And that’s precisely what I did. Here is my list of the best French desserts and bakeries you should definitely visit on your trip to Paris.
Article with the map: www.timetodessert.com/blog/the-best-french-dessert…
Choux à la crème at Popelini (2.4€) - Popelini opened in 2011, and it took its name after the Popelini the Italian pastry chef who worked for the queen Catherine de Medicis and invented the choux pastry. Rich with flavor and made with handcrafted ingredients. It changed my life forever!
Chocolate Brioche at Aux Merveilleux de Fred (3.6€) - When you enter the Aux Merveilleux de Fred you instantly know that you are at the right place. The smell is just fantastic. These giant brioches are so fluffy and delicious that I wish they start making pillows like this soon.
Croissant & Pain au chocolat at La Maison d’Isabelle (1€ and 1.2€) - La Maison d’Isabelle is the winner of Best Croissant in Paris 2018, and there is a reason for that. The best croissant and pain au chocolate I ever had! Just listen to that crunch!
Mille-feuille at Carl Marletti (7€) - Carl Marletti was a long walk from my Airbnb but well worth it. You tell just from peeking through the window that these people take their desserts seriously. The specialty is the Vanilla Mille-feuille (‘thousand-leaf’), and it was spectacular.
Chocolate-Pistachio Escargot at Du Pain et Des Idées (3.6€) - is a spiral pastry often eaten for breakfast in France. Its name translates as the snail. It is a member of the pâtisserie viennoiserie family of baked foods. The bakery is run by a passionate baker, Christophe Vasseur who went from fashion industry sales executive to THE Baker. The bakery is famous not only for its excellent bread and pastries but for its exquisite interior from 1889 as well.
Paris-Brest at Jacques genin (12€) - This was one of the most expensive desserts I tried in Paris, but it was also one of the best Paris-Brest’s I ever tried. There are no desserts on display. You can order from the menu, and they will be freshly-prepared for you on order. Excellent.
Eclairs at L’Eclair de Genie (5.9€) - You can’t visit Paris and not try Eclairs. One of the best places in Paris to get your eclairs is L’Eclair de Genie or ‘Genius eclair’. They are opened since 2012 and have now 4 shops around central Paris.
Macarons at Ladurée (2.1€) - And last but not least you need to try some macarons. One of the best places to try macaron Is Ladurée. Ladurée is the world’s best-known premier seller of macarons. They have a 157-year history and sell over 15000 macarons every day.

French bakeries are amazing. It's funny how the high end ones look like jewelry shops.

May God bless you eternally for putting the name AND the price in the description box

French bakery patisseries are the best in the whole world

The wife of one of our ambassadors to the U.K. was once asked what she thought was the best thing about London. She replied, "Paris". Certainly that was not at all diplomatic and perhaps her husband wasn't reappointed, but, on enjoying this wonderful glimpse into a world of Gallic gastronomic perfection, can one doubt her? Thank you for inviting the world to tag along.

Hi from Malaysia. Waiting for this pandemic to end and gead over to Paris :) thanks for showcasing these great dessert places in Paris!

Great video, but you missed one essential pastry: the Canelé. (Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, with notes of vanilla and rum). You should definitely try canelés the next time you’re in Paris (or Bordeaux, where they come from).

Feels like spend my entire month salary just eating dessert in 6 mins

Thank you so much for this episode! It is so wonderful to see such awesome pastries and shops! Keep traveling!

As a french living abroad, the one I always miss the most is chausson aux pommes et tartelette au citron. You showed things for tourists (ex: macarons). French people eat other things.

As a french, my favorit is MILLE FEUILLES !!!
