    • Discover Les Gâteaux de Pierrot, an unmissable address in Artalens-Souin, on the picturesque Hautacam road, where Pyrenean tradition comes to life through spit cakes made with passion and know-how.


      Artisanal know-how in the heart of the Pyrenees

      From his workshop nestled in Artalens-Souin, Pierre Lahille perpetuates the ancestral art of spit-baking. Trained under Bernard Laqueyrie, he took over the business in 2021, showcasing traditional wood-fired baking fueled by locally harvested wood. Each fir-tree-shaped cake is prepared with simple ingredients: flour, eggs, butter, and sugar, enhanced with rum, vanilla, and lemon flavors, offering a moist texture and authentic flavor.


      A living and friendly tradition

      The spit cake, a symbol of Pyrenean festivals, is made in a warm and friendly atmosphere. Pierre, accompanied by his team, makes around 40 kg of cakes per day in summer, perpetuating a tradition that dates back to the 19th century.


      Where to taste these delicacies?

      Find Les Gâteaux de Pierrot at local markets:

      You will also discover other artisanal specialties, such as Pyrenean blueberry pies, plain or with caramel.

    We stopped by chance on our way back from hiking in Hautacam, curious to finally discover these cakes that we had been seeing everywhere for a few days in the Pyrenees. A very warm welcome, a very pleasant tasting, we feel that values ​​​​and quality are the priority of Pierrot who took the time to explain his work to us. A very cool exchange and excellent products! Don't hesitate!!

    Stopped on our way back from hiking in the middle of the afternoon, the owner welcomed us warmly and took the time to explain everything about making these cakes and of course he let us taste them. The owner loves what he does. Everything is handmade with real products, all in the traditional way. Super pleasant owner and very good cake. The stop at Pierrot's factory is a must.
