Located at the entrance of the main shopping street of Besançon (population 115,000) is a patisserie by the name of Baud. Baud is a member of the prestigious Relais Desserts International — an exclusive trade organization.

The somewhat ordinary looking sales area and restaurant hides the fact that here one can find world-class pastries, chocolates, and ice cream at Baud. (The free samples were mighty tasty!)
