French Riviera (La Tropézienne) Bakery is set to turn up the heat in Downtown Las Vegas with a hot new opening. According to a City of Las Vegas permit, the French Riviera is expected to open at 401 S 6th St.
Owner Franck Khalifa confirmed the opening in a conversation with What Now Las Vegas, but was unable to share more details by the time of this publication. However, Khalifa mentioned that work on the new eatery was underway, so we suspect the new French Riviera will open this summer.
Its companion Vegas Valley shop sits on Cimmarron. There’s also a location in Henderson.
“The French Riviera Bakery is a lot more more than just another French bakery in Henderson & Las Vegas,” The French Riviera website reads.
“Sure, we want our clients to experience the best of what French baking has to offer. But we also worked to bring the American culture into our French pastries. Cinnamon Rolls, cream-filled Croissants, Kit Kat Chocolate Croissants, Pistachio Rolls, and many other unique & innovative desserts are waiting for you!”
The space where the new bakery will live was once home to the famous French eatery, André’s. In 1980, legendary chef André Rochat opened the eatery. It became a cornerstone of the Vegas culinary scene before closing on New Year’s Eve in 2008.
Now, in its own way, the French Riviera (La Tropézienne) Bakery is reviving the old feelings associated with the space, bringing authentic sweet treats and eats to the area.
