Three kinds of fruit on a flaky pastry crust.
As with many small French bakeries, the business is a family affair. The baker makes the bread and pastries in the back of the shop while his wife/partner works out front, selling the products. In this bakery the couple is pretty young, probably in their late thirties. They make beautiful breads, quiches, pizzas, and pastries and pies. Below is the top of the box in which Madame packed the two tartelettes that I bought.
Lucy in the sky with pastries.
And speaking of pastries, I went to the supermarket on Thursday. They were giving away a galette des rois (king cake) to customers who spent at least 45 euros. I'm sure they were trying to get rid of their unsold surplus since the time for galettes is passed, but that's a nice way to do it. And it wasn't stale or old-tasting at all.
That is some classy box! And oh those pastries! Your fruit course.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting post! And, as you say, the supermarket did a nice thing. Glad you enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteAround here, I'm enjoying the various weird (and non-edible) mushrooms that pop up after the rain.
I love Lucy ;-)
