The 10 Paris Patisseries You'll Fall In Love With
The city of love, art and creativity, Paris has much to offer in the way of beauty, romanticism and, of course, gourmet cuisine. With a lengthy tradition for creating and presenting the very best pastries, foods and wines, it is often an almost impossible task to whittle the selection down. We discover ten of the best pâtisseries in the city of light that really satisfy the sweet tooth.
1. Carl Marletti x
Bakery, Patisserie, Pastry Shop, French
Established by a connoisseur in the art, Carl Marletti is a fantastic pâtisserie which focuses on beautiful presentation, absolute precision and an incredible flavor. Perfect for those wishing for aesthetic and gastronomic perfection, Carl Marletti is unusual in its combination of color and scent: in honor of his florist partner, Marletti often adds scent to traditional pastries to create something entirely new, such as the ‘Lily Valley’ (a St Honoré cake with the scent of violet). Though it is his Lemon Tart that won him an award, there are other products that are definitely worth trying within the shop itself, such as his specialty vanilla millefeuilles, éclairs, and the signature ‘Marletti’ (dacquoise biscuit with coconut, vanilla cream and red fruits).
2. Blé Sucré x
Bakery, Bar, Patisserie, French, European
Small yet renowned, Blé Sucré has reached a quasi-cult status for all those itinerant gourmands who wish to try the very best of breads and cakes in Paris. Placed in a ‘quaint’ and picturesque part of Paris, the superior quality of the products served, combined with a charming atmosphere (especially if you eat on their terrace overlooking the Square Trousseau), and excellent, friendly service make Blé Sucré a delight. Special mention must go to their glazed madeleines, croissants, and dark chocolate slabs, all of which are said to be so good that they alone are worthy of a trip to Paris.

5. Hugo & Victor x
Bakery, Patisserie, French
Having obtained a reputation for creativity and elegance, Hugo & Victor is a very popular wthat prides itself on its intensity of flavor. Classy and beautifully presented, the quality of its baked goods is enhanced by the fantastic presentation boxes and packages, some of which are a compulsory experiences in themselves (especially the Moleskin notebook-esque boxes for their gourmet chocolates). The classic yet creative simplicity of their products, such as the praline escargot pastry, are in a class of their own.
6. La Bague de Kenza x
Pastry Shop, Pastries
7. L'éclair de Génie x
Bakery, Patisserie, French, Pastries
8. Maison Desgranges x
Bakery, French
9. Pain de Sucre x
Patisserie, French, European
Literally named ‘Sugarloaf’ in French, Pain de Sucre is an explosion of all that is exciting and ever so slightly quirky in the world of pastry. This venue is especially well-known for its exciting range of tastes in marshmallows, such as chicory, saffron, chilli pepper, angelica, and whiskey to name a very small few. This principle of abundant flavor can also be seen in other products: their breads are simply bursting with the tastes of fruits, nuts and grains.
