PARIS FOR FOODIES

Enjoy some “tres jolie” days walking around the Parisian streets and boost up your energy level 🔋 with some coffee just after/before a “little” shopping spree.
This list includes many of the city’s cafes (Paris is now a specialty coffee - and pastry - capital) and all the good spots to shop something that will surely indulge all of your needs/senses (main focus on French brands). 
💡Be sure to check the vintage selling gems spreaded all over Paris!!!

💰 By the way, massive sales happen twice a year in France: in July and January. Called “les soldes” in French, the sales normally last around four weeks and the discounts increase as the weeks pass. 
Even if you don’t catch the sales, designer shops give you the opportunity of buying small accesories (keychains for example), leather goods (belts, gloves, card holders, passport covers, etc) or scarves/caps/ties - even umbrellas, which make for exceptional souvenirs. 
Perhaps you can even get the chance of seeing the “art of making” a product in the workshop/workroom of the artisans.
     Plus, visiting the shopping venues could turn into an amazing experience as many of them are soooo Instagrammable!

Highlights:
🥐 Croissant - is a buttery, flaky, viennoiserie pastry inspired by the shape of the Austrian kipferl but using the French yeast-leavened laminated dough. Croissants are named for their historical crescent shape. The modern croissant seems to have been created by the French chef Sylvain Claudius Goy.
🥖 Baguette - is a long, thin type of bread of French origin that is commonly made from basic lean dough (the dough, though not the shape, is defined by French law). It is distinguishable by its length and crisp crust.
🧀 Fromage de France - there are more than 1,000 kinds of cheese in France! Being in Paris is being in the Ville des Fromages, the City of Cheese. Some of the most known: Camembert, 
Brie de Meaux, Roquefort, Reblochon, Munster, Pont l'Évêque, Époisses de Bourgogne, Comté. 
Tip: go for a “cheese and wine” tasting.
🐌 Escargot - any of several species of edible land snails, a delicacy of French cuisine. Although the snails eaten as escargots are terrestrial, they are technically mollusks and therefore classified as seafood.
🍷 French wine - France is one of the largest wine producers in the world.  Red wines from grape varieties like Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Zinfandel. Rosé wines like the Provençal rosé and the sweet White Zinfandels. White wines like a Chardonnay, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, or a Moscato. Sparkling wines from Champagne and Vouvray.

Paris | Best Boulangerie & Pastry Shops

Cédric Grolet Opéra

Make a reservation if you want to enjoy the cafe. Otherwise, just stand in line...the LONG line...the enjoy Cédric Grolet's masterpieces. Seasonal fruits, amazing viennoisserie and some of the most beautiful goodies you'll ever see or taste. It's $$$$, so prepare to go broke. I did eat the most amazing fig tarte that I've ever had. It almost made me cry.

Is this the best bakery in Paris? 
From Wednesday to Sunday, the shop opens its doors at 9.30 am with the first batch of pastries and then the sandwich of the day at 12 noon. The shop has 40 seats on the first floor and welcomes you for your breakfasts, lunches, snacks. Pastries are also available to take away. Doors close at 6pm.

Probably one of the best Patissiers in Paris and also the most expensive. We tried the Raspberry Tart and it was awesome. This shop feels more like a jewelry store than a Patisserie.

The lines can be rather long but if you appreciate delicate life-like entremets shaped like strawberries etc. it's worth the wait. I tried the strawberry and really enjoyed it. 

if you're lucky you will get to try the most famous desserts in Paris on tiktok 🤣 
be ready to pay more than you would in local pastry shops 

Cedric Grolet has quickly become renowned as one of Paris's top pastry shops, especially for their unbeatable croissants. 

Very famous boulangerie by a chef known for his skills to recreate realistic fruit like patisserie.
