Originating from the village of Saint-Maximin in the heart of Provence, Nans fell in love with pastry from a young age.
After studying pastry at the foot of the hills of Provence, Nans worked for 12 years in prestigious establishments on the shores of the Mediterranean.
Having arrived in Saint-Henri several years ago, Nans gained various experiences in Montreal's finest pastry shops. The taste for entrepreneurship and the desire to introduce Provençal pastry to his Quebec friends led him to launch his own business to give them a taste of Provence.
As a pastry chef, but also an ice cream maker, chocolatier, and confectioner, Alexis is a jack-of-all-trades who puts his full range of skills at the service of taste.
With over 10 years of experience in prestigious French establishments in the south of France, Alexis set out to discover Quebec and the Saint-Henri neighborhood in Montreal. Leading a team of about ten people within a large Quebec pastry group, Alexis used all his talents to introduce new flavors.
Enticed by entrepreneurship, he joined Nans at "Un Instant en Provence" to introduce French pastry to as many people as possible.

cozy place
the chai pear pastry was unfortunately super duper sweet, on the other hand i tasted the chai & the pear.
la mille feuille was good
A little cozy place for having a delicious coffe with a pastry. We love it! Highly recommend.
The best pastry shop in MTL! Everything is tasty from the éclaire, to the meringue au citron, the crème brûlée & the coffee! They also have fresh squeezed orange juice! The place is aesthetically nice & the staff is friendly! :)
A neighborhood pastry shop serving good coffee drinks too. Dine in available also.
We were recomended this place as'the best bakery in Montreal' & while im not sure it deserves that title, it was pretty good. The atmosphere was really nice with lots of natural lighting, real plants, & well palced decor that worked with their theme. The staff was super friendly & since we didnt know what to get they gave a few recomendations. The chocolate pastry was flaky & light & decently fresh. I usually like the pastries that are a bit chewy or carmelized so maybe I should have gotten something else but it was still pretty good overall.
Delicious pastry shop. Strong, quality coffee, excellent service. Strong wifi & ambiance. Truly a great pastry shop/cafe. I came on a Tuesday & it was perfect pace, but too busy but still some others working around me I felt inspired. I got a decaf americano & a suisse pastry. The pastry so so good. It was like a sweetened savory one but in a good way with good balance in flavor...a bit pricey around 8 dollars for one, but was good. The decaf americano was also good. They also make a homemade chai. It's subtly sweet & spicy, good drink as well. Highly recommend!

Ce petit bijou est un délice. C'est à environ 35 minutes de chez moi & ça vaut toujours le détour. Les pâtisseries & les plats sont toujours frais & délicieux. De plus, le service est vraiment sympathique ! J'y suis allé 5 à 7 fois ces deux derniers mois & presque tous les clients que j'ai croisés repartent avec le sourire, ce qui est très bon signe.
This little gem is a delight. The pastry & food are always fresh & delicious. Plus, the service is super friendly! I've been here 5-7 times in the last couple of months almost every person I've seen come in leaves smiling, so that's a very good sign. It is about 35 mins away from my home & always worth the trip.
Lovely place for a coffee & a pastry or a quick lunch. Their baguette is amazing, the tuna sandwich is delicious & the vegan pastries are unbelievable. Highly recommend!
This pastry is my favorite in Montreal. I really recommend it 🥐.
Very cozy pastry shop in Saint Henri. I got a pain au chocolat with almonds & my partner got a passionfruit mango cake, both were very tasty. Nice atmosphere inside, would definitely come back here again!
Fantastic spot for some delicious coffee, fresh handmade pastry & a wonderful atmosphere. Highly recommend!
Wonderful Pâtisserie! Definitely stop by here if you love a good pastry

New found favorite local pastry store. Pain au chocolat, pain au raisin... The best. The chocolate used in the pastries taste phenomenal. Sweet & tasty, with a great crunchy exterior & soft buttery interior. Pain au raisin is also amazing. Give it a try. Thanks for the great pastries!
