With its traditional biscuit making, a shop selling local products and an eco-museum of the trades of yesteryear, the biscuiterie Ménou is one of those unusual places that is impossible to categorise! But there’s one thing that everyone can agree on: its spirit of generosity and conviviality. A moment out of time to please all ages, and well worth a little detour to Plougonver!
Museum of traditional trades
As soon we step through the door we’re transported back to a village square from the 1930s to the 60s. A garage, a dentist’s, a bakery, a hairdresser’s, and of course a bistro.
The displays, created using objects carefully collected by M and Mme Ménou, look just like the real thing! Memories come flooding back, and youngsters listen enthralled as old-timers reveal stories from their younger days.
Delicious aromas to tickle your tastebuds
At the back of the building, M. Ménou is busy preparing some sweet treats with a delicious taste of butter for us to enjoy. Yum!
It’s going to be hard to choose between kouign-amann butter cake, palmiers, madeleines or palet breton biscuits!
