Last summer while vacationing in the southwest of France (the region where my husband is from) I got addicted to Pastis Landais, a sweet brioche that I literally would snack on throughout the day (related CRAFT post here). The pastries I enjoyed during my time there were all from this local bakery in Parentis en Born called Patisserie Bled Fr�d�ric, run by a husband and wife team, Katia and Fr�d�ric Bled. My mother-in-law frequents this patisserie and Katia and Fr�d�ric were nice enough to open up their shop doors to give me a behind the scenes look at how french pastries are really done. What I observed was Fr�d�ric's amazing attention to detail - every pastry looked beautiful and symmetrical - as well as his ability to multi-task between each projects of pastries and breads. Every pastry was a work of art as you can see and quite delicious as I taste tested most of them as my "research". If you ever get a chance to visit this enchanting town and summer lake vacation spot, you'll have to stop at this wonderful local patisserie for it's delicious treats and French charm.
