bakeries

What time do they open in the mornings?

|||

Our two favorite boulangeries open at 7:30AM, one 6 days a week (closed Wednesdays) and the other 5 days a week (closed Sat/Sun).

|||

Is that probably the earliest they all open? Thank you!

|||

That%26#39;s the earliest I%26#39;ve seen them open their doors but the bakers are in there working before long before sunrise. It%26#39;s hard to pass one when the ovens are full. Bread baking is one of the best aromas on the planet and you smell it all over Paris around sunrise.

|||

Many bakeries open earlier than 7.30 . If you are willing to walk a little bit, you can be sure to find one opened at 6.30 or even 6 .

Which bakeries do you visit?

If I recall correctly, you liive in the neighborhood I will be staying at in August (Rue Aubriot).

In our neighborhood;

%26quot;Le Gay Choc%26quot; - 45 rue St. Croix de la Bretonnerie in the 4th and %26quot;Du Pain et des Idées%26quot; - 24 rue Saint Martin. also in the 4th.

Le Gay choc bakes an outstanding loaf of bread, %26quot;le Grand Meuniere%26quot; (we buy one EVERY day) and has the best traditional pain au chocolat we%26#39;ve found. If you like almond croissants, this place is outstanding. They%26#39;re usually too sweet for my tastes but I love the way they do them at le Gay Choc.

Du Pain et des Idées is an organic bakery that specializes in traditional breads and pasteries baked in traditional manner. Excellent baguettes and their sweet pastries are wonderful.

Thank you! Hopefully they will be open during the end of August so I can visit them both!
