Maison Meert, Historical pastry shop in Lille, France

The building displays neoclassical architecture with a four-story facade featuring marble, copper elements, and gilded decorations at 27 Rue Esquermoise.

Established in 1761, the confectionery received classification as a historical monument in 1980 following renovations by architect Charles Benvignat in 1839.

The establishment maintains traditional recipes, including its signature vanilla-filled waffles made with Madagascar vanilla, attracting customers from multiple generations.

The location includes a ground-floor shop selling pastries and chocolates, while the upper floor houses a tea room for immediate consumption.

The basement contains a museum displaying 5,000 pieces of confectionery equipment dating back to the 17th century.
