Les Gaudélices biscuit factory and shop
'Les Gaudélices' biscuit factory and shop is where special biscuits from Bresse are made using local products like 'Gaudrioles' made with grilled corn flour. This establishment is also an artisanal bakery selling bread, sandwiches and cakes, all made on-site.
In 2011, Patrick Bourgeois created a biscuit factory just off exit 7 (Bourg Sud) from the A40 motorway, as a tribute to his much-loved Bresse terroir.
His most popular biscuits, 'Gaudrioles' (which come in sweet and savoury varieties) are made using a local and unique ingredient: 'Gaude' flour, which is grilled corn flour. Over the years, butter shortbread, tuiles and other soft biscuits were added to the product range, as well as a whole host of other delicious treats.
In the shop, you can taste the products and also find a range of local products from the French department of Ain.
At 'Les Gaudélices', there is a big, free car park and access for people with reduced mobility.
It is also a bakery, sandwich shop and cake shop. Everything is made on-site. Gift ideas and a tea room.
