Les friandises de la plus ancienne fabrique de calissons d’Aix. L’épicerie Brémond fut fondée en 1830 sur le cours Mirabeau, avant de déménager en 1986 rue d’Italie où la boutique dédiée au sucré se trouve toujours.

Une seconde boutique aixoise, rue Bédarrides, accueille un atelier de confection de biscuits et toute la gamme salée.

The art of roasting. Mathieu Taborcia is certainly a chocolate maker — and what a chocolate maker! —, but also a roaster. His shop, established in the village of Lambesc, is one of the few in Provence to offer bean-to-bar chocolate, an expression that means “from the bean to the bar”: he works with different origins of cocoa whose beans he roasts himself. However, if aromas begin to form during fermentation, it is this stage that gives chocolate its characteristic taste. The craftsman's paw does the rest.

The range of confectionery — calissons, nougats, candied fruits, crunchy fruits and other delicacies from the South — is now combined under the historic brand “Brémond Fils”, which already covered the institution's sweets at the beginning. A second shop in Aix, rue Bédarrides, hosts a workshop for making cookies and the whole range of savory products.

The quality approach from A to Z. This house, created in 2013, has become an institution in the Aix bakery industry thanks to word of mouth. Natural sourdough breads, tasty, digestible and of excellent nutritional quality, are made with organic flours without additives or enhancers.
