I never tire of looking into bakeries. This one is next to the Marché de l'Estacade--the outdoor market I go to. There is very little standing space inside, which is typical of older bakeries.
When I spoke to a baker last year, he said that baking bread in the past used to be a lot simpler--just bake a lot of plain white baguette. Now people like to have choices and so that is what most bakeries provide. You can get whole-wheat baguette, semi-whole wheat baguette, 5-grain boules--"rounds", 12-grain baguette, etc. I like the variety.
Almost all bakeries all offer basic pastries--croissants, pains au chocolat, flans, even brownies. They also make single servings of quiches and pizzas.
And then not so basic pastries are also sold. These usually cost between 2 and 3 euros a piece.
