Macarons, creme brûlée and chocolate eclairs: Paris is the place to go for the world's best patisseries!! With so many prestigious patisseries present in the capital, choosing where to indulge can be a challenge. You’ll find that most pastry shops in Paris have certain areas of expertise, and are often known for a specific type of pastry. It’s not uncommon for Parisians to visit one pastry shop to get a box of macarons, and then travel across the city to buy their éclairs at another place!
Whilst I have not managed to indulge in all of these amazing patisseries over my five day stay in Paris, I have certainly tasted some out of this world desserts and pastries. My favourite by far would have to be Josephine's Bakery (69 ave Marceau Champs-Elysées) which I found by accident. The chocolate eclairs were to die for and the shop displayed a large selection of freshly baked breads, salads and desserts.
Saint-Germain Des Pres would have to contain the the largest selection of patisseries. I would recommend a trip within the Latin Quarters (in particular Beauvale Street) and indulging at:
1. Fromager
2. La Parisienne
3. Hippopotamus
