Tropezienne

Indulge in the iconic French pastry known as the Tarte Tropézienne, or la Tarte St Tropez. This delightful treat combines a light and fluffy brioche filled with a luscious custard, creating a perfect harmony of flavors and textures. Created in 1955 by the talented pâtissier Alexandre Mika in the charming town of St Tropez, this pastry has become a true classic in French culinary history. Legend has it that the Tarte Tropézienne got its name from none other than the glamorous French actress Brigitte Bardot herself. While filming "And God Created Woman" (Et Dieu Créa La Femme) in St Tropez in 1956, Bardot fell in love with the delicious confection and suggested the name we now know and adore. With its rich history and irresistible combination of flavors, the Tarte Tropézienne is a must-try for any pastry lover. Stay tuned to discover the secrets behind this beloved French dessert with Chef Bruno Albouze as he shares his expertise and passion for creating exquisite delicacies.
