Just a few days before Christmas, as the pressure builds with forgotten gifts and cooking the turkey, a bakery-pâtisserie in the 6th arrondissement unveils the ultimate weapon to save dessert. Their idea? Transform the most famous Lyon monuments into ultra-realistic Yule logs. The result: a guaranteed "wow" effect as soon as they arrive on the table.
Architectural logs... and ultra delicious
Behind the stunning visual display lies a true artisan's work, precise and generous. The Basilique de Fourvière log goes all-in on chocolate with a soft biscuit, crunchy praline, and a flowing caramel insert. On the other hand, the Brotteaux version focuses on finesse with a macadamia nut biscuit, a fleur de sel praline, and a Madagascar vanilla mousse. These creations are designed for 6 to 8 people, perfect for sharing... or not!

A Christmas dessert that embraces its premium side
At €70 for Brotteaux and €74 for Fourvière, these Yule logs aren’t pretending; they proudly embrace their status as exceptional treats. This is clearly a show-stopping dessert, the kind that silences the table even before the first bite. And when beauty pairs so wonderfully with deliciousness, the bill is much easier to swallow. After all, dining on a classified monument only happens once a year!

For the wise ones—or the superstitious—the house has thought of everything. In addition to the logs, the pastry shop offers a delightful range of fruit illusions filled with high-quality sorbets. Lemon, mango, passion fruit, or pineapple: the illusion is perfect, and the freshness is delightful after a festive meal. An elegant alternative for those who prefer to avoid “cutting” Fourvière.
