Breads
Our French Breads are made on the premises by Eric Rousseau’s expertly trained team. The respect for the grain, the fermentation process and of course the ‘savoir faire’ of the baker all blend to make a range of breads that few can match. At Belle Epoque our flour is from the leading French flour mill ‘Grands Moulins de Paris’ (G.M.P). We use only the finest ingredients in our breads and are dedicated in providing our customers with an irresistible selection of breads. -
Pain de Campagne
Pain de Campagne
An absolute must for a picnic with friends. We recommend this rustic bread to enjoy with a slice of rosette sausage and some grapes, or a piece of Tome cheese and some bacon.

Pain Complet
Pain Complet
This is a very tasty and digestible wholesome bread. It’s an ideal bread for simply dipping in olive oil or savouring with a more complex dish of prunes and bacon. A true delight.

Pain Campaillou
Pain Campaillou
This rustic cobblestone loaf is suitable for all types of meals. Aromas of rye sourdough and caramel are encased in a thick crust. How about a slice of ham, goats cheese and tapenade?

Pain Paysan (raisin & walnut)
Pain Paysan (raisin & walnut)
At least a quarter of this loaf is made up of walnuts and raisins. Obviously with such a high quantity of fruit this bread explodes with flavour. It’s a perfect companion to many cheeses. We particularly love the combination or pears, blue cheese and of course a slice of Paysan!

A mixture of 5 grains and 4 seeds for lovers of flavour. The seeds give a slight tang of flavour with each bite.. Bread that marries well with a fresh salad, jam or just thickly spread with butter for breakfast.

If you’re a bread lover, nothing beats the tangy taste and chewy texture of sourdough bread. From its hard crust to its soft interior, sourdough bread has a unique flavour that is hard to resist.

Rye Sourdough
Rye Sourdough
Discover the notes of toasted rye: a cool moist crumb with a dark thick crust, this rye bread is distinctive both in appearance and in taste. Great with charcuterie, butter and jam but for us at Belle Epoque we love to eat this with seafood and a homemade mayonnaise.

Olive bread
Olive bread
A wheat flour base full of olives and Provencal herbs. To be enjoyed alone, but if you must we can recommend a thick layer of tapenade.

Baguette grand siecle
Baguette grand siecle
Tradition attests to its higher quality level. What makes the Grand Siècle Campaillette is the craftsman that makes it. In life good things come to those who wait and our Grand Siecle Campaillette is no exception. The dough needs a slow and reassuring knead that helps preserve this loaf and like many good things a long rest is needed for the flavours and aromas to develop. Two of many important steps needed to make this bread so special. Campaillette Grand Siècle, the Great Name of Tradition!
