Opened in 1781, this is the oldest bakery in Marseille; it's been passed down between three families, and it still uses the original 18th-century oven. It is the address to pick up Marseille’s signature biscuits, the orange-perfumed navettes de Marseille, as well as calissons (Provençal almond biscuits), nougat and other delights.
