Miche 42 : Your exceptional artisan bakery

Miche 42 is an exceptional artisanal bakery located in the Haut-Richelieu region, between Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu and Venise-en-Québec, right in the heart of Lacolle, directly across from City Hall. This must-visit spot delights lovers of handmade bread and pastries, thanks to its artisanal expertise and the warm atmosphere created by its owner, Rodica.

A signature sourdough bread

Miche 42 specializes in sourdough bread, handmade with simple, natural ingredients. Each loaf is made using traditional methods, giving it a flavorful crust and a fragrant crumb. The display case features a wonderful variety of breads: Parmesan cheese loaf, walnut bread, cranberry and chocolate chip bread, rye flour bread, and many other creations that make you want to try them all.

Delicious pastries and baked goods

In addition to its breads, Miche 42 offers a generous selection of pastries and baked goods. Croissants, baguettes, macarons, and a variety of desserts are made on-site using local, seasonal ingredients. Some of the creations are truly unique, such as the pistachio-filled croissant, which perfectly exemplifies the shop’s originality and creativity.

Local products and homemade recipes

The bakery also showcases local agriculture through a range of regional products: honey, maple syrup, and specialties made with black garlic or elderberry. Jams, caramels, and spreads are made on-site, ensuring freshness and authenticity. Among the little treasures to discover, the garden rose jam stands out for its delicate fragrance.

A warm and welcoming experience every time you visit

What makes Miche 42 particularly charming is Rodica’s warm welcome; her accent and passion are infectious. Every visit becomes an opportunity to discover a specialty inspired by the local area or a faraway country, whether it’s a unique loaf of bread or an inventive pastry. Weekends are often enlivened by new gourmet offerings, announced in advance on Miche 42’s Facebook page, such as fresh focaccias available in limited quantities, for which it’s sometimes best to make a reservation.

Miche 42 is the perfect weekend getaway for those looking to treat themselves to artisanal, authentic products deeply rooted in the local region.
