Trusted reviews

• Meg Zimbeck for Budget Travel (2010) “The pain au levain, or sourdough bread, is a simple but delicious option…”
• The Girl Who Ate Everything (2008) “I went to Gosselin one Sunday morning (a time when many bakeries are closed) just to try its famed baguette. And it was awesome: chewy, crusty, and full of warm grainy flavors. I also tried a croissant and pain aux raisins, neither of which did much for my taste buds.”
