Bakeries & cafés in La Tranche-sur-Mer

Two traditional bakeries in La Tranche-sur-Mer, the Vendée seaside resort, stagger their days off: Maison Maudhuizon Charrier on Place de la Liberté closes on Wednesdays, and Boulangerie Patisserie Artisan on Rue Aristide Briand on Mondays. Both break between 1 and 4 PM and open only in the morning on Sundays, and reviews of both mention baguettes and viennoiseries. Franc Picard on Rue Victor Hugo is a bar-tabac with a PMU counter and a terrace, open every day from 6:30 AM to 8:30 PM. Caramel Chocolat Gourmandises à la plage on Avenue Maurice Samson is a chocolate shop with short split hours on Tuesdays and Saturdays and a Sunday-afternoon opening.
