Claude Debussy was born in Saint-Germain-en-Laye in 1862, near the shop on rue au Pain. It was there that Maison Grandin created in 1925, in memory of the musician, a small cake that took his name: the Debussy.

Pâtisserie Grandin, located on rue au Pain, has been delighting the residents of Saint-Germain since 1822. The Debussy is among its entremets, alongside the Saint-Germain and the Marly.
According to the tourist office, the Debussy is one of the typical desserts of Saint-Germain-en-Laye, alongside the Saint-Germain, created in 1920 by Monsieur Blanc, who worked in what is today Pâtisserie Hardy. The tourist office also mentions, under the same name, a soft cheese linked to Ferme Sainte-Suzanne, on rue au Pain: this is a different product.

Taste

The Debussy is enjoyed where it was born, at Maison Grandin on rue au Pain, just a stone's throw from where the composer came into the world.
