A true emblem of Bordeaux, the canelé, a delicacy dating back to the 16th century, is a pastry made from flour, eggs, milk, vanilla and rum... It's a real challenge to make them yourself, to obtain a canelé that's soft on the inside and crisp on the outside. Visit one of the 26 boutiques where you'll be able to choose between three sizes of canelés, or indulge in other specialities: tourtières with prunes, Bordelais with almonds or chocolate...

Un petit, un moyen ou un grand cannelé pas d'importance, ils sont très bons, c'est très proche des gâteaux style pudding sans les raisins.

As I walk into this quaint little pastry shop, the sweet aroma of fresh-baked goods greets me like an old friend. My eyes dart around, taking in the cozy atmosphere and the colorful array of the wonder that awaits me. But it's the French canales that I'm here for - I've heard they're the best in town, and I'm excited to see if they live up to the hype.
First off, I have to give a shout-out to the staff. They're polite, accommodating, and seem genuinely excited about their pastries. They're happy to answer any questions I have and offer suggestions based on my preferences. Their passion for their craft is infectious, and it only adds to the already pleasant experience.
Now, on to the main attraction - the French canales. And let me tell you, these little beauties are something special. The first thing that strikes me is the texture - they're perfectly caramelized on the outside, with a tender, custardy interior that melts in your mouth. The subtle hint of rum and vanilla adds a warm, comforting flavor that's not too overpowering. And the size is just right - not too big or too small, so you can enjoy one (or two, or three) without feeling like you've overindulged.
What I appreciate most about this pastry shop's French canales is the balance of flavors. They're not too sweet, not too eggy, and not too heavy. They're just right, and they're the kind of pastry that you can eat any time of day - with a cup of coffee in the morning, as an afternoon snack, or even as a dessert after dinner.
One thing that really stands out to me is the price. In a city where some pastry shops charge an arm and a leg for their French canales, this shop's prices are refreshingly reasonable. And honestly, I think they're even better than their overpriced competition. The quality of the ingredients and the attention to detail in the preparation make all the difference, and it's clear that this pastry shop takes pride in what they do.
Overall, I would highly recommend this pastry shop to anyone looking for a delicious, authentic French canale experience. The staff is lovely, the atmosphere is cozy, and the pastries are truly exceptional. Don't miss out on this gem of a shop - your taste buds will thank you!

On ne se lasse pas de ces Cannelés croquants à l'extérieur et fondant à l'intérieur ! A un prix très raisonnable.
J'y reviens régulièrement ! ;)
