Clafoutis

Clafoutis (2004–present) is a six-issue series from the small French publisher Éditions de la Cerise, known for its quiet, slice-of-life vignettes set in a provincial patisserie. The series, most closely associated with writer-artist Marie Dupont, stands out for its gentle, observational humor and warm, watercolor art, capturing the rhythms of daily life and the relationships between a baker and her regulars. It matters as a charming, understated example of the European "bande dessinée" tradition, finding narrative richness in the smallest moments.
