4. THE JEWEL to savour.
The madeleine of Saint-YrieixThese small, golden, pot-bellied cakes are shaped like scallops. A journeyman confectioner popularised them at Saint-Yrieix in the mid-19th century.
“La Maison Bijou” gradually established the reputation of Arie’s expertise in this field throughout Limousin and beyond.
The traditional madeleine from Saint-Yrieix is made from quality ingredients (flour, butter, sugar, eggs). Preservative-free, they are incomparably moist and have a bitter almond flavour.
Don’t hesitate to visit the factory outlet and discover all the flavours (plain, chocolate, jam-based, etc.).
Plus: we invite you to discover our madeleine makers, who make our tasty madeleines by hand!

Le Massepain En Limousin 5. LE MASSEPAIN to crunch
Mialétous delicaciesA speciality of Saint-Léonard-de-Noblat, this little biscuit 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 ate almond-based biscuits to give himself energy.
Camille Petitjean then tasted these biscuits and took over the recipe. It’s a wonderful story of culinary transmission!
