There are a couple other nice looking bakeries in Mouriès but this one caught my eye. It's larger than many French bakeries, and there are lots of things that attracted me...I ended up with a coffee eclair and some almond cookies that were both excellent. This was a post-lunch stop so I did not sample the savory items, but I have to mention that the pizza squares that were waiting behind the counter truly called to me. They looked like the perfect fuel for a stop on a day-long Alpilles cycle tour; the pizza looked so good, I would come back just to try an order, I think.
The sign out front said they just added an espresso machine--a rarity for an Alpilles bakery, the chance to get a café with your pastry! read more
