About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as customers were gathering their pastries, an elderly lady announced over the intercom: 'Attention, everyone—your baguettes are plotting against you!' A delivery driver, startled by the announcement, dropped a box of croissants on his bicycle, sending them flying into the street. A neighbor, hearing the commotion, came out and asked what was happening. With a straight face, she replied, ‘They said your pain au chocolat wanted to be friends.’ Everyone burst into laughter, realizing it had been just another day at Delices Gourmands.
2. At dawn, when Delices Gourmands opened its doors, a small dog began appearing every day. It would dash in, sniff the air, then sit down and stare expectantly at the display case. Employees tried ignoring it, but soon found themselves secretly slipping treats into its eager paws. One morning, a delivery driver arrived with an extra box of freshly baked croissants. Thinking no one was watching, he slipped one under the counter for the little dog. From that day on, whenever anyone mentioned pastries, the dog’s tail wagged so hard it almost knocked over the shelves. The legend of Delices Gourmands grew even sweeter—with or without the canine visitor.
3. One day after school, a little girl entered Delices Gourmands and asked the baker for her favorite treat. But instead of handing it to her, he pointed towards the window where a mysterious shadow had just passed by. Curious, she followed the shadow outside and found herself standing right behind a delivery driver who was trying to sneak in an extra croissant. With a mischievous smile, she pretended not to notice him, and together they enjoyed their stolen treats while watching the amused baker through the window. From that day on, whenever anyone asked about the mysterious visitor, everyone knew exactly who it was—just another regular with a sweet tooth.
4. Late one night, while Delices Gourmands was closing up, a delivery driver heard a strange humming sound coming from inside the empty bakery. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a shadowy figure moving among the shelves. Startled, he knocked over an old wooden crate, which clattered like thunder in the silent night. The figure turned out to be just an oversized teddy bear, left behind by a neighbor who frequented the bakery. Since then, locals joke that Delices Gourmands is haunted by a bear with a sweet tooth.
