La Halle au Blé

Located on the north-west coast of France, in the region of Brittany, the charming walled city of Saint-Malo is historic, lovely, and steeped in culture. Now greatly expanded, the city is made up of the preserved and delightful walled old town and the more sprawling new town that expands beyond the port. A place of gorgeous beaches, quaint stone buildings, and wonderful architectural gems and the recognised as the most-visited place in the region, it is the ideal destination for your next vacation in Brittany.

Brittany is best-known for her stunning scenery, wind-swept coastline, and impossibly pretty towns but this northern and distinct region of France also has plenty of cultural and culinary offerings that are unique and well worth seeking out. The cuisine of Brittany, in particular, has lots of sweet treats, indulgent and hearty dishes, tasty tipples, incredible seafood, and lingering Celtic fare.

Kouign-Amann

The best-known Breton dessert, this butter-heavy cake was invented in the 19th century when a baker named Yves-René Scordia had nothing left to sell in his shop and used his remaining bread dough folded in with layers upon layers of sugar and butter to create something new. Beyond indulgent, Kouign-Amann eventually became a Breton staple.
