Poilane (Paris: St.Germain des Pre)

Food 21: Paris

Besides bistro and restaurants, boulangerie are our must check in Paris. We went to this charming bakery called Poilane in St. Germain in the morning before moving onto another intense day of sight-seeing.

Punitions, Poilâne butter cookies. We sampled them the first time we went in and the rest of the day we kept remembering that subtle but unforgettable buttery flavor and crisp. We went back and bought a few bags. They're great for keeping in bag for energy refuel.

Poilane
8 rue de Cherch Midi, 75006 Paris

Comments:

YES it's a big problem~~! ^^;;; Actually this prevent me trying more patisseries. Breads are fine. There're parks where you can sit down, but by the time we walked there, we finished gulping down the pastries already ^^;; (that's why the lack of proper photos of the baked goods I devour). But cake...you can't walk while use a fork to eat a millefuille right? They're meant for locals to bring home to eat.

Bakeries and cake shops with no eat-in space are a huge problem for tourists! Did you eat in the parks?
