No, "as good as it gets" works just fine for Pain et Passion, a lovely little bread shop serving pastries, coffees and other treats along the water to locals and travelers alike. Pull up a chair on the back patio and enjoy the view, the sweets and the coffee. Life is good. *Their selection of breads is quite exemplary, pick up a few loaves for home!

Cakes, pastries, sweet and savoury products. All looked great, made by hand with love. Bough a little fruit cake, a small meringue dessert, a chocolate cake and something with nuts and caramel. Everything tasted divine. Perfectly baked desserts and cakes. Rich in flavours, great quality ingredients. This is not factory made, this is fresh and handmade. This is truly one of the best bakeries we've ever shopped at. Not just in France...one of the very best we've been anywhere in the world. It was so good that we ate everything right away and went back after visiting the castle to shop some more to bring with. Great prices as well. A bakery that you should not miss. An amazing bakery. Highly recommended.
