About a 10-minute walk from Marseille’s Gare Saint-Charles, under the shade of the trees which line cours Joseph Theirry, is a boulangerie called LE BAR À PAINwith a credible and conscious concept.
With its open plan kitchen, you can watch their team of bakers knead dough for the next days while the scent of baked goods undulates around you. Each item from their plethora of flavourful organic breads, treats and snacks is essentially a work of gastronomic art, with fig-almond bread, country cookies, and butter buns that will both satisfy and excite any carb bound craving.
LE BAR À PAIN offers each bread by weight, meaning you purchase the quantity you desire to consume – whether you’re alone, or hosting a dinner party at home – causing less waste to you and the world. The bakery doubles as a bistro as well, with small tables, both inside and out and a menu of affordable plates you can enjoy along with one of their fairtrade coffees, organic teas or a glass of ice cold water.
The staff have a warmth to them that is customary in Marseille, each one bright-eyed, patient and smiling, creating a cosy and welcoming environment to pass by or enjoy a meal in.
