Everything you dream of when roaming the French countryside and wanting a cute little boulangerie…read moreto grab a baguette for your lunch! Wicker baskets, chalkboards, baguettes and batards piled hither and thither, and super friendly French girls twisting your purchase expertly into paper! Dreamy! Quite a few of the locals love their baguettes and macarons; so if you're roaming in nearby St. Emilion, it's worth making a ten minute detour out to Libourne and grabbing some goodness right here. Park right by the train station and it's a three to five minute walk.

I wish we had known about the macarons here. My husband and I had their caneles and boy were they…read moredelicious. These caneles were delicate, fresh, moist and gooey. There are no two caneles that are the same, each bakery has their own style and texture. This is located near the tourist bus area or the Cardinal hotel. Very easy to find. Friendly staff that only speaks French. They have a calculator to show you the amount you owe. They accept credit cards for purchases over €10.

I hate giving out reviews with less than 3 stars, especially to bakeries here in France. However,…read moremy husband and I were disappointed with the macarons we bought here. Although most people associate the macaron with Paris, it was originally made in Saint-Emilion. According to local legend, the macaron was created by Carmelite nuns who wanted to use almond flour as the base because it was filling. Macarons here are slightly different because the recipe uses freshly ground almonds instead of the drier almond flour used in most macaron recipes. This recipe results in a denser macaron. The macarons we bought here were very expensive and quite stale. I understand that we arrived during the off-season and during a time when the country was still under a form of lockdown (people from outside of France could not travel here), so they may not have been as fresh. However, the price should have been accordingly adjusted for an item that was less than fresh, which is customarily done here.
