Traveler Reviews

Informative. The guide was friendly and showed us many aspects of the bakery but it is not an interactive tour

We enjoyed learning about the bakeries and especially the rules regarding baguettes. Wish we could have worked with some dough and produced our own baguettes but our guide was informative and interesting and we did get bread and croissants. Just a nice alternative to a museums tour.

Eating hot bread out of the oven was amazing. We loved learning how to shape the dough and the ingredients we would need to try to make our own. Great experience!

An excellent view of a working french bakery. From yeast to flour to rising dough- 24 hours for a proper baguette. Then watching how the dough is rolled and cooked.Then a tour downstairs where the patisseries are made along with specialist items. And all sparkingly presented by a knowledgeable lady who filled in many details. And the staff were so welcoming. Despite a 3am start. An excellent time and a really good tour- well worth it.

We did a behind the scenes bakery visit. It was a very small bakery, you could see a bit of how they do the baguette and very little about patisserie. You can see only what they are doing at the moment, so when we were there there was not much to see. They were not doing croissants only some little puffs. They gave us to taste a piece of baguette and a small piece of cake.To take with us they gave us a cold baguette and a cold croissant, nothing just from the oven. The tour was less than 45 mins. The guide was nice though. Overall, too expensive for the experience, I will not reccomend it.

We do bake bread in our home and aspire to bake croissants. This tour was very informative. We saw the bakers applying various techniques. We learned a lot about the life of a baker. The tour was at a highly rated bakery and the tour guide also was a trained baker. What we saw was artisans doing what they love to do. We also were given baguettes and croissants to enjoy in our apartment.

Do not take this tour expecting you be able to make bakery items. This is more of how the store makes things from scratch. The kitchen was very compact and there were only four people in our group; us, the tour guides and the staff had to figure out how to maneuver around each other. Learned a few things about how bread is cooked but would have loved a more in-depth, hands on experience. The gratis bread and croissant gift we good. Our guides were nice. We left a bit disappointed. Make sure to wear clothes you can get flour on and non-skid shoes: floor was VERY slippery!

Our tour guide was prompt and very friendly. He answered lots of our questions and interpreted any answers from the bakers for us. The boulangerie staff was very friendly too and tried to explain their processes and answer our questions with the help of the tour guide. The bread baker let us make the release cuts in our own baguettes that we were given to take home. We were also given a croissant and a pastry sample.

Compliance status

Screen-reader and keyboard navigation.

• Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
• Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

These 10 Bakeries Are the Only Ones You Need to Visit in Paris

If you don’t believe in heaven on earth, you clearly haven’t stepped inside a Parisian bakery.  Whether you’re there for the bread, croissants, pastries, or all off the above, boulangeries have the power to change your life, or at the very least, to make your trip to the City of Lights a memorable one.

But when your stay in the French capital is limited, it’s only natural that you just want to make time for the best bakeries in Paris. Look no further: these six splendid establishments are the only ones you need to visit!

La Maison d’Isabelle

A must-go for all bread and pastry lovers, La Maison d’Isabelle isn’t just known to make some of the tastiest, freshly baked baguettes in the city, the owners have also recently won an award for best croissants in Paris !

That’s two excellent reasons to stop by this acclaimed boulangerie after a stroll along the River Seine or around the quaint streets of the Latin Quarter.

Boulangerie Utopie

Do perfect places exist? When it comes to bakeries, anything is possible!

The best example is the aptly-named Utopie , which offers bread of superb quality at affordable prices.

Don’t let the line of locals deter you from tasting their scrumptious-looking products. The staff is highly efficient, and you’ll be grateful for the extra time to take your pick from the amazing range of products on offer.

Our favorites: the charcoal baguette and the apple turnovers!

Chambelland

Since 2014, Chambelland has been bringing happiness to all glute n-free eaters in Paris.

In order to bring their project of an entirely wheat-free bakery to life, the owners had to build their own mill and produce their own flour from ingredients such as rice, buckwheat or millet.

Chambelland isn’t just a dream-come-true for bread eaters. Here, dessert lovers can choose from a great selection of cookies, pound cakes, tarts and tartlets too.

Boulangerie 2M

If good bread is what makes a good bakery, then 2M is just the best boulangerie in Paris!

In 2018, baker and owner Mahmoud M’Seddi was awarded the top prize for best baguette in the French capital.

