Originaire du village de Saint-Maximin au cœur de la Provence, Nans est tombé en amour avec la pâtisserie dès son plus jeune âge.

Après des études de pâtisserie au pied des collines de Provence, Nans a travaillé pendant 12 ans dans de prestigieuses institutions sur les rives de la Méditerranée.

Arrivé à Saint-Henri il y a plusieurs années, Nans a eu plusieurs expériences dans les plus grandes pâtisseries de Montréal. Le goût de l'entrepreneuriat et de faire découvrir la Pâtisserie Provençale à ses amis québécois, l'ont poussé à lancer son entreprise afin de leur faire vivre un instant en Provence.

Chef pâtissier, mais aussi glacier, chocolatier, confiseur, Alexis est un touche-à-tout qui met toute la palette de ses compétences au service du goût.

Avec plus de 10 ans d'expérience dans de prestigieux établissements français dans le sud de la France, Alexis est parti à la découverte du Québec et du quartier St-Henri à Montréal. À la tête d'une équipe d'une dizaine de personnes au sein d'un grand groupe de pâtisserie québecois, Alexis a mis tous ses talents pour faire découvrir de nouvelles saveurs.

Tenté par l'entreprenariat, il a rejoint Nans chez un Instant en Provence afin de faire découvrir la pâtisserie française au plus grand nombre.

it was incredible, I bought a croissant, a cookie & a baguette & they were all given to me warm & delicious. the food was fresh & some of the best pastries I've had in Montreal. It was a bit pricy but definitely worth it for what I got.

Great pastries & service, it absolutely never disappoints. Bonus for the Tropeziennes, it really tastes like the one you find in Provence.

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.

Been wanting to try this place for a while. I ordered a refreshing glass of fig lemonade & a pain au chocolat & aux amandes, which may have been one of the most decadent & delectable pastries I've EVER consumed. I ordered an assortment of patisserie to-go that I got a chance to sample which were very tasty & fresh.

I had also ordered a chocolate brioche in house which was a bit dry if I'm being honest, but the other pastries I ordered, along with the friendly service & comfortable atmosphere more than made up for it! I will no doubt be returning.

Heard really good things about this place so had to try it for myself. All the pastries we tried were so good. Super fresh & well made. The layers of the viennoisseries are super flaky with a lot of layers which is something I look for. The staff were super nice & welcoming. Wasn't super impressed by the coffee. Never been to Provence but it does seem like it can be a great introduction. Such a great find. Would definitely go back!

Unfortunately, it didn't match the expectations built based on most of the reviews here. Pain au chocolat is quite average, not flaky, butter flavour wasn't there. The only thing I liked about it was the chocolate used. There are way better croissants & pain au chocolat in Montreal. We liked the eclaire chocolat but it's over $7, not worth the price in our opinion. We also tried the tiramisu / chou which is over $8. It didn't taste like tiramisu & the chou was nothing special for the price paid. The coffee shop itself is nicely decorated, simple but cute. There are only 3-4 tables & the rest is a long bar with stools. Staff is welcoming & quick to get your order. On-street parking was easy to find & free. Overall, I'm not french but it didn't meet my expectations, one of the things I love about Montreal is the variety of great french pastries & boulangerie so I'm always open to try new places. Also, I found it to be overpriced.
