatoes, Petit Nicolas or even pavé malouin. A detour is therefore a must if you're looking for a few unique and distinctive treats.

Pascal Pochon, master chocolatier of the Thermes de Saint-Malo, makes us travel with his creations. They remind us of the voyages of the inhabitants of Saint-Malo to the Indies and the holds of their ships full of spices. The specialties have a beautiful Malouin identity with pearls or cobblestones of Saint-Malo or even the crunchy and melting truffles with acid, fruity or spicy flavors. To you, the chocolates, the nibbles, the bars, the boxes or the confectionery: simply delicious.
