The pain des amis and the pistachio-chocolate escargot
♦
“Possibly the most beautiful bakery in Paris — and the pain des amis lives up to the setting.”
Why we love it
Christophe Vasseur's bakery occupies a stunning 19th-century space with original painted ceilings. The escargot pistache-chocolat is famous for good reason, but the real star is the pain des amis — a slow-fermented sourdough with an impossibly crisp crust. Closed weekends, so plan accordingly.
