What would Paris be without its bakeries filling the streets with irresistible aromas from daybreak onwards? A pain au chocolat at the end of a night out, a hot baguette for a dreamy street snack, a pâtisserie for a truly indulgent gourmet treat; days in Paris are filled with such delicacies. For your guidance, the Hotel Doisy Etoile presents its favourite 17th arrondissement boulangeries...

 

A 17th arrondissement bakery not to be missed: the Maison Julien

What if we were to tell you that last spring the Maison Julien baguette was hailed as the best among more than 200 others? Surely that would be the most convincing argument to get you there. Perhaps you’ll meet Taieb Sahal, the magician who, night after night, produces these fabulous baguettes with their generous fillings and perfectly crispy crusts. The prize he won was the honour of supplying the kitchens of the Palais de l'Élysée, official residence of the President of the French Republic. But don't opt only for the bread, the Maison Julien pâtisseries also regularly win awards!

 

Our other recommended tasty bakery addresses

Also within easy reach of your Hotel Doisy Étoile is the Pâtisserie Boulangerie Liberté and we heartily recommend that you check it out. Here you can admire the work of artisan bakers and pastry chefs thanks to there being no partition between the production and sales areas. It's fascinating and gives an extra dimension to your enjoyment. Finally, we couldn’t fail to mention Eric Kayser's designer and elegant Boulangerie Batignolles. Here, in a modern and inviting setting, you can discover various kinds of bread but also gorgeous pâtisseries such as the mini financiers and macarons that have made its reputation...

The baguette remains a symbol of Parisian refinement. To taste the best, you need only go a short way from your Hotel Doisy Etoile! Enjoy...
