Les Commères Boulangerie

Les Commères' approach to baking balances respect for French tradition with a spirit of innovation and collaboration. The foundation is uncompromising: AOP butter for rich, complex flavor in every viennoiserie; natural levain for breads with depth and character; and carefully selected quality flours that provide the structure and taste that distinguish artisan baking from industrial production.

The viennoiserie selection showcases classic French technique—croissants with their characteristic honeycomb interior and shattering crust, pain au chocolat with perfectly distributed chocolate, and chaussons aux pommes with tender, flaky pastry. These aren't revolutionary reinterpretations; they're excellent executions of the classics that have defined French baking for generations. At €1.45 for a croissant, the pricing reflects a commitment to making quality accessible for daily enjoyment.

Where Les Commères adds its distinctive voice is through collaboration and seasonal creativity. Monthly partnerships with various artisans bring new perspectives and techniques to the bakery's offerings, resulting in unique products you won't find elsewhere. The chocolate pecan flan, developed with Julien Chamalo, exemplifies this collaborative approach—taking a traditional French dessert and elevating it with unexpected flavors and refined execution.

Every weekend introduces a special limited-edition viennoiserie, giving regulars a reason to explore beyond their usual favorites. This rotating selection keeps the offerings dynamic while maintaining the quality standards that define everything Les Commères produces. The praline chou represents another signature item, combining classic French pastry technique with the beloved flavor of praline.

Beyond viennoiseries, the bakery offers a range of pâtisseries priced from €3 to €6.50, gâteaux de voyage perfect for gifts or afternoon tea, and homemade jams that capture seasonal flavors. The bread selection, all made with natural levain, provides the foundation for daily meals—crusty baguettes, hearty country loaves, and specialty breads that showcase the depth of flavor that natural fermentation provides.

The overall food philosophy at Les Commères emphasizes quality ingredients, traditional techniques, and just enough creativity to keep things interesting. You'll find the classics executed beautifully alongside innovative collaborations, all produced with the same attention to detail and commitment to craft. Whether you're seeking a perfect croissant for your morning coffee or an adventurous new pastry to try, Les Commères delivers both tradition and discovery.
