Our story
A Breton pastry shop that became Chenonceaux’s table
Chapter I
1947
A pastry chef from Lorient
After his hometown was bombed, Mr Girault, a pastry chef from Lorient in Brittany, settled in the Loire Valley. In Chenonceaux he opened “Au Gâteau Breton”, a pastry shop and tea room he ran for over twenty years.
Chapter II
40 years
A family affair
The Herembert family took over and, from father to son, turned it into a traditional restaurant for more than forty years.
Chapter III
Today
O’GB, Nicolas & Teddy
Philippe Herembert handed over to Nicolas, the chef, and Teddy, friends in the trade for over ten years. Their menu: local produce, everything home-made, and a genuine love of hosting.
“Of all the arts, the culinary art is the one that best feeds its man.”
