Les Éclaireurs, the delightful concept of éclair bars that makes Lyon salivate

« Light up tomorrow with today! », said the English poetess Elizabeth Barrett Browning. It's a saying we can now truly embrace. Starting from a small shop at La Commune at the end of 2018 for a year, the concept of the Éclaireurs Pâtissiers has grown at lightning speed to take over the city. Today, the little company from yesterday boasts 3 sales points in Lyon: 20 place des Terreaux in the heart of the Fine Arts Museum (Lyon 1st), within the Westfield la Part-Dieu shopping center (Lyon 3rd), and at 164 avenue des Frères Lumière in the Monplaisir neighborhood (Lyon 8th) for a few weeks now

A wonderfully successful story that’s well-deserved, thanks to the limitless creativity of its two founders, Guillaume and Romain. They’ve created over 50 unique recipes, from original delights like raspberry matcha to classic favorites like chocolate and salted caramel, along with must-haves like pistachio and passion fruit. Every week, the shop offers 9 sweet recipes and 3 savory ones, carefully selected based on seasonal ingredients, ensuring only the best choices are made.

But that's not all, because the Éclaireurs Pâtissiers don’t just satisfy the sweet tooth! Savory éclairs are also part of the lineup and they look just as tempting, especially with recipes that are truly Lyonnais, like the éclair with Lyon sausage or with pink praline, but also featuring salmon & dill, mozzarella tomatoes, bacon & nuts, and even chorizo! To add some variety and please an even wider audience, the Éclaireurs also offer a collection of high-end seasonal pastries (tarts, millefeuille, rochers, pavlova,...) available exclusively at their Monplaisir store.

Pâtisseries 30 to 40% less sugary

And when it comes to seasonal recipes, it also means original creations for the holidays and all the events that make the year special. Whether it's Christmas, Valentine's Day, Easter, Mother's Day, or Epiphany, the Éclaireurs pull out all the stops with activities and offers tailored for each celebration. So, it's quite common to find chocolate éclairs for Easter, raclette cheese treats in winter, or those delightful rose and frangipane flavors...

So grab a napkin to wipe away that drool hanging at the corner of your lips…
