In the old town of Annecy there is a quaint little "pâtisserie"/confectionery that we particularly cherish and always visit when we go there. It is called "Au Péché Mignon ("péché mignon" meaning literally "cute sin") and offers the most delicious cakes, chocolates, savory tarts (their Reblochon quiche is fantastic) and ice creams.
Their window is always contains beautiful pastries and cakes. All the goodies are so colorful, amazingly decorated and really tempting. It is impossible for foodies like us to walk by without stopping and buying something. At "Au Péché Mignon", our weakness for sweets isn't a sin anymore and it becomes an obligation for us to "misbehave"!
We cannot visit Annecy without making a trip to that lovely place and treat ourselves with a few cakes as well as as a quiche. Although, there are plenty other places there, we have to eat one of their yummy creations before we can move on to the next bakery!
If you are addicted to chocolate, nourish a passion for good quality French pastries, sweets as well as confectioneries, then "Au Péché Mignon" is for you. Just don't forget that on market days (Wednesday and Saturday mornings) the place is chock-a-block full, so you'd better choose another time to indulge yourself vice fully and be a bit of a glutton...

ReplyDeleteAnnency seems like such a pretty city. Sadly though I've never been there.
ReplyDeleteThe pâtisserie looks so lovely, they definitely have the best ones in France (which is a reason why I will never move there: All those treats are too hard to resist! ;))

ReplyDeleteOh yes, I definitely would misbehave as well. Your photos are always so gorgeous that it seems I could just walk right into your photo and be a part of it.
ReplyDeleteRosa, I can clearly see why you love this town and its amazing bakeries!
ReplyDeleteNow, if I could just save some money to make the trip myself, or maybe grow some wings, I'd be one happy girl.

ReplyDeleteI know an artist from lebanon who met and married a man from Annecy and moved there; I felt envious (a bit) not because of the meeting the man but because of moving to Annecy! It sounds like such a dream place!
ReplyDeleteI would definitely like to visit Annecy. Have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteWe love Annecy - haven't been there for a few years, but such a pretty city and gorgeous location.

Et oui, à Annecy il n'y a pas que le lac et les montagnes qui méritent le détour. Plusieurs artisans "meilleurs ouvriers de France" proposent leurs produits de grande qualité.
ReplyDeleteLooking for you photos-you are making me want to return to Annecy.
ReplyDeleteAnnécienne, pour moi Le Pêché Mignon est excellent, une bonne adresse, mais attention à la concurrence... Philippe Rigollot arrive en Septembre avec l'ouverture de sa boutique à Annecy!
ReplyDeleteJULIE: Oui, une très bonne adresse! Je me réjouis de goûter aux pâtisseries de Philippe Rigollot!!!!
