Patisserie Sylvain Depuichaffray

"A couple of blocks from Vieux Port is the reigning king of desserts in Marseille, Patisserie Sylvain Depuichaffray. This is a great place for a break while sightseeing, and to fortify yourself with a pastry or two and a cup of tea. Their glass case is filled with the best range in the city, hitting every French classic and then some—millefeuilles, macarons, summery fraisiers, raspberry-pistachio Paris-Brest d’été, and lemon tarts. There are also some treats that are less common in France, like a milk chocolate tart with caramel, peanut butter, and banana, plus house-made gelato and chocolates. Air-conditioning: Yes. " - sophie friedman
