After buying cheeses, escargot, charcuterie and baguettes at Eauze's Thursday Farmers Market, we had to buy some sweets for dessert to complete our picnic. We went into this patisserie and bought some bottled waters and some pastries.
We bought eclairs, a braided bread with chocolate, cakes, tarts and a Baba au Rhum. The lady placed everything in a large cake box. My favorites were the chocolate cake and the eclair. We all had a bite of the Baba au rhum, and oh my gosh, that thing was drenched in rum! I felt drunk just having a bite of it. The bakers used little restraint with the rum. Good thing there were 10 adults in our group. That one baba au rhum was enough for all of us!
The shop also has a large selection of house made chocolates. Do go into this store if you're in the area and buy a baba au rhum if you've never had it. It is a taste to remember! read more
