“God gave us the boulangerie for a reason and that reason is breakfast.”
Felicity Cloake, One More Croissant for the Road

Elizabeth Bard
“There was a bottleneck up ahead at the boulangerie. A wrought-iron cart, a more elegant version of the pretzel vendors' on the streets of New York, was posted outside. In addition to croissants and pains au chocolat, it was loaded with flattish ovals of yeasted bread. Some were covered with grated Gruyère cheese and bacon, some with a tangle of caramelized onions and anchovies. The script on the chalkboard sign said Fougasse, which I took to be a type of local focaccia. I leaned toward one topped with toasted walnuts, pungent with the smell of recently melted Roquefort cheese.”
Elizabeth Bard, Picnic in Provence: A Memoir with Recipes

“Trop souvent, on aime comme on va chez le boulanger. Sans passion, avec toute- fois un certain plaisir anticipé, des fois qu’un gâteau nous fasse de l’œil. On appelle ça de l’amour pour se justifier, comme le boulanger est pâtissier par la grâce des fonds de tarte industriels qu’il reçoit nocturnement par camion réfrigéré. Mais on a besoin de pain et, de temps à autre, aussi d’un gâteau – d’un dimanche, en somme – pour rompre la monotonie.”
Fabien Maréchal, L'Attendeur (de Première classe)
