This beautiful bakery is located right in the centre of Vincennes, at the corner of rue du Midi and rue Raymond du Temple. It is a bakery that stands out a bit of all that you can find in Vincennes because the offer is more bakery than actually pastry. A wide choice of breads including a very small offer of organic breads. The cakes are typically bakers, i.e. simple, without cracks and without too much cream. Small fruit tarts for example are to be recommended because there is just a fine dough with the fruit on it. The other feature: customers and passers-by see the baker working through a window directly from the street. A few years ago, this new way of exposing his trade was very innovative except for some very specialized shops such as candy. Today, it tends to spread more and more. See for example the chain Aux Merveilleux . What is also pleasant in this bakery is that it is not necessary to fall down to see the pastry close. The counter is made so you have a whole row at a glance. It's more convenient for customers to help them make their choices easier and faster. When you go back to the bakery, I like this pleasant smell of bread that gets out of hand and wraps the whole shop. It doesn't look like anything, but you don't have to underestimate the power of a good smell in a customer! It can make a big desire. There is also a good organization in this bakery with a cashier that only makes cash and people who serve (the bosses I believe). This allows greater fluidity and better respect for hygiene rules. Respect for hygiene in a trade is very important especially for perishable and fragile products. In France, unfortunately, there are too many twists to this principle in trades, many of which are not always aware. They become aware of this when they have a gastric problem! Beyond its traditional image that rehabilitates the craftsmanship of a trade, a know-how, this bakery makes us realize the importance of small business in the city centers. These local shops have an economic value for the vitality and attractiveness of the city centers but also a social utility, for example, for older people who are shopping on foot near their home. I will not go so far as to say that these shops, especially in large cities, are a vector of social bond but they must guide our conception of well-being and the best-life together. Because by accepting the massive installation of mass trade, we have not only led to the desertification of urban centres, but we have dehumanized society by breaking this social bond and this relationship of proximity. So don't hesitate to visit this pretty traditional bakery.
