Bakery La Parisienne de Paris

Paris, France

Billy and I were wandering around in the Latin Quarter of Paris one windy day, when we stumbled upon this award-winning bakery. 

The young and ambitious owner, Mickael Reydellet, was born in Normandy, where dairy products are known for their quality. At the age of 22, he became manager of his first bakery, and three years later, he created La Parisienne.

This bakery won the prestigious award of Prix de la Meilleure Baguette Tradition de Paris in 2016.

Let's take a look.

Entrance and outdoor seating at Boulangerie Parisienne, Paris, France

Entrance and outdoor seating

The outside is sleek, classic and unpretentious.

While there is no indoor seating, there are plenty of chairs and several tables on the sidewalk where you can enjoy your cafe, pastry or baguette sandwich.

This bakery also gets high marks for quick and friendly service, even when there are people waiting in line.

Apple tarte at Boulangerie Parisienne, Paris, France

Apple tart

This is a classic French apple tart, known as "Tarte aux Pommes" in French.

With a shortcrust pastry base, thinly sliced apples are arranged in a decorative pattern on top, and a simple syrup drizzled to give it that shiny finish.

Underneath is either a layer of apple sauce or almond paste.

The texture contrasts between the crisp pastry and the soft, caramelized apples and has become a favorite of the French everywhere.

French culinary tradition is combining simplicity with elegance.

Eclairs, St. Honoré cake, chocolate cream tart

The French are famous for their many combinations for pastry-building.

In this photo you have Eclairs filled with cream and topped with icing, a St. Honore cake, a kind of cream puff, and a chocolate tart.

Chocolate is always a popular choice in Paris.

These pastries are not just food; they are an art form.

More pastries at Boulangerie Parisienne, Paris, France

Opera cakes, Paris-Brest, Tartlets and Eclairs

On the left is an Opera Cake which is a layering of cake of almond sponge cake, coffee syrup, ganache, and coffee buttercream. The top has a dusting of chocolate.

The center pastry is called Paris-Brest created in 1910 to commemorate the Paris-Brest-Paris bicycle race, symbolizing the wheel of a bicycle. Traditionally filled with praline cream and often topped with almonds or hazelnuts. This one might have had some matcha or pistachio added, giving it the green color.

Then there are some cream tartlets and Eclairs.

How can you go past one of these and not buy it?

 

 

 

 

Baguette sandwiches at Boulangerie Parisienne, Paris, France

Baguette sandwiches

The Parisienne offered baguette sandwiches as well.

The French are world renowned for their style of bread called baguettes.

This one is filled with cooked peppers, sliced cheese and Arugula. The Arugula gives it a peppery bite.

This is a classic French sandwich.

At the very bottom on the left you can see a bit of Viking Bread peaking out. This dark multi-grain loaf has seeds and is both flavorful and chewy.
