4. THE JEWEL to savor.
La madeleine de Saint-YrieixGolden, pot-bellied cakes shaped like scallops. A journeyman confectioner popularized them in Saint-Yrieix in the mid-19th century.
The “Maison Bijou” gradually made Arie’s expertise in this field known throughout the Limousin and beyond.
The traditional madeleine from Saint-Yrieix is made from quality ingredients (flour, butter, sugar, eggs). Preservative-free, it is distinguished by its incomparable softness and bitter almond flavor.
Don’t hesitate to visit our factory outlet and discover all our flavors (plain, chocolate, jam-based, etc.).
Plus: we invite you to discover our madeleine makers, who handcraft our tasty madeleines!

5. LE MASSEPAIN à croquer
Gourmandise des mialétousA speciality of Saint-Léonard-de-Noblat, this little cookie is made from almonds, sugar and egg whites.
It’s interesting to learn that marzipan was introduced to Saint-Léonard-de-Noblat by a pilgrim from Santiago de Compostela.
It seems that this pilgrim consumed almond-based cookies to give himself energy.
Camille Petitjean then tasted these cookies and took over the recipe. It’s a wonderful story of culinary transmission!
