Des Gâteaux et du Pain
The pastries you will find here are rather high end, refined and luxurious, all while maintaining a sense of creativity and modernity. Besides their sumptuous croissants, try some of their daring inventions, using ingredients that few would dare to put together.

Du Pain et des Idées
The croissants from Du Pain et des Idées are worth every centime. Crusty, golden and rich, the croissants stray from tradition with a hint of almond. Their shape also defies the norm, with twisted ends giving the croissant more crunch. A veritable pleasure for non-conformists!

Boulangerie Pichard
These croissants are so extremely buttery you will, without a doubt, need to wash your hands after having eaten one. You will find this croissant in a boulangerie where the main clientele is Parisian regulars. You feel almost at home in its comfort, the atmosphere is rather vintage and the croissants are delicious.
