What can you buy in a patisserie?

Answer:
Une pâtisserie is a shop specialised in selling pastries, cakes and desserts of various kinds. In our village the pâtissier also makes ice cream and desserts made with ice cream. There are three other shops that are bakeries (boulangeries) that mainly sell bread and viennoiserie (croissants, pains au chocolat etc) as well as fougace, pizzas and pissadalières. Elsewhere in France there are boulangeries-pâtisseries which sell cakes as well as bread.
