Without a doubt, Le Fournil is one of the best bakeries in town—everyone agrees, including
The Stranger's French Intern, Julien Massillon. From
his report: "The thickness of the croissant was stunning. It looked like one from the best French
boulangeries. I couldn’t believe it. I approached it to my mouth and smelled this delicate and unforgettable perfume. So good. Then my teeth went in the croissant, and the taste bud(die)s on my tongue started a party. I don’t know how to translate it all in English, so I’ll write it in French and you’ll figure out a way to understand what I mean.
C’était délicieux. Savoureux. Goûteux. Tendre et croustillant en même temps. Fabuleux. Exaltant. Jouissif. Oui, jouissif."
