Toulouse takes its boulangerie tradition seriously, from the historic violet sweets of the pink city to a new wave of stone-ground sourdough. Maison Pillon on Rue Ozenne in Carmes is the canonical patisserie and chocolatier, famed for the crystallised violet candy, while Violettes et Pastels on Rue Saint-Pantaleon near the Capitole pairs the emblematic violet with the pastel plant. For bread that leans modern, Boulangerie Maurice on Grande Rue Nazareth bakes with ancient grains and peasant wheats.
