Philippe Segond
Aix en Provence - Producer
Enter the famous workshop and plunge into the exquisite world of Philippe Segond, awarded the title of the Best Craftsman in France for cake and sweet-making – a master chocolate-maker, calission-maker and ice cream maker.
In the cosy atmosphere of his tea room, you can enjoy some exceptional cakes, macaroons, chocolates, ice creams and traditional biscuits together with an incredibly smooth house hot chocolate, Damman Frères tea or a world coffee.
It's impossible not to fall in love with the ancestral recipe for Aix calissons, with very little sugar, but very aromatic, and made by hand in the workshop in Le Tholonet near Aix-en-Provence.
