Finding the best bread in the region can be tricky, as sometimes the good places close or fall off in quality. Of course, nearly any place that sells bread will still be better than anything you can get in the U.S.!
Our favorite place at the moment is La Fontaine aux Gourmandises in Meyssac, which has excellent country baguettes as well as croissant and pain au chocolat. In fact, we often make a run over there in the morning to purchase our breakfast pastries! Also try the pain rustique—which will last a few days before going stale—and the excellent patisseries.
This place is just off the main square of Meyssac (where they hold the farmer’s market), just above the central fountain. Most days you can find street parking close by, but on market days we’d recommend parking up the road a bit – see the Farmer’s Market entry for details.
