1. Original galettes and gâteaux des rois from Bricoleurs de douceurs
Another pastry shop that lives up to its name. The delights behind the windows of Bricoleurs de Douceurs are the result of an assembly of flavors, the fruit of the imagination of two enthusiasts: Clément Higgins and Aurélie Poletto. This patisserie, which has established a solid reputation in Marseille, surprises with the originality of its creations. From Christmas logs to galettes and gâteau des rois. For this Epiphany 2025, Les Bricoleurs is offering hazelnut or almond galettes and hazelnut or citrus brioches ! You’ll have to come back twice to taste them all!

2. Oh Faon: healthy, gourmet recipes
Oh Faon is good! This wonderful address is the tasty and ethical patisserie par excellence!
