When we discover the croissants of this artisan baker, we say that we had never seen anything so appetizing until now. The work of the lamination is amazing, crenellated up to these ends (ended in fan). And the tasting ends up convincing us. After a moderate crispness, we discover a crumb that lives in the mouth, without being out of breath after three jaw hits. Finally, a powerful taste, perfectly balanced, between bread flavors and buttered aromas.
Increasing to 1.15 euros.
