Marseille shuttles, or 'navettes', are delightful little pastries that have sailed their way into the hearts of many since the 18th century. Originally crafted by the nuns of the Abbey of Saint-Victor, these treats were designed to celebrate the feast of the Assumption. With a fragrant blend of orange blossom water and zest, each bite transports you straight to the sun-soaked streets of Marseille, where the scent of citrus wafts through the air like a warm Mediterranean breeze. Legend has it that these shuttles were shaped to resemble the boats that brought the first Christians to the shores of France. So, whether you're enjoying them with a cup of tea or simply indulging in their sweet, citrusy goodness, remember that each navette carries a slice of history along with its delightful flavor!
