One of the great thing about mainland Europe is the pastries. Instead of everywhere being a Greggs (sorry Gregg) you get lots of little places making exciting things that you can try - like all these!
So much crazy variety and necessary sugar. There are sweet and savoury, bread and pastry and so many cakes that I didn't even dare look.
I chose this fruity thing.
Thats basically a turnover, but light and crispy with vanilla custard and actual raspberry fruit inside. And it was amazing! Refrigerating the pastries in the shop too means that you get a cool sensation from the filling which is most welcome in the 34 degree heat. I miss all our little independent bakeries & patisseries we used to have in the UK.
Actually tourist places like Lichfield and Stratford do have a better range of options. Maybe it's the tourism that keeps these places alive.
