After one day in N\u00eemes<\/a>, I continued my road trip through the south of France<\/strong> and I stopped in Montpellier<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Montpellier<\/a><\/p>\n

I loved Montpellier: it is one of the biggest cities in France<\/strong> and it seemed very dynamic, young and fresh<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Among the many architectural treasures<\/strong> in Montpellier, the central Place de la Com\u00e9die<\/strong> is really remarkable and apparently it’s the biggest pedestrian square in Europe<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

\"Place<\/a>

Place de la Com\u00e9die – Montpellier<\/p><\/div>\n

The whole city centre is pedestrian and it’s very extended, but to find the pastry shop I was looking for I had to take my car<\/strong> and go to a calm residential area.<\/p>\n

In avenue de Lod\u00e8ve<\/strong>, I found one of the two Scholler<\/strong> <\/a>boutiques in town.<\/p>\n

Ok, the first impression was not encouraging<\/strong>. It was Sunday morning, nobody was in the street<\/em> of that residential area, and the only pastry shop I found looked like this:<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

The entrance of P\u00e2tisserie Scholler in avenue Lod\u00e8ve – Montpellier<\/p><\/div>\n

Both the sign and the shop window were shouting “Welcome to the 60’s<\/strong>“! \ud83d\ude1b I seriously had doubts: “Is this the place?<\/em>“.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, you can’t judge a book by its cover<\/strong>: as a matter of fact, the interior of the shop was much better and I found some nicely-decorated, colourful and appealing cakes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Scholler---Montpellier01\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Scholler---Montpellier02\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In particular there was a very simple frozen dessert that captured my attention<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

\"Scholler---Montpellier03\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I know it’s nothing special, it’s just ice cream scoops with a few berries<\/strong> on nougatine, but still it’s something easy and effective<\/strong> at the same time and you don’t see it everywhere.<\/p>\n

Finally, I bought my breakfast<\/strong>. The box was classier than what I was expecting: good cardboard and elegant design (too bad it was made of two bottoms of the same size, which of course didn’t look very elegant).<\/p>\n

\"Scholler---Montpellier06\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The breakfast I had chosen was one of my favourite desserts: an \u00e9clair version of the Paris-Brest<\/strong>. It was all covered with caramelized hazelnuts<\/strong>, which made it even yummier! The \u00e9clair was really good and I would have definitely bought another one, even if I have to recognize it was not “haute p\u00e2tisserie”<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"Scholler---Montpellier07\"<\/a><\/p>\n

To recap: my random pick satisfied me<\/strong>, the appearance of the other cakes as well; unfortunately the shop was a bit old-fashioned<\/strong>, but the prices were quite honest (even though during my trip I realized that probably any city is cheaper than Cannes)! I think this p\u00e2tisserie is worth a stop!<\/strong><\/p>\n

ps: after seeing some photos online, I think the second Aiguelongue shop is much more modern than the one I visited!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
