One of my favorite bakeries in Bordeaux is Le Boulanger de l'Hôtel de Ville. It's actually part of the small Jocteur chain in France but it's unique and warm atmosphere makes it impossible to tell! Exposed beams peek out from the ceiling, rustic wood planks act as a floor, mismatched plates and baskets collect the crumbs of viennoiseries, and a vintage counter welcomes pastry lovers with a display of beautiful bread-y delights. The staff seem to always be smiling and they are, by far, the friendliest compared to every bakery I've been to. In the back kitchen, the pastry chefs do wonders with raspberries and perfect their their electric pink specialty called the praline. If you're ever in Bordeaux, this is a boulangerie that can't be missed!
