ST. HONOR? KICKS OFF TOUR DE FRANCE COVERAGE WITH BENEFIT FOR COMMUNITY

CYCLING CENTER ON JULY 2nd

Refreshing summertime sparkling cider and new Canelet pastry; Bastille

Day Festivities on July 14



PORTLAND, Oregon (June 21, 2005) ? St. Honor? will once again pay

tribute to the annual French cycling race, Tour de France and collect

bikes for low-income youths and adults. Cycle or stroll down to the

bakery on Saturday, July 2nd starting at 6 a.m. and watch the live

coverage and enjoy new summer tastes. St. Honor? will continue to

broadcast live coverage throughout the three-week race. Also on July

2nd, the Community Cycling Center and St. Honore?s own women?s cycling

team, Sorella Forte, will collect used bicycles for the center?s bicycle

education programs. CCC reconditions the bikes for use in bicycle

education programs throughout Portland and Vancouver. Jonathan Nicholas,

Oregonian columnist and founder of Cycle Oregon, will be on hand to help

collect bicycles. For more information, visit

?Tour de France is a national event in France,? says Dominique Geulin,

owner of St. Honor? Boulangerie. ?We added the 1st annual Bike Drive

this year to help children to own a bike and participate in this healthy

pastime.?



Sipping Cider

Dominique Geulin makes sure everything at the bakery is authentic ?

right down to the baking oven and utensils. Brut Manoir Du Parc

sparkling cider from the Cotentin region of Normandy is now available

for a refreshing summertime beverage to pair with light salads. At St.

Honor?, the cider is served cold in the traditional bol?e or bowl



A Tasty Treat from Bordeaux

Canelet, a traditional treat from the Bordeaux region of France will be

available this summer at St. Honor?. Invented in the 16th century by the

nuns of the Annonciades convent, this sweet custard cake is baked in a

copper tin heavily coated with melted beeswax. The beeswax hardens and

gives the canelet the perfect crunchy crust. Canelet is made with whole

milk, eggs, sugar and flour?and a touch of vanilla bean and rum.



Bastille Day at the Bakery

Like every good French citizen, Dominique and his family celebrate the

fall of the Bastille every year on July 14th. This year the bakery will

celebrate with live accordion music, festive decorations and children?s

activities.
