Founded in 2011, the Atelier de la crêpe is an international crepe maker training school for professionals and individuals in Saint-Malo. It is a place of meeting, greed and transmission where one expresses his attachment to the Breton heritage around the galette and the crepe. Since October 2018, under the impetus of Bertrand Larcher, founder of the Breizh Café restaurants in Japan, Brittany and Paris, the Atelier de la crêpe has been moored in the port of Saint-Malo, quai Duguay-Trouin, in the heart from the city.
