Where can you find Massepain de Saint-Léonard?
1. Boulangerie - Pâtisserie Martin
Do your shopping in a medieval shopIn the protective shadow of one of the best-preserved medieval buildings in the 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 ground on granite cylinders, before being mixed with egg white and sugar to bake this little cake from the Limousin region 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. 📜
As for Mr Petitjean’s former patisserie, it has now become a driving school, but gourmets will still be able to find the right address for a gourmet souvenir from the Limousin region, to savour and share 🛍️

3. Coignac House
For the Confrérie...In Saint-Léonard-de-Noblat, Maison Coignac delights the curious and the gourmet with two must-visit addresses: the bakery-pastry shop right next to the collegiate church, in the historic centre, and its tea room-chocolate shop a stone’s throw from the tourist office, where you can also visit a mini marzipan museum. 🤓
At the helm, Vincent, a passionate craftsman and member of the Marzipan Brotherhood, perpetuates the family know-how while adding his own touch. 😋
He uses California almonds, renowned for their sweetness, which he passes several times through his granite rollers to preserve their flavours. The result? An artisan biscuit with a perfect texture, faithful to tradition… and always a little secret 🤫💫.
