Best pastry places (patisseries) in Paris
One of the best (worst?) sins where you are in Paris is going to pastries because you can never know how many of these delicious little things you are going to buy and no need to tell, how much weight you are going to gain as well.
Here is a selection of six places to die for.
Fauchon: Prices are expensive but the inventories are fascinating. The year was 1886 when Fauchon's first store opened its doors to sell Parisians some of the same delicacies you'll still find there today.
Lenôtre: The pastries are perfect, the cakes immaculate and the breads, fresh and irresistible. Admittedly, it’s heavy but what a sinfully tasty treat.
Pierre Hermé: He is a French pastry chef that Vogue called "the Picasso of Pastry". It’s funny knowing that Pierre Hermé began his career at the age of 14 as an apprentice to Gaston Lenôtre. Did the student surpass the master?
La Maison du Chocolat: One of the premier Paris chocolatiers thanks to its combination of luxe ingredients and decadent but never cloying chocolate, Maison du Chocolat offers as big as tennis ball chocolate macaron.
La Durée: Ladurée is a luxury cakes and pastries brand based in Paris, France. It is known as the inventor of the double-decker macaron (sticking two macaron shells together with a creamy ganache as filling), fifteen thousand of which are sold every day.
Dalloyau: Everything in Dalloyau is luxury personified. The pastries are works of art, each tasting even better than it looks. Forget the calories!
Lenôtre: The pastries are perfect, the cakes immaculate and the breads, fresh and irresistible. Admittedly, it’s heavy but what a sinfully tasty treat.
