Le Fournil is a treasure chest of breads, savories, and pastries near the famous Marche de Capucins. The boulangerie had the best overall selection of baked goods and patisseries I could find during a month stay.Le Fournil is not a secret and there’s sometimes a queue outside, even though the shop has two cash register lines at peak times. Many customers come only for the bread, which includes baguettes of sunflower, flax, and pumpkin seeds. I came every day for something. Fougasse with Lardon, Coppa and Sun Dried Tomato sandwich, Chocolate Tart, Basque Cake with Cherries, Lemon Tart, Religieuse, Almond Crumble, Blueberry Mousse, Black Forest Cake… There are at least 25 different patisseries to try on any day. You don’t have to visit Le Fournil de Capucins every day, the way I did, but it is a must-taste sensation for people in Bordeaux. Bon appetit.
