Every time we visit the ancient part of Lile in France, we pass by a small but luxury bakery, where's always a huge crowd in front, waiting to get in. We never did, not knowing what to cue for.
Untill today.
We discovered 'Aux Merveilleux de Fred'.
And now you will too.
Because, once you tasted the 'magnifique' small or large meringues, you WIIL cue. They're just too delicious....
People are looking for authenticity, food with local traditions and a great story. Well, Fred has it all. No wonder people pass this address.
See you in Lille!
What are the Merveilleux de Fred about?
Well, the Merveilleux is a confectionary whose lightness is only equalled by that of the Précieux and the Extravagants under the Directory regime at the end of the 18th century. Meringues coated in whipped cream, they are a traditional recipe of the north of France and Flanders. Often decried, sometimes forgotten, overlooked from time to time, Frédéric Vaucamps succeeded in bringing back their former glory by enhancing the recipe from 1985.
The Merveilleux are available in mini, individual or shared cake sizes. The cakes can also be customised for special occasions (birthdays, ceremonies, weddings, professional events...).
Don’t hesitate to specify when ordering (either by telephone or in shop).
