Few things are more delightful than French pastries. Fortunately, there’s a way to enjoy them without an expensive plane ticket to Paris. Simply head to MarieBette Café and Bakery in Charlottesville, Virginia, and prepare to be amazed by the selection of authentic French croissants, quiches, galettes, bread, and more. It’s a little slice of Paris hiding in central Virginia and you’ll want to visit ASAP. Even in a town known for its culinary wonders (we’re looking at you, Lampo, and C&O Restaurant), MarieBette holds a special place in our hearts. Consider yourself warned, though, because you’ll want to sample one of everything — we are speaking from experience here!
