La Troprovençale
Saint-Rémy-de-Provence
For thirty years the Gaillardet family has made one thing, and made it well: an orange-blossom brioche split in two and filled with vanilla mousseline cream. It is the tarte tropézienne turned Provençal, and it comes in twelve flavours — pistachio, praline, lemon, lavender, chestnut. Everything is made on site, with seasonal fruit. Buy a whole one: it never survives the drive home.
A place we love to recommend to our guests during their stay at Mas de l'Herne, in Eygalières.
