Beaune, Burgundy

As we wander through the medieval streets of Beaune, the aroma of freshly baked pastries fills the air. We find ourselves drawn to Patisserie Fabien Berteau, a charming shop owned by a talented husband-and-wife team. Here, traditional French patisserie is taken to new heights. With precision and passion, they craft exquisite pastries that are as beautiful as they are delicious. From the delicate layers of the mille-feuille to the crisp shells of the macarons, each bite is a moment of pure indulgence. It's a sweet symphony for the taste buds that showcases the true artistry of French patisserie.
