Maison Chevallot - Val-d'Isère

Great coffee and just amazing patisserie and baking. Love the brioche praline, and the opera and the succes cafe, and the raspberry frangipane tart....week is not long enough to try them all! I have seen quite a few reviews (of this and other places where people feel that they get a bad service if they don 't speak French. Maybe I am lucky in that I speak reasonable French, with a good accent (so I am told anyway but my husband speaks far less and with a pretty awful accent tbh. BUT the fact that he tries makes a huge difference, and we have found this all over France. It is pretty embarrassing hearing English people not even attempting to say anything at all (even merci in French and instead just barking loudly and rudely single demands like hot chocolate in English (I heard this at the restaurant L 'ouillette I am about to visit a country whose language I do not know at all...but I am at least learning to say please and thank you!

Amazing array of sweet and savoury treats. The Chevallot in the centre of town does these amazing chorizo baguettes which are like pizza dough and are unbelievably addictive. Never fails :

A delicious bakery. They have an authentic french baguette, so delicious. The pastries are fresh and full of flavour. Worth a visit

Nous avons découvert cette boulangerie par hasard et n’avons pas été déçus : viennoiseries excellentes, très bon pain, sandwiches goûteux. C’est très bon et les vendeurs/euses sont très attentionnés et polis. Les prix sont un peu plus élevés qu’en vallée et le choix est limité si on arrive en milieu de matinée.
