Christophe Vasseur is an adorable boy, cheerful, passionate and talented. Commercial in fashion, he left behind everything to get a CAP in bakery and realise his dream. His ancient style shop is decorated with coasters, rustic ceiling drawings that dates as far as the year 1889 and the tables are decorated with ancient copper moulds. It is lovely and it perfectly corresponds to the spirit of the boss: tradition in modernity. He researched ancient recipes and adapted them to today's style. All breads are baked on stone, as in the past, this is what gives them the flat bottom and the thick crust which guarantees excellent preservation. He invented gastro bread like the Rabelais for foie gras, apple Pagnol for Vacherin. His «Pain des Amis» is a very flat bread, very crusted, the apple turnover is topped with apple and no compote, and as for its brioche with orange blossom, it is inspired by a recipe from North Africa. He thinks of stopping the French loaves so as to make only bread made from ancient and rare flour.

Always elegant, right in the heart of the ^6th arrondissement, the Saint-Germain market reopened its doors in 2017 after a major transformation that in no way detracted from the beauty of the place. The work has restored the market's architectural credentials, and the shops on site (greengrocers, fishmongers, cheesemongers...) now benefit from a site that's as functional as it is beautiful. Food markets, grocery stores and other major brands are open 7 days a week, with shorter opening hours on Sundays. A lovely whiff of neighborhood life.

The famous Breton chef Olivier Roellinger has hung up his apron, but not his desire for exoticism. This spice enthusiast opened this Parisian shop with his wife where, as in Cancale and Saint-Malo, the two other shops, he brings to life scents and flavours from all over the world: spices, chillies, peppers, vanillies, sea flowers, oils and condiments, as well as a few sweets. The proposed mixtures sublimate the meats, fishes and vegetables to which they can be subtly associated. The website offers everything that can be found in the shop. It's absolutely fabulous, and you'll be surprised to find that combining spices is a real art of living.

The boutique Rive Gauche de la Maison du Whisky is located in a beautiful modern space on three levels. & Fine Spirits LMDW - that's its name - gives pride of place to all the world's top-of-the-range spirits (whisky, rum, cognac, vodka, tequila, mezcal, gin...).

The first Pierre Hermé boutique was opened in Tokyo in 1998. The second one on rue Bonaparte was opened in 2001. Since then, it has been an undeniable success. The macaroons of this star pastry chef make even the most fashion-conscious ladies swoon: on the one hand, the "Infiniment" (vanilla, lemon, chocolate, pistachio...), on the other hand the "Signature" (Mogador, Chloé...). As for the pastries, the creations are divided into two categories: the unavoidable ones, such as the Ispahan (rose, raspberry, lychee) and the 2000 leaves, and the cakes according to the seasons. You can also enjoy a coffee at Café Pierre Hermé, on the other side of rue Bonaparte, at 61.

This is where the L'éclair de Génie adventure began.

It's hard to describe the whole range, which is recognizable by its flashy colours, but we guarantee it's worth the detour! A (very small) preview : Around Christmas 2023, for example, you could snap up a boxed set of dark chocolate-peanut and Madagascar vanilla-caramel éclairs... Discover many other surprises in store.

It cannot be said that the capital lacks coffee shops, for the sake of caféinomanes. One of the most popular addresses is the Starbucks and its many facilities. One of them is drawn into the 2nd arrondissement. Set on the beautiful terrace of the Établissement establishment or inside under the beautiful moulures of the places, you can enjoy your coffee in the "Opera district" mode. A beautiful frame, good coffee and a hair service, difficult to play fine mouths. If not due to price, a cold shower offered by the house…

A rich family history, sketched out just over 60 years ago by Raymond Berthillon (who passed away in 2014), the famous Maison Berthillon is an ice cream parlour and tea room on rue Saint-Louis-en-l'Île. The work, now carried out by the new generation, gives rise to creations that are a marvel of flavour and balance. Note: Maison Berthillon makes a point of using natural products (milk, fresh cream, eggs, fruit, etc.). It remains one of the best places in Paris to appreciate artisanal know-how.

Amorino, a true Italian glacier, uses manufacturing processes from generation to generation. The first shop, opened in 2002 on Saint-Louis island, made many Small. At Amorino, all materials are imported from Italy. The ice is made from whole milk, eggs, sugar and natural flavourings, fruit and even organic products. They are invariably served by spatula, pots or cornet of different sizes in flower form with, in choice, twenty fragrances, which vary depending on the seasons. Among the specialties of the house: La, a chocolate cream and hazelnuts or the Amaretto with a delicious almond biscuit. Amorino also thinks of winter months, when freezing is felt, you can indulge in hot chocolates or simply good chocolate sweets.

Some like him, others love him, and as if his title of Meilleur Ouvrier de France received in 2000 was not enough, some go as far as describing him as "Rodin of chocolate". It must be said that his sculptures are bold and absolutely wonderful, he even recreated a cobblestone of May 68 to mark the 40th anniversary. He dares new mixtures - sometimes 14 products assembled in one creation - that delight the palate. He combines textures and aesthetics. Patrick Roger is also a master of taste who works  in his chocosphere! He imagines everything in his workshop in Sceaux where he transforms chocolate into wonderful sweets or into giant pieces of 80 kilograms.
