Sébastien Martin, the master of Limousin sweets

A true specialty of the city of Miaulétouse, marzipan owes its reputation to a simple recipe, made with just three ingredients: egg white, sugar and almonds! 😋 Sébastien Martin, artisan baker and confectioner, invites you to discover this delicious galette, both crunchy and soft in the mouth, at his patisserie in Saint-Léonard-de-Noblat!

Sébastien and Nathalie Martin

Being from the Limousin means many things to me, such as rurality, conviviality and well-being.

I'd say we live well in Limousin. Because we're close to a lot of things, compared to what a lot of people think, like the sea or the mountains for example.

His presentation …

I’m Sébastien Martin, artisan baker and chocolatier in Saint-Léonard-de-Noblat, but also in the towns of Eymoutiers, Châteauneuf-la-Forêt and Bujaleuf.

Must-see places in Haute-Vienne

Without being chauvinistic… I’d say Saint-Léonard-de-Noblat, a beautiful medieval town with some very fine buildings, as well as a collegiate church listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

And of course, marzipan, to be eaten without moderation! 😋

How does the brand suit you?

🍃 It suits me because it promotes our destination, which deserves a stay!

His pride...

What I’m most proud of is being self-employed.
But also that the department has invited me to take part in the Salon de l’Agriculture in Paris in January 2024, to properly represent our beautiful destination and its know-how.
