Le Marais, Ménilmontant & Belleville
Traditional treats such as pains au chocolat (chocolate-filled pastries) sit alongside innovations like 'cruffins' (a cross between croissants and muffins) and pains au cinnamon (snail-shaped cinnamon scrolls) at this young and fun, thoroughly modern lifestyle bakery with sofa, books to browse, coffee machine and a single shared table. Fantastic sandwiches include Italian charcuterie with Corsican cheese.
Watch the bakers at work inside or through the viewing window on rue de Nemours.
