Description

Opening a tiny French bakery within easy biking distance of Cafe Besalu seems like sheer madness, but Franz Gilbertson has made a success of it. His croissants may not top the competitor's, but his eggy, caramelized canalés are unrivaled in this town, as are his airy French macarons-particularly the coffee, pistachio, and coconut-caramel. The kouign (pronounced queen) amman, a buttery pastry with a salty caramel top, is one of the city's great indulgences.
