In the market square, in the heart of La Baule
Situated right next to the covered market, Boulangerie Clérault is one of the go-to addresses in La Baule for breakfast, snack breaks, and Sunday cakes. The team of artisan bakers, pastry chefs, and chocolatiers works with fresh products, seeking local and organic sourcing while respecting economic actors and the environment.
The menu changes throughout the year according to the seasons, but some staples are available all year round · the famous Flûte Gana (made from high-quality flour and liquid sourdough according to the recipe of Mr. Ganachaud, Master Baker and Best Craftsman of France), the market baguette (wheat, rye, spelt), and the pavé presqu'île with rye and crushed grains.
Tarte Bauloise, kouign-amann, and pastries

Next to it · the Breton kouign-amann, armoricains with almonds and light praline cream, half-salted butter croissants, New Zealand carrot cake, gluten-free concorde, éclairs, rum babas, and seasonal fruit tarts.
The snacking catering section is very useful in season · pissaladières, pizzas, bagels, quiches, pain bagnat, complete formulas (snack + dessert + drink). Ideal for preparing a beach picnic. Organic breads and gluten-free bread available. Custom cakes available on order at +33 2 40 60 25 21.

Antonin's advice
“This is my go-to bakery for family mornings. The combo of pure butter pastries + Tarte Bauloise is unbeatable. My favourite · the armoricain with praline cream and the market baguette.
