Bakeries
There are at least 8 bakeries in Lorgues.
Parking can be quite difficult in town so we tend to go to one in the row of shops at the bottom of Chemin de la Peirouard (just turn left out of the gates, then right at the dustbins over the hill and it is just before the main road).
Another good one is at the far end of Lorgues, called Les Climenes, which has parking next to it. Excellent tartes - which best id preordered. It’s just off the roundabout with the beehives on the route to Intermarché .
