The weather was terrible. Rain squalls, strong winds and a temperature of 10 C. Parking in the lot below town, I donned my rain coat and rapidly walked the 400 meters to the bakery. What a delightful experience! As a baker myself (I bake all my bread at home), I had wonderful 1/2 hour conversation with the proprietor (I am reasonably fluent in French). One of those experiences that underscores the benefits of travel.
I bought a loaf of rouge de Bourdeaux, kamut pasta, some cookies, and the first book written about the proprietor. There is no indoor seating, so on a day like this, I enjoyed my coffee standing up. Definitely worth the trip!
