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...

A LOVELY BAKERY - ANNECY

I've been meaning to finish blogging about my Fall 2009 Annecy trip (Part I & Part II) since a very long time, but I somehow never got to do it before today. Now that I have more time for myself, I thought that I'd ought to continue writing about my wonderful day in that magnificent and quaint town in Haute Savoie, France...

Today I want to talk to you about a bakery situated in the historic center of Annecy and which I fell in love with immediately after having discovered it for the very first time. When walking by "Marmillon", it is impossible not to get your attention drawn to that window chock-a-block full of mouthwatering regional delicacies (just click on the pictures to make them bigger and see the names of each bread, bun, cookie, tart, etc...). That vision will lure you in and the taste as well as the smell of those yummy treats will addict you instantly. It is like a trap for fans of baked goodies!

As we were planning on testing quite a few different foods around Annecy, we decided to take one immense raisin roll and share it between the both of us. It was divinely smooth and tasted heavenly!