For the purpose of the competition, bread quality is assessed by a jury according to various criteria, including crust, crumb, and taste. This way, you can be sure that the baguettes you get in 2M will be crispy, airy, and truly delicious.

Laurent Duchêne

Known as one of the best craftsmen and bakers in the city (and with the title to prove it), Laurent Duchêne owns two boulangeries in Paris, in the 13th and 15th arrondissements. Whichever you decide to visit, don’t leave without trying the heavenly chocolate croissants, and save a little room for some of the best macarons in Paris.

La Gambette à Pain

Located in the heart of the 20th arrondissement, La Gambette à Pain offers delectable bread and baked treats to suit every mood.

Their traditional baguettes are perfect to serve with lunch. The more adventurous will want to try the pumpkin bread or some of the unusual creations that reflect the seasons and market.

And, for a special treat, the orange blossom brioche won’t leave anyone indifferent!

Eric Kayser

Now part of a worldwide movement, the exquisite treats found at any of the Maison Kayser or Eric Kayser locations had their inception in the trendy Latin Quarter of Paris. 

The baking baron Eric Kayser was obsessed with creating top-quality products for his customers, and we can say that he has achieved it! 

Whether you go for a masterfully constructed strawberry tart to a traditional baguette you will be onto a winner.

A charming bakery with a warm and inviting atmosphere, Mamiche has all you need and more.

With locations in the 9th and 10th arrondissement this fairly recent addition to the elite bakery scene has been able merge the traditional with more eclectic culinary options. From pain au chocolate’s to babka’s, all are made with skill and most importantly, love.

Le Pain Retrouve

Another treasure trove of great bread and pastries for reasonable prices is Le Pain Retrouve .

If the sight of their mouthwatering quiches don’t convince you to part with your cash, their cookies and crossaints will.  Get to the 9th arrondissement and find out for yourself!

Boulangerie MieMie

A goute is the french word for that sweet treat we all crave towards the end of the afternoon to accompany your tea or coffee. Now if you are in Paris and want to do it right, then Boulangerie MieMie is a must. 

Always with some new delightful dish on display, this picturesque boulangerie is definitely worth the trip. 

Can you smell the heavenly bread and pastries yet? If you suddenly find yourself with an unshakeable craving for French baked goods, check out our  Paris Pastry and Chocolate Tour. We hope you’re hungry!

Share All sharing options for: LA’s Most Ambitious New French Bakery Arrives in Santa Monica Soon

Two of Los Angeles’s most talented bakers, Clémence de Lutz ( the Gourmadise School ) and Tony Hernandez (Bread Lounge, Friends & Family, Dough Box), are teaming up to open a new bakery in Santa Monica. Located at 1209 Wilshire Boulevard, Petit Grain Boulangerie is set to debut on Wednesday, May 1, in the former Broadway Baker space, which closes this Saturday, April 13.

Set in a 900-square-foot space, Petit Grain Boulangerie will serve a tightly focused menu of laminated pastries (croissants, pain au chocolate, Danishes), hand pies, cookies, quiches, sandwiches, and pan loaves. Plans to offer sourdough-style bread are slated for the future, along with New York-style pizzas served on Friday and Saturday evenings. Precise technique and careful ingredient sourcing will make Petit Grain Boulangerie stand out in Los Angeles’s crowded bakery scene.

“Twenty percent of the total amount of flour that we use will be locally sourced and milled. Our fruits and vegetables will all come from the Santa Monica farmers market,” de Lutz tells Eater. Additionally, the bakery’s chocolate will be traceable and ethically sourced. Petit Grain Boulangerie will be open Wednesday through Sunday and will operate mainly for takeout given its small footprint.

Taco lovers unite

L.A. Taco’s Taco Madness is happening this Saturday, April 13 at the LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes in Downtown (501 N. Main Street Los Angeles, CA 90012). The 15th annual event starts at 6 p.m. and will celebrate the city’s incredible taco scene with 12 taquerias serving their best tacos. The day’s best-in-show winner, as well as the results of the online Taco Madness tournament, will be announced at the event’s conclusion. Tickets are available here .

Viet-Cajun seafood soiree

Echo Park’s the Lonely Oyster is teaming up with East Hollywood’s Bé Ù for two Viet-Cajun dinners on April 11 and 12.
