5 Fabulous Patisseries in Paris
Ah, Paris! The illustrious City of Light. Meandering along the Seine, exchanging kisses at Saint Germain des Prés, clasping hands on the steps of Montmartre, and savoring world-renowned coffee alongside sumptuous pastries in exceptional patisseries. Many compelling reasons exist to embark on a journey to this magnificent city. However, we must confess the patisseries hold a special place in our hearts as one of our cherished destinations within Paris – and with valid justification. Their offerings are sumptuously rich; after all, Paris is celebrated for its exquisite pastries and desserts!
We have selected five of the most gourmet Parisian patisseries you must visit during your stay in the city, especially if you can witness the French Open tennis tournament matches!
Stohrer
Nicolas Stohrer, pastry chef of Louis XV, opened his first shop in Paris in 1730. Parisians took to Stohrer’s goods like ducks to water since the shop is still going strong today. It is the oldest bakery in Paris.
A must-try: Baba Chantilly. It’s the mouth-watering cake of the house, invented by Nicolas Stohrer in the 18th century. It’s embellished with its volumes of Chantilly cream. You can buy it just for one or in larger sizes to share.
Address: 51 rue Montorgueil
Du Pain et des Idées
If you can only visit one of these patisseries on this list, Du Pain et des Idées would be it. The bakery’s name translates to “bread and ideas,” and we have to say both are outstanding here. Many believe Du Pain et des Idées is the best bakery in the city. We have it on good authority chefs from other establishments line up here to get their breakfasts!
A must-try: Pistachio Chocolate Escargot. If sinking your teeth into the softest, warmest, most buttery and flaky piece of heaven sounds pretty good, you must try this dessert in the shape of a snail’s house, hence, the name.
Address: 34 rue Yves Toudic
Maison Pierre Hermé
Pastry Chef Pierre Hermé looks at everything as a source of inspiration for his creations. A team of pastry chefs from Maison Pierre Hermé began assembling the notes and textures imagined by Pierre Hermé. Tastings, adjustments, new tastings – everything about the pastries are perfected before they’re revealed.
A must-try: When in France you have to sample French Macarons and Maison Pierre Hermé has some of the most delicious in a myriad of flavors like mango, pineapple, banana, crème brûlée, Madagascar vanilla and coffee.
Address: 72 rue Bonaparte
Popelini
Popelini is affectionately known as the cream puff house in Paris. There are now four locations in the city. All they sell are cream puffs, so if you’re a fan, this is a stop you have to make on your Parisian travels.
A must-try: The cream puffs, of course! There are rows and rows of these colorful little petit choux pastries. We recommend the best-selling salted caramel! You won’t be able to get just one!
Address: 71 rue de Seine
All this scoping out the best patisseries will have you eventually longing for a place to rest your feet. Apartment Edin The luxury rooms are a testament to the power of simplicity, with a clean aesthetic that allows the area to breathe and exude an air of tranquility.

You will never need a specific reason to visit Paris. We go just because it’s Paris. However, there are many events to take part in, like tennis and the French Open, and things to do, such as patisserie hopping. When you’re in the City of Light, we want to ensure you have everything possible.
