The best pastry shops Bourgogne

Created in 2012 in Joux-la-Ville, the Biscuiterie de Bourgogne (which also has a store in Vézelay, and since a few months in Avallon) has just set up store in the heart of Auxerre, opposite the statue of Cadet-Roussel. Discover the famous home-made financiers, but also meringues, macaroons and other sweets from the Chopard chocolate factory and the Tour des Terroirs brand which offers local products.

Jérémy Maigret opened Pâtisserie Polisson in the heart of Cluny in 2021. Here, he shares his vision of gourmet delights, marrying flavors to perfection in both traditional and more creative recipes. In the bread department, there's something for everyone: cereal bread, sourdough bread or simply traditional baguette. When it comes to pastries, we're particularly fond of our seasonal creations. As for viennoiserie, in 2023 the brand won second prize in the departmental competition for the best croissants and pains au chocolat.

At the end of 2022, Karine and Gilles Hauth opened La Pateasserie in place of Pâtisserie Bertrand, which had stood here, a stone's throw from the Horloge tower, for 33 years. No spelling mistake, just a play on words to point out the existence - on the second floor - of a cosy little tearoom where you can take a break from your city tour. Just long enough to savour one of the excellent home-made pastries, macaroons or chocolates on offer in this delightful establishment. Or even treat yourself to a Sunday morning brunch.

At the end of 2022, Nicolas Brelaud, owner and chef of the hotel-restaurant Le Mitigana, opened this pastry shop located just next door.

In addition to the excellent pastries, you will find here the great pastry classics, and some original offers like the Paris-Migennes (a revisit of the famous Paris-Brest) or the Simmern which reinvents the Black Forest. But we also love the coffee tart and the Kir tart (with blackcurrant and white wine).

L'Ambroisie, created by Alain Le Bourdoulou in 1997, is a true Chalonnaise institution. Renovated in 2021, the boutique, its façade and the tea room make the moment even more precious. While the macaroons and pastries are exceptional, each season has its own not-to-be-missed rendezvous. The galettes are one of them, so unique are the frangipane and the recipe. Another of L'Ambroisie's talents is its chocolates. An address that sublimates the classics of our gourmet subconscious.
