Planning a visit to the beautiful Mayenne region? Don’t miss out on one of our most beloved local specialities – the galette! These savoury buckwheat pancakes are a true taste of rural French tradition and the perfect way to experience Mayenne on a plate. 🌿
While galettes are popular across western France, Mayenne adds its own delicious twist with local ingredients. Here are a few must-try fillings when you’re here:
🧀 Tomme de Laval – creamy, nutty local cheese that melts beautifully.
🥩 Jambon de Mayenne – rustic cured ham from nearby farms.
🍄 Forest mushrooms – earthy and rich, foraged from local woodlands.
🥚 Egg & cheese – a classic combo with regional flair.
🍏 Caramelised apples & camembert – a sweet-savoury surprise that locals love!
Pair your galette with a glass of crisp Breton cider or a local apple juice for the full experience. 🍎✨
📍 Find them at local crêperies, weekly markets, or traditional bistros tucked away in charming villages.
