Want to taste the best baguette in Paris (2011) for yourself? Here’s the practical information you need to sample Pascal Barillon’s prize-winning baguette
Across the street from the tree-filled Square Trousseau, Fabrice Le Bourdat makes some of the most beautiful desserts in Paris. Morning pastries are killer, too, and can be enjoyed with espresso on the sunny terrace. Don’t miss the now legendary iced madeleines.
“Gana” is founder Bernard Ganachaud, who won the “Meilleur Ouvrier de la France” title in 1979. This bakery was opened by his daughters in 1989.
It’s hard to say what’s more appetizing at this Marais bakery: The award winning baguettes, or baker/owner Benjamin Turquier. His schwarzbrot has won praise, too, and the simple cakes and fruit tarts shouldn’t be overlooked.
Head baker Djibril Bodian won the 2010 Grand Prix de la Baguette, but the pastries will also tempt you at this Montmartre address.
Christophe Vasseur’s breads are worth crossing town for, and many people do.
Do not let the multiple locations fool you into thinking that this is some kind of mediocre chain bakery; the breads at Kayser are excellent, and you’ll be happy that there are so many around town.
Gosselin’s baguette was rated fifth best in the city in 2010.
Bazin is known for his breads, as well as his classic Paris-Brest.
Frédéric Pichard’s baguette placed in the top ten in the 2009 Grand Prix de la Baguette.
Dominique Saibron won third place in the 2010 Grand Prix de la Baguette.
Baker Franck Tomberel won the 2009 Grand Prix de la Baguette.
