The Trip to Villa Epecuen - Buenos Aires province - Pigue - Best Medialunas in the Province

Upon Arriving in Pigue at 7am, we were bound to find a place to eat breakfast before we continued our Journey to Carhue. But of course everything was closed in a sleepy town on a Saturday morning.

Fortunatelly we stumbled upon a small bakery called " Le bon Pain" that was opening at 8am and was still baking its medias lunas, the argentine version of Croissants.

Besides being a fraction of the price that you pay in the city, they were the most delicious freshly baked Medialunas I ever had

 

The Trip to Villa Epecuen - Buenos Aires province - Pigue

I have to say I was surprised with the city of Pigue. Founded in 1884 by a group of 40 families from Aveyron, France in Land bought to a local Land ownwer.

Very atypical of the towns in the province of Buenos Aires, Pigue has a French charm in its people and architecture.

With its church featuring images of Saint Joan of Arc and saint Jean Baptiste, I found ita a sight for sore eyes after the 10 hour train ride.
