In your inevitable search for traditional lyonnais sweets, biscuits or dry sausage (saucisson) to bring back home from the Vieux Lyon district (Saint Jean), don't walk by this gem! The shop is small but all products are in fact made on home-made (really!) recipes by specialists in workshops across Lyon and sold here. The place seems even more packed because it often is full of visitors who take their time to taste the popular (and truly good in this shop) pralines, the really unique sweets constantly invented by the shop-owner (the crazy-good nougat with pralines is my favorite).

Read moreI loved the place, it is my dream to have a place similar to this.

And the original ones: almond with the red chocolate…..uuffff delicious 😋
I would love to come back here. ❤️
The service all of them...
