AU PÉCHÉ MIGNON - ANNECY

I am still going through my leftover pictures of Annecy which I took during our last holidays in October. There are still many shots that I want to share with you, so I hope you'll not get annoyed by the fact that they are not very recent...

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...

  5. Annency seems like such a pretty city. Sadly though I've never been there.
    The 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! ;))

    Now, if I could just save some money to make the trip myself, or maybe grow some wings, I'd be one happy girl.

  31. I think that you could photograph the scrubbiest saddest place and make it gorgeous. Because of that, it is no surprise that you would do a lovely job of capturing a picturesque winding street. :) You are just so talented!!!!

  38. I 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!

  46. 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.

  47. Looking for you photos-you are making me want to return to Annecy.

  48. Annécienne, 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!

    ReplyDelete
  49. JULIE: Oui, une très bonne adresse! Je me réjouis de goûter aux pâtisseries de Philippe Rigollot!!!!
