From Danny Gregory's An Illustrated Journey
Ciel bleu/blue skies, swallows, putti...that's what you'll find when you look up in some old-fashioned boulangers in Paris. I went out to hunt a few down today but there are many more to discover.
Ciel bleu/blue skies, swallows, putti...that's what you'll find when you look up in some old-fashioned boulangers in Paris. I went out to hunt a few down today but there are many more to discover.
First stop in the 7th arrondissement at le Boulanger des Invalides Jocteur, 14 Avenue Villars, 75007 Metro - Saint Francois-Xavier
This place is buzzing. The environment could not be more delightful. But the pastries are as beautiful as the decor.
I got a sable praline cookie perfectly matching the peppy pink walls but tasting heavenly...
Next hop onto the #80 bus up to Montmartre to Boulanger Lional Cailles. The sign is tiny. You could so easily miss it but not the facade.
And the interior is one of the best with butterflies, be-ribboned croissants, floral tiles in cornflower blue.
The prices are old fashioned too which is awfully nice.
And very pretty.
The hunt continues in the 10th at the highly regarded Les Ideas et des Pain14, rue Yves Tudic 75010 Metro: Jacques Bonsergent
The pretty sky ceil is in heavy competition with the perfect pastries and breads, neck and neck. One doesn't know which way to look.
The twirly pistache - chocolate swirls are much loved, But I just got a savory walnut pavé with chèvre and tomatoes seché inside.
The perfect place to complete your hunt for boulangerie blue skies is the 18th century-styled Hotel Caron de Beaumarchaise in the Marais.
Speaking of roofs over one's head, I must begin hunting for my next roof for September 1. I need to find another small studio anywhere in Paris. If you've heard of any available studios coming up do let me know dear PBers,
Bonne Soiree PBers!
