Divines Farines - Beaulieu-sur-Mer

After the recommendation from a British issue of conde nast the traveller (I remember) I tried to go to this bakery, although I other boulangers closer to our resort. big mistake. brot was common to put it polite. very. I dreamed of wonderful pain of the campagne and instead got a piece of rubber. a sin!

So a nice place to enjoy morning coffee or lunch with the locals. excellent coffee and croissants but don't leave them without one of the sandwiches. beautiful day sitting outside on the way to enjoy people watching

Cela fait un peu vieux radoteur. Mais honnêtement: avant le pain était vraiment très sympa et sans pareil sur Beaulieu. Maintenant: rien d'intéressant, voir du pain pas très bon.

On a recent two week stay at Beaulieu-sur-Mer, I undertook an independent, informal, survey of the town's Croissant offerings. In doing so, over that period of time, I bought a couple from every shop, irrespective of classification, which sold them. The undisputed champion? Divines Farines.Their croissants are perfect from every angle: the look - incl. shape & size, gloss, texture, taste and price. I really couldn't wait for breakfast-time to come around again.Divines Farines positions itself as a "Boulangerie-Epicerie" . Boulangerie certainly (a truly great variety of breads). But to me, the "Epicerie" tag is something of a misnomer - at least if I've got the back-translation right ("groceries"): I didn't see any.But I DID see their alluring variety of sweet & savoury pastries as exampled by their tranches of marvellous "pissaladiere" a creation so typical of the Region.Square metre wise, Divines Farines is relatively small ... its length makes-up for its narrowness where a serving counter runs along the r.h. side. There is a cold bottled, self-serve drinks unit towards the end of the shop. Positively no space for tables inside but there is a handful of them out front on the recently upgraded (incl. rows of palm tree plantings) Blvd. Marechal ... now given over to one-way for motorised traffic. There you can enjoy a coffee, breakfast or light lunch and enjoy it you will. Delightful service is an added attraction, as is the fun of using their automatic pay machine. Into this you insert your Euro note of any denomination and out pops your change. Alternatively, you insert a handful of coins which the machine sorts and then delivers change if any is due. The concept is quick and simple. One of its benefits to the retailer is that servers do not have to handle money.

Tout est très bon mais tout est beaucoup trop cher.. Jambon fromage à 7 euros..Dommage car les sandwichs sont bons et les desserts également.
