Pâtisserie Brémond 1830

Pâtisserie Brémond 1830 is a historic bakery and confectioner on Rue Joseph Vernet in Avignon, in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France. The year in its name marks the founding date, which places it among the long-established food shops of the city and reflects the pride that Avignon takes in its confectionery traditions. Rue Joseph Vernet is one of the main streets of the centre, running from the area near the Porte de la République southward and lined with shops, cafés and restaurants. The shop is listed as specialising in berlingots and papalines d'Avignon. Berlingots are small, striped, pyramid-shaped boiled sweets, flavoured with mint, citrus or other essences and traditionally associated with Provence and Carpentras. Papalines d'Avignon are chocolate-covered sweets filled with an origan liqueur, a local speciality named in reference to the popes who lived in Avignon during the fourteenth century. Alongside these, a French pâtisserie of this kind usually sells pastries, tarts, breads, macarons, candied fruit and seasonal items, which makes it a handy place for a breakfast croissant or a gift box. Prices are low at about EUR 3 to 12 (roughly $3-14), depending on whether visitors buy a single pastry or a bag of sweets. The atmosphere is that of a traditional shop, with a counter, display cases and quick service, so it suits a short stop rather than a long sit-down meal. Typical hours are Tuesday to Saturday from 08:00 to 19:00, but visitors should verify before visiting, especially around public holidays and in August. Reservations are not needed. Sweets are easy to carry and travel well, which makes the shop a practical source of edible souvenirs before leaving the city.
