Good plans : Bourgoin brioche: this 5-century-old delicacy was created in 1449 when future King Louis XI stayed in the city. To honour the dauphin, the bakers prepared a crown-shaped cake made with flour, milk, honey, eggs and leaven. Later, in the 19th century a Bourgoin baker decided to decorate his brioche with granules of red and white sugar, praline and sugared almonds. Now one of the symbols of Bourgoin-Jallieu, it is available in all the bakeries in the area.
