Watterlot Pâtisserie Boulangerie — Restaurant in Abbeville

A wonderful display of small cakes, patisserie, tartes, sandwiches, bread and more.

This is similar to the Italian Pandoro but lighter, crumblier, and less sweet. A dream with lashings of soft French butter and jam, or just on its own with a coffee. The bread is also to die for: fresh, crusty and tasty even on its own. 5 stars all...
