Ideally located bakeries and pastry shops in Vendée

Head to the south of the Vendée region to taste the unique creations of Maison le Barillec. While the first location was already a success after opening in 2021, the inauguration of the second took place in March 2026.

  • La Maison le Barillec in Jard-sur-Mer is located 200 meters from Boisvinet beach and a few minutes from the port, allowing locals and tourists to enjoy a pastry or a delicious cake facing the sea and the iodine spray.
  • La Maison le Barillec in Saint-Vincent-sur-Jard will be 15 minutes from Goulet beach on a busy road, ideal for enjoying a homemade lunch with your feet in the sand during the summer season.

A bakery that's 100% enjoyable at every moment of the day

Breads

The first buttery aromas waft through southern Vendée early in the morning, drawing in those with a sweet tooth for breakfast. Chocolate croissants, croissants, almond-chocolate rolls, apple turnovers, cookies, raisin bread, brioches, gâches… Pastries are pure delights to enjoy alone or share upon waking or at teatime. Not to mention the breads and baguettes, which are simply divine, a diverse bakery selection including:

  • Organic country breads, wholemeal, spelt, Norwegian
  • Sliced breads: sourdough, buckwheat, brown, corn
  • Crispy baguettes with a soft crumb, like parisse, cereal or ficelle.


For breakfast, to accompany a meal, at snack time or for pleasure, Maison le Barillec is the perfect bakery to enjoy.


Creative and delicious pastries to enjoy without moderation

If you've fallen for the pastries at Maison le Barillec, you'll be captivated by their delicious handcrafted cakes. Light, fragrant, and subtly sweet with perfectly balanced flavors, they delight the taste buds with every bite. The selection is varied and evolves throughout the year, as the bakers work exclusively with raw ingredients, using local and seasonal produce – a guarantee of freshness and quality. Each unique recipe is personalized to offer an unforgettable taste experience, combining the crispness of pastry with the smoothness of cream, the softness of sponge cake with the crunch of caramel, or the sweetness of Chantilly cream with the deliciousness of fruit. From tarts and éclairs to flans, signature pastries, and seasonal creations, the cakes are served individually or as individual desserts to share.



Maison le Barillec also produces lunch platters composed of multiple sweets and travel cakes such as flavored cakes or their famous Terre de Mars.

An addictive chocolate shop in Vendée

You'll be constantly surprised at Maison le Barillec, as owner Clément is a pastry chef and chocolatier brimming with ideas. Passionate about his craft and the smiles of his customers, he creates a complete and varied chocolate range using only the finest ingredients. Indeed, each ingredient is carefully selected to craft the most exquisite cocoa treats, from grand cru Swiss chocolate and wild Bolivian chocolate to Opus 35, which, according to Clément, is one of the best white chocolates in the world. Chocolate lovers will want to try everything: the crunchy chocolate bars, the melt-in-your-mouth ganaches, the indulgent chocolate bars, the fruit-filled caramels … not to mention the seasonal creations that celebrate the year's special occasions! While chocolate transforms into pumpkins or acorns at Halloween, it becomes delightful elves and Christmas trees at Christmas, or tasty little hearts for Valentine's Day.
