Best Puits d'Amour
in Bordeaux

Beyond the Canelé, Bordeaux has a rich tradition of local sweets. The Puits d'Amour (Wells of Love) are delicate puff pastry shells filled with a rich chiboust cream and caramelized on top. They offer a perfect balance between the crunchy, slightly bitter caramel and the cool, sweet cream. Another local favorite included here is the Dunes Blanches, light cream-filled chouquettes. These are essential stops for anyone with a sweet tooth.
