| Doesn't it look yummy? |
Most boulangeries offer a wide selection of delicious treats and usually they are not that expensive. There are those expensive hard to believe it's not plastic macarons or mousse au chocolat, delicious (why am I spending 100 euros) cakes from Laudrée and Dalloyau. These places are great for a one-time per year visit otherwise I would be broke.
For those who are a little tight on the belt, can find some delicious cakes for 30 euros in the neighborhood boulangerie. Like my birthday cake, it was chocolate and opera cream with a little bit of yellow cake. It was yummy and was gone within a few days. Also, for a quick breakfast pick up pain au chocolat and pain aux raisins for the whole gang under 10 euros, some places have cool deals like 15 for 10 euros.
Boulangeries to stop by:
- M° 4 St. Sulpice - Name Unknown - It has black decorations outside and there is bound to be a line @ noon, for the lunch crowd. Sandwiches to try: ham and cheese, tuna. Dessert : amande chocolat (like a pancake with chocolate and almonds), palmier
- M°4 St. Sulpice - Poilâne - A very famous bread shop, I once had one of their breads that was like sandwich bread, it was so good. A very different taste from the typical French baguette
- Paul - Depends on what time you go, sometimes the selection is good and sometimes it is not good. Right before lunch hour you will be able to linger over what you want, but when the lunch bell dings no lingering is allowed!
- Banette - same thing as Paul, these are found all over the cities, just depends on the time
- M° Olymipiades - Rue de Tolbiac the second one on the right - their tuna sandwiches are really good and you can pair it with the pastry of your choice and the menu price is only 5,60! how cool is that!
- any boulangerie that has a long line is sure to have good pastries and sandwiches
