I wish we had known about the macarons here. My husband and I had their caneles and boy were they…read moredelicious. These caneles were delicate, fresh, moist and gooey. There are no two caneles that are the same, each bakery has their own style and texture. This is located near the tourist bus area or the Cardinal hotel. Very easy to find. Friendly staff that only speaks French. They have a calculator to show you the amount you owe. They accept credit cards for purchases over €10.

There were at least two satellite stores that sell the famous cookies but this is supposedly the…read moreflagship where they are made. We stopped in after lunch and they were in the back, making treats. The shop has all kinds of things. It's small but packed. The flagship macarons are sold in multiples- baked right onto the paper square so you can divide the sheet easily for sharing. They also have large size ones. The cookies are tasty. Service was prompt. It's a tourist thing to do, so I'm glad we did it.

This review is just for the canele. There are a couple of local chains that focus on caneles , but…read moreI had read hat David Capy had one with a nicer outer shell. At €1.90 each, they're not cheap, but this was the best one I've had in Bordeaux. The outside has a nice caramelized crust, the inside is still moist by not too dense, and it's not overly sweet. They have other things in the shop like nice chocolates, chocolate bars, desserts, madelines, sables, etc. I would definitely recommend this place for a canele in Bordeaux.

I was initially skeptical since they're a chain, and I had a bad experience with Baillardran, but a…read morelocal friend taught me to ask for a more toasted canele since I like the ones with more of a crust, and it was a brilliant idea. Their caneles are actually the cheapest, at only 70 cents for the regular size. It had good rum flavor and wasn't too sweet. It was a bit dense inside but had a great crust outside. They take credit cards for bigger orders, but I think they prefer cash. Tip: definitely ask for the more toasted ones for better texture.

Excellent chocolate shop. It is one of the top three chocolate shops in Bordeaux in my opinion…read more This brand has a lot of history; it is a very elegant shop. I purchased a 250 g box for around 24 euros. You can fit a lot of chocolates into that box.

This place is an institution, and they know it. Definitely the belle of the ball among Bordeaux…read morechocolatiers, they offer an impressive selection of the finest chocolates. One of the most creative items is a chocolate slipper, which to the best of my recollection is 19€. If you want to snag a high priced gift for someone special (especially someone who might recognize the value), this would be a good one. The chocolate is as good as any you will find and probably more expensive.
