Paris: Boulangeries

During my Erasmus exchange period in Lille (for those who do not know, Erasmus is the European university exchange program), I had the opportunity to visit Paris many times, because it was close and as it is a city that I deeply love and that ravishes my heart every time.

Of course, at that time I did not have a particularly large budget, and, let's say that, Paris is not exactly a low-cost destination. However, I looked for the best solutions to be able to fully enjoy this wonderful city without having to spend a fortune.

The most surprising thing is, that I ended up having extraordinary experiences that I would not have had otherwise.
Here I have created a list of all the coolest free or low-cost activities I did in Paris, the hotel I stayed at, and the places I ate.

OLYMPIC GAMES : Your essential guide for Paris in 2024 🇫🇷

Paris is one of the great foodie destinations of the world, but unfortunately is home to a lot of eateries that are not worth your time. With this guide, you don't have to ever worry about having a bad meal in the French capital again. I have everything from bistrots and brasseries, a few tasting menus, bakeries, crêpes and coffee.

For the restaurants, try booking as far in advance as you can to make sure you can get a table there, as some of these places are quite popular and can be difficult to book.

The BEST Boulangeries in Paris 🥐 

This is a food map of where to get my favorite sweets and pastries from different bakeries in Paris. When I moved to here in 2015 as a nanny, I discovered the cultural activity called "gouté", which is what the french call the afternoon snack. For kids after school this looks like a pastry from the boulangerie, some chouquettes (in this guide), or chocolate wedged between a baguette. Basically anything baked and buttery with chocolate qualifies as a gouté. If you find yourself in Paris and want to partake in this cultural daily tradition, or just want to have some of the best baked goods you'll ever have IN YOUR LIFE, save this guide and check out the places below.

I’m amélie and I organize tours in paris since 2019 - @paris.districts
I love sharing my city and helping you step off the beaten path. 

🥖 Paris is a paradise for bread lovers. The city boasts around 1,200 bakeries. The average bread consumption in France is about 57 kg per year per person. This can vary depending on eating habits, but bread remains a staple food in the French diet

And if you ask a French person living abroad what they miss most about France, they’ll probably answer: the bread and the cheese :)

I’m sharing here my favorite bakeries, which I visit regularly. I want to emphasize that this list is personal and not exhaustive, I will update it as I make new discoveries

Du Pain et des Idées

This charming bakery in the 10th arrondissement is beloved by locals and visitors alike. Famous for its rustic decor and artisanal pastries, it offers classic French breakfast options like pain au chocolat and their signature escargot (a spiral-shaped pastry) with flavors like pistachio, praline, and chocolate. Grab a few pastries and enjoy a peaceful breakfast by the nearby Canal Saint-Martin.


As you enter Du Pain et Des Idées, you're envolped by  a sea of baked goods and pastries. The selection spans from classic croissants to rustic loaves, each a testament to artisanal craftsmanship and quality ingredients. Don't miss their unique creation, the Pain au Chocolat Banane, a delightful fusion of flavours that showcases their culinary ingenuity.

Creators of one of, if not the most famous pain au chocolat in Paris, the hype around Du Pain et des Idées is well deserved. A short walk away from the Canal Saint-Martin, there are few things more enjoyable than grabbing a couple of viennoiseries and going to have your breakfast right by the water in the summertime. 

🥖 It's definitely my favorite bread in Paris. "Le pain des amis" has a quite unique smoky flavor that you won't find anywhere else. No wonder there's often a line in front of the shop—be patient, it's worth it ! 

❤️ Le pain des amis 
❤️ La niflette ( orange blossom small pies) 

Beautiful old world setting with delicious breakfast pastries.  We especially like their flavored escargot rolls, like the cinnamon, rum raisin and npistachio flavors.  Antoine says theirs is the best chocolate croissant he ever had.

You will most likely have to wait in like here but it's worth it. If it's your first time and you like pistachio definitely try the escargot pistache-chocolat (spiral flaky pastries with chocolate and pistachio folded in).

Located in the Canal Saint-Martin neighborhood, this bakery is celebrated for its traditional and inventive breads and pastries. Their iconic "escargot" pastries and buttery croissants are particularly beloved.

The same goes for those tightly spiraled escargots filled with chocolate and pistachio, or lemon and honeyed, nut-dense nougat

Ambiance: Boulangerie with minimal outdoor seating.

My recommendation: Escargot croissants

*it is closed on the weekends* 

a local bakery that was nearby where I was staying during my last trip and so glad I stopped here for breakfast. 

Easily one of the best french bakeries in Paris for trying everything you possibly can get your hands on.
