Marzipan Gateau Aux Amandes Specialite De Saint Leonard De Noblat C Ot Noblat1. Boulangerie - Pâtisserie Martin
Do your shopping in a medieval shopIn the protective shadow of one of the best-preserved medieval buildings in the medieval heart of Saint-Léonard de Noblat, the Martin patisserie shapes its traditional marzipan like a treasure from the past. ⚜️
Here, time seems to stand still: the Spanish almonds are slowly crushed on granite rollers, before being mixed with egg white and sugar to bake this little Limousin cake with its inimitable flavour. Saint Léonard marzipan “takes a long time to make, but it can be eaten very quickly”, says the pastry chef with a smile, evoking this traditional biscuit that has stood the test of time. 😊
The recipe? No secret ingredients, but proportions kept confidential, the fruit of in-house expertise. 🤫
Note that you can also find this local Haute-Vienne product in their outlets in Eymoutiers, Bujaleuf and Châteauneuf-la-Forêt. 🧺
2. La Maison du Massepain
The authentic, in the footsteps of Camille PetitjeanIt was around 1900 that pastry chef Camille Petitjean brought back to life Saint-Léonard’s marzipan, a traditional biscuit rooted in the town’s medieval history. Today, Steven, a passionate pastry chef since the age of 16 who trained with the famous chocolatier Bellanger, carries on the tradition at La Maison du Massepain. 🍫
Heir to the famous Petitjean recipe, which he adapts with subtlety to today’s products, he offers a generous version, with more almonds than his colleagues. It’s made using a skilful blend of almond powder, egg white and icing sugar, for a melting texture and unrivalled sweetness. 📜
Mr Petitjean’s former patisserie is now a driving school, but gourmets will still be able to find the right address to pick up a tasty souvenir of the Limousin, to enjoy and share 🛍️

4. La Boulangerie de la Place
No, no, it's not a macaroon!On the picturesque Place de la République, nestled between the round and square towers, the Boulangerie de la Place is a treasured address for fans of Limousin specialities. 🧁
At the helm, Bruno, a passionate baker who converted after a career in Lorraine, has drawn on his memories of Nancy – and its macaroon – to refine his version of Saint-Léonard de Noblat marzipan. 🥧
Using a recipe passed down by a kind little grandmother from Saint-Léonard de Noblat, he fine-tuned every detail with his wife, his kitchen accomplice, until he found the perfect balance of both baking and proportions. But shhh… the secret is well kept! The result: an artisanal, local, melt-in-your-mouth, memorable biscuit. 😋
