The pastry is a specialty in Rennes and is a barbarian word that is pronounced nothing like its orthography: kouign amann. But it's made with nothing but flour, sugar, and butter so I tried it.
1,80 euro bought a small pastry that was something like an extra buttery croissant with a sugar glaze. In a word, it was delicious.
I told the tour guide I could have eaten a dozen of them and still wanted more. She responded that I should have, that I have one of those famous frames Christian Dior referred to as an hericots verts, a green bean. It was a compliment. I think.
