Where To Find French Style Pastry On Providenciales
After snorkeling, kayaking, swimming or any of the other amazing things to do on Providenciales, you’ll probably have a good appetite. As well as a collection of top notch eateries, the island features some of the best pastry shops that will more than satisfy any hankering for heavenly breads.
Situated in the Graceway Plaza, about a twelve minute walk from Villa del Mar is Crust Bakery.
