The bakery Au paradis des Gourmands, in Garons, won during the week dedicated to our region, as part of the M6 ​​TV show La meilleure boulangerie de France.

Last July, the television cameras of the M6 ​​channel came to rest in the Gard for the new season of the show La meilleure boulangerie de France. Selected to participate in this adventure, the Garons establishment, Au paradis des gourmands, took up the challenge wholeheartedly and threw itself into the challenge.

A challenge brilliantly met

For two months, the entire team of Le Paradis des gourmands had then set about developing the recipes that would be proposed and presented for the show by Thibaut Combe and Guillaume Mahoudeau. Laurent Combe, the owner, admitted at the time, “even if it's Thibaut and Guillaume who are doing the competition, it's a collective adventure. The fourteen people who work at the bakery have done an exceptional job. For two months, we all got together to prepare this”.

This Thursday, January 9, after long months of waiting, it was time to see on the screens the result of all the efforts made by the Garonne team. And the least we can say is that the bakery made the department shine, imposing itself hands down against its competitor of the day. Corn bread, pavlova with thyme and black olives, Nîmes sandwich with breaded Nîmes brandade… So many successes that, at the end of the day, allowed them to collect an exceptional average of 9.3 out of 10.

Masa Mama, in Nîmes, stands out

And this Friday, at the end of the week's review led by Noémie Honiat and Bruno Cormerais, star members of the jury, the Gard bakers therefore awaited the verdict: who would be chosen to represent the Occitanie region during the national final of the show ?

Five candidates were still in the running, from Pézenas, Montpellier, Castelnau-le-Lez, Garons, but also from Nîmes thanks to the performance of the day by Clément and his team for Masa Mama (12 rue Vincent Faïta). After a period of suspense, Bruno Cormerais, Meilleur Ouvrier de France, finally acclaimed the triumph of Au paradis des gourmands. What a real paradise for the people of Gard! See you soon to rub shoulders with the other regional representatives in Paris.
