Boulangerie Aixoise

Marseille


The Aixoise has given locals their daily bread, in all its forms – pain de campagne (country bread), crunchy ficelle (minibaguettes) or a classic baguette – since 1920. It also bakes great navettes (traditional boat-shaped Provençal biscuits) and other sweet treats.
