In the last couple of years, I have seen some videos from Boulangeries in Paris that I had to visit at some point. So this weekend was the time. I reviewed these videos (random<\/a>, Luis<\/a>, Joshua<\/a>) to make a list and see how many I could visit. Honestly, Joshua video is the best (and longest) and gives you so many sites to visit. Luis video is the funniest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What surprised me from Paris since my last visit: There are a lot of bike lines!!!! How many churches are in Berlin compared with Paris, so many kiosks with paper magazines…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These two boulangeries were closed for winter holidays! A bit disappointed because the references were really good: Du pain et des idees<\/strong><\/em> and La Maison D’isabelle<\/strong> <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Friday, I tried “Liberte<\/strong><\/em>“: cheese baguette for lunch and an almond croissant. The croissant was well filled and tasty. Then I went later to La Panifacture<\/strong><\/em> and tried a croissant and Pain aus Suisse. They were really delicious !!! The outside form of the croissant was perfect. Lacked a bit of butter for my taste. The filling of the Pain aus Suisse was suprising: cream and chocolate chips. The whole Friday afternoon\/night was raining (not hard). I spent several hours outside so I hope I burned some calories from the pastries<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Satuday morning, I went early to Cedric Grolet<\/strong><\/em>, as there are always queues. I knew it was going to be expensive and a bit of hype. I bought a “flower of passion fruit and coconut” and Pain aus Suisse. The Pain was really big, supper flaky, super tasty, and expensive, but worth it for once a year\/s. The “flower” was not really sweet, that surprise me, the form was astonishing. Flavour wise I only tasted a bit the passion fruit. This is not the place to go every day for a croissant (or you have more money than sense). It was an experience. Then I went for a long walk until my slot in Musee D’Orsay. After that I walk up to the hotel and stopped in “Tout Autour du pain<\/strong><\/em>” for a croissant and a baguette. The croissant was a bit more buttery than La panifacture, and the form\/look was not as perfect, but still really good. The baguette was tasty too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Sunday, I went for breakfast to “Maison Bayat<\/em><\/strong>” I tried a croissant, pain aus suisse and a pain aus raisins (6\u20ac something). Very tasty all of them. The pain aus suisse was the smaller of all I tried but still crunchy, buttery and the cream\/choco filling delicious. The croissant was very buttery, warm and flaky, the form not as perfect, but didnt really care. The pain aus raisin felt juicy and still warm. Then I went to climb as I was tired of walking. After climbing I bought a big piece of bread in “Ernest & Valentin<\/strong><\/em>” I tried and it was good, it had some walnuts and raisins, something I would like to avoid but didnt know when ordered (learn French mate!) And in my last stroll, I stopped in “The French Bastards<\/em><\/strong>“, it seems it is a chain. I tried a croissant and pain aus raising and to be honest, compared with all others they were the less good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In summary, I enjoyed good pastries and bread, contemplate great art and walk around without much goals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
