About

Aux Merveilleux de Fred is a Parisian pastry boutique that champions the classic Flemish "Merveilleux" cake and an ever‑expanding repertoire of mini‑pastries, cramiques, waffles and other delicacies. Founded in 1982 by the renowned pâtissier Frédéric Vaucamps, the shop has become a destination for lovers of airy, melt‑in‑your‑mouth desserts that fuse traditional French techniques with a modern, playful twist. Visitors are treated to a living demonstration of pastry art: every cake, cramique and waffle is prepared “in front of your eyes” in the store’s open kitchen. From the light, mousse‑filled layers of the signature Merveilleux, to the buttery, chocolate‑chip‑laden cramiques and the fragrant, airy waffles in vanilla, brown‑sugar–rum (Vergeoise) and coffee, each bite is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship and quality ingredients that define the brand. The shop’s mise‑en‑place is warm and inviting, with an emphasis on artisanal tradition and a “made‑on‑site” ethos that has earned it a loyal following in Paris. Beyond its culinary delights, Aux Merveilleux de Fred offers a relaxed, family‑friendly setting where patrons can mix, dip or enjoy a pastry on the spot, or take a box home to share at any occasion. The shop’s friendly staff are always ready to explain the story behind each pastry, making it not just a place to eat, but a culinary experience that showcases the best of Flemish‑French pastry heritage.
