Gosselin’s baguette was rated fifth best in the city in 2010 and 2014. We included it on our list of Five Great Baguettes in Paris.
In Other Words
Best Baguette (Grand Prix de la Baguette de Tradition Française de la Ville de Paris) 5th place in 2010
Best Croissant (Concours du Meilleur Croissant au beurre AOC Charantes-Poitou) 18th place in 2009
Meg Zimbeck for Budget Travel (2010) “The pain au levain, or sourdough bread, is a simple but delicious option…”
The Girl Who Ate Everything (2008) “I went to Gosselin one Sunday morning (a time when many bakeries are closed) just to try its famed baguette. And it was awesome: chewy, crusty, and full of warm grainy flavors. I also tried a croissant and pain aux raisins, neither of which did much for my taste buds.”
It’s probably Larnicol.
It’s called Georges Larnicol (http://www.chocolaterielarnicol.fr/) and it’s a great place to fill up bags of chocolates too! I always get chocolate/candies there before movies. 🙂
The shop is called George s Larnicol and is one of my favorite places to go as well. Be sure to try the caramels!
i was just in paris and am obsessed by a pastry/ chocolate shop on the blvd st germain, just down the street from le comptoir, on the other side of the blvd. the whole window is full of these little rolled pastries called something like kouigette. i can’t remember the name of the shop or the pastry, anyone have any idea what im taking about?
merci!
