Info & Location
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.

Franchement déçus :( Pas tellement de choix sur place VS ce qu'on avait vu de la publication Instagram & ce n'est pas extraordinaire niveau goût... Pour couronner le tout c'est quand même cher (31$ pour 2 cafés, 2 pâtisseries & 1 baguette...). Un latte citrouille qui n'a pas le goût de citrouille... Peut-être que les viennoiseries valent le détour mais pour le reste bof bof.View more

Très belle pâtisserie aux saveurs raffinées de la France, avec une signature venue tout droit de la Provence, avec un excellent service ! J'ai beaucoup aimé la tarte au citron, la religieuse lavande citron, le flan vanille (dont la part pourrait être un peu plus grande 🙏), & le Saint-Honoré. Le chocolat chaud était particulièrement à mon goût & de manière générale, le sucre pas surdosé, ce qui m'a permis de manger plus & d'apprécier les différents goûts & saveurs :)View more
