Navette de Marseille · Marseille
The navette is a dry boat-shaped biscuit perfumed with orange-blossom water, baked without yeast in a wood-fired oven, the canonical Marseille souvenir biscuit from the Four des Navettes since 1781.
Four des Navettes at 136 Rue Sainte has baked the navette in a Roman-model oven since 1781, the recipe held by three families over the generations. The boat shape comes from one of two legends: either the unmanned boat that brought the Saintes Maries to the Provencal coast, or the form of a Black Virgin statue washed up at the Lacydon. Every February 2 the Archbishop of Marseille processes from the Vieux Port to Saint-Victor Abbey to bless the Black Virgin, then walks to the bakery to bless the oven and the day's navettes.
