*Did you know that canelés were first made by nuns of the Annonciades convent behind Ste Eulalie church in the 16th century? They used wheat fallen from ships at the harbor and egg yolks discarded by local wineries. With easy access to rum and vanilla from the islands through Bordeaux's bustling port, the nuns enriched their recipe, distributing the treats to the poor or selling them for profit.
