What a neighborhood gem. Just stumbled upon it while walking down from the Notre-Dame de la…read moreGarde. I did quick search and finding out that this bakery has very rich history founded in 1781 and decided to walk back and take a closer look. There were several customers already inside grabbing what appears to be local favorite which is a bag of small bread sticks called shuttles. We ended up getting a croissant (how boring) which was bagged by a friendly gentleman, paid and devoured on the way down to the harbor. It was definitely one of the best we had and wanted to get some more but already far away and decided to do again on later times. Definitely a place to grab baked goods, gift items and sugary treats for your favorite ones! I did not know that this is one of the places to visit while in Marseille and turned out to be an excellent experience.

Listed as one of the "must see places" of Marseille...I would agree and disagree. It is a great…read moreexperience to see and taste the bakery that has been operating for over 200 years specializing in the traditional Christmas Navette.It is indeed an adorable little bakery that smells glorious. BUT as previous yelpers mentioned, the taste is reminiscent of kindergarten chalk with a hint of orange blossom. It is a shame the smallest amount you can buy is a dozen for 10€. I would have much rather just buy one to try then spend the rest on their assortment of other pastries. Side note, they taste weird with coffee. Orange + coffee does not pair. Maybe it would be better with an earl grey tea??

Somehow it ended up costing over 65 Euros! The sales associate said ours was by far the heaviest she had encountered! We have enough cookies to last us for quite a while! It's not cheap, but it's worth every bite!

Love La Cure Gourmande! The store is colorful, smells like sugary delights, and is filled with a…read morevariety of French cookies, chocolates, nougat, and other sweets. This is definitely a must stop when visiting Marseille. The SAs are very friendly and constantly offering whole samples of cookies, chocolates, and candies. Delicious! I think I gained a pound just trying everything! Prices are a bit high but not unreasonable. The packaging is equally colorful, whimsical, and oh so French. Plus if you prefer, they wrap each item as a gift. Score! I really enjoyed their variety of nougat, cookies, and marzipan candies. It was tough deciding which flavors to get since they were all so yummy! Apparently the store is doing well and is expanding in the U.S. They currently have a store in NYC, and have plans for SF.
