I had marked this lovely bakery as the last stop on my slightly over-ambitious "boulangerie/patisserie/chocolaterie walking tour of Lyon". Partisan is situated in the Croix-Rousse area of Lyon, which is on top of a hill. As I had been walking all day, I almost skipped the last haul up to Croix-Rousse, but I am ever so glad that I persevered, as Partisan is one of the very best bakeries I have ever had the pleasure of visiting!
I had a hard time deciding what to buy from their tempting selection of sweet and savoury breads and pastries, but was helped by the friendly woman behind the counter, who also spoke remarkably good English, compared to the Lyon average. I ended up with a cheese and walnut roll, and a Kouign Amann bun. Both were fantastic, perhaps the bun especially so (if you are not familiar with Kouign Amann, it is a fantastic Breton butter cake/pastry).
Of all the boulangeries, patisseries and chocolateries I visited in Lyon, Partisan is my favourite - which is saying something, as there is truly an abundance of delicious things to be had in Lyon!
