Croissant and viennoiserie
in Paris
Flaky, deeply buttery pastries that turn breakfast into a daily Paris ritual. Look for crisp laminated layers, a soft honeycomb interior, and a bakery with a steady local queue.
Did you know?
The best Parisian bakeries make viennoiserie in small batches, so arriving early often means the freshest layers.
