Maison Violette | Place des Corps Saints

Great experience in Avignon. We found the bakery/cafe early on during our holiday and we have returned nearly every day. They offer a wide range of pastry selections. Everything we had was fresh and delicious. Will be back 😊

This place was recommended by our local Air BnB host. So many bakeries in Avignon, yet this one stands out. A wonderful selection of breads, pastries and fresh sandwiches and salads. I give it an Extra Star for having gluten free items available. (Yay!) Today we purchased all gluten free (sans gluten) items. An orange bread, a muffin with dark chocolate and a very large meringue with toasted almond on top. All delicious! Locals love it, so who am I to argue? Also I read the review on the poor service from awhile back, but the service was friendly and accommodating!

This morning I had breakfast in this little typical bakery. I couldn’t choose a better place: coffe is good and food is even better! If you are a cream lover you MUST try the FLAN ( the best dessert I have ever had). The girls working there are lovely. keep it up!

What a gorgeous little bakery! Used Google to find “bakery near me” and we ended up at Madison Violette. The pain de chocolat was delicious and the sweet thing (have no idea what it is) I had was yummy. The lady behind the counter was very helpful and produced two “big big” coffees. We were grateful. Definitely a place to stop in. Petit déjeuner, déjeuner, and more. Much more. We didn’t need gluten free but they obviously have some choices for those who need it. A lovely way to start our day in Avignon.

This place has amazing freshly baked bread. I feel that a lot of the 1 star reviews are unfounded and unjust. I was up the street at Laiterie Gilbert when I mentioned to the store clerk I need fresh bread for the charcuterie. Luckily the wife of the owner was in line as well. She called the bakery, as it was close to closing time, to notify them that we were coming and to stay open for us. The ladies behind the counter were very patient with our broken English and took the time to explain each bread selection. We settled on their specialty, the bread that has a hint of orange. It was baked to perfection with the subtle sweet taste of orange and a nicely caramelized crust. Would love to be able to get bread from them each day.

Very pleasant place to sit outside on the sun and enjoy your breakfast. Try the pistachio thing from the photo and you'll remember this place forever!

I went there for madeleine but unfortunately it wasn't available. I however tasted fougasse d’Aigues-mortes which was quite delicious.

Limited gluten free options and a bit dry, friendly service

I like this local chain with bread and pastries. This is the only one of three which has seating on a street patio. It is also the closest to the main station (7 min. walk).

This is a review of the Maison Violette in Villeneuve-lez-Avignon, the suburb across the Rhône from Avignon proper. Dîtes-moi pourquoi Proust a mangé seulement les petites Madeleines? Le monde de la pâtisserie est grand, varié, et plein de la beauté visuelle et gustative. La Maison Violette vous offre ce monde entier avec la service polite. Prenez ce plaisir épicurien pour vous-même.

Quite a cute bakery located in the small town of Avignon. The interior is small and no indoor seating whatsoever. It's a good place for a grab and go. I got a pain au chocolat. It was quite flaky. Overall simply delicious. Google/apple pay is accepted. Maison Violette is a little bakery perfect for that morning rush.

My friend and I were looking for a good bakery during our stay in Avignon. Maison Violette was just right. They had proper sized americanos (always a struggle to find in Europe). I got the pistachio loaf, which was perfectly baked, moist and not too sweet. My friend got the raspberry tart which was very citrusy and delicious. Definitely recommended if you are in Avignon!

very cute bakery throughout Avignon, there are many with the same/similar name throughout old town. ordered coffee, as we needed a pick me up throughout our visit. Good, solid coffees (americanos, flat white, espresso)

Absolutely everything here was delicious. We tasted quite a few of the pastries... favorites included the lemon poppyseed bread, a pistachio bread with berries, a large cream puff of sorts, and of course the pain au chocolat. Scrumptious baguettes as well! Definitely a must in Avignon!
