“Last year we celebrated Bastille Day at the Newtown location of Mamie Colette,” said Christine Edmonds, the founder of A Love for Life. “This year we decided it would be fun to bring our friends and neighbors to an exciting new spot in Titusville – which is only a 17 minute drive from Newtown – Merci Isabelle et Chef Magali!”

Isabelle Noblanc and Chef Magali, who own Mamie Colette in Newtown Borough, opened L’Annexe de Mamie in mid-March, expanding their French bakery to both sides of the Delaware River.
“Many of us have been affected by cancer – this week’s partnership will be a perfect opportunity to visit our new space, try a Breton crêpe and fund research all at the same time,” said Isabelle.
The fundraiser will run through Sunday, May 19, similar to the dates of the official French
Feast of Brittany that is celebrated each year in Isabelle’s native Brittany – the birthplace of the crêpe.
