Chez Solange - Redon

The only one is true, the only one: the galette of Solange

A passage to Redon without delighting Solange's gales would be inconceivable. Tendres, mellow and varied, her galettes served under the halls have become so famous that we even talk about it in Spain.

Foreigners often ignore this other border that cuts Brittany in two: that of the galette. Retrieving the territories of Upper Brittany, the galette reigns as master. In the markets, popular parties, forage merchants deliver this thick black wheat galette decorated with what makes everyone happy. In Lower Brittany, the fine crêpe of wheat has little competition, and few street merchants offer it. It consumes mainly in crêperies. Redon, former border town of Brittany, where our kings defeated the troops of free emperors, the galette is in its natural element. He buys and eats on market days, when the happy inhabitants of the city have the embarrassment of choice to make their purchases. Under the city halls, of Norman origin, of a line that dates back to the Crusades, Solange managed to become one of the best shipyards of Upper Brittany. Queen of butter cake, with sausage or other flesh, she feasts on Monday, Friday and Saturday. It is better to arm yourself with patience or come sooner to enjoy its succulent creations because otherwise a compact wall of inhabitants respects and extends the waiting time. Faced with the presence of at least four other foran crêpiers, he suffers little from this competition and imposes himself as the traditional rendezvous of galettes lovers.

Very good cake and very pleasant
