    岡山市のちょっと外れにある洋菓子のアウトレット。大人気です。駐車場も広いです。土日は入るのに待たないといけないことも。 最近は東京でもスーパーやコンビニでドンレミーの商品を見かけます。 ただ、規格外商品を取り扱っているので格安でケーキやプリン、ロールケーキなどを買えます。家族4人分、数日もつほど買ってもせいぜい1000円台かと。普通に美味しいし、オススメです!

    "This French-style patissier has a wide variety of cookies and cakes. This shop stands out for its elegant exterior amidst a residential district a block off Kencho-dori Avenue, near to Kenchodori Station on the Okaden Higashiyama Line. The talented woman making all this learned French cooking at Daikanyama, Tokyo's IL PLEUT SUR LA SEINE. The shop is based on the concept of ""A place that gets your heart racing the second you step inside,"" and is filled with short cakes, cookies, quiches and other French baked goods. There is a cafe area inside, as well. They also hold regular cooking classes, to help spread the charms of French baking."

Okayama Areas

around-area-map

Overshadowed by Hiroshima to the west and the Kansai region to the east, Okayama is an easy spot to miss but a nature-rich gem where the Seto Inland Sea laps at its toes and peach and grape farms complete its interior. One of Japan’s Three Great Gardens, Koraku-en in Okayama city is well worth a visit before progressing to Kurashiki, where preserved wooden Edo buildings line the picturesque canal.
