Looking for the best galettes des rois in Paris? When it comes to artisanal bakeries and pastry shops, Pleincœur is the name to remember! Maxime Frédéric, pastry chef at Cheval Blanc Paris and crowned World's Best Pastry Chef 2025, and his family of choice offer three 2025 galettes des rois that combine tradition and innovation with exceptional Viennese puff pastry.
Based in Batignolles in the 17th arrondissement since November 2024, this exceptional artisan offers luxury quality in a neighborhood bakery and pastry shop, with prices much lower than in the big Parisian hotels. That's also the Pleincœur spirit: artisanal production with exceptional products for a neighborhood pastry shop. We love this approach, which makes excellence accessible to all!
A classic that will please the whole family! This creation features delicate Viennese puff pastry filled with a generous amount of rum-flavored almond frangipane. Simple in appearance, this galette respects tradition while benefiting from the chef's impeccable technique. The puff pastry, crafted with precision, offers a perfect, crispy texture that contrasts with the softness of the frangipane. A sure bet for purists who seek excellence in simplicity. The butter comes from Normandy, Maxime Frédéric's native region, where his family still farms the land. This is a far cry from industrial frangipane, and it really makes all the difference!
For those who enjoy more original flavors, this galette offers a gourmet experience that showcases the house's favorite product. Hazelnuts from Lot-et-Garonne, harvested in September by Laurent, Sophie, Yannick, and Christine (the chef's real family), bring their character and sweetness to this creation. Hazelnuts, Pleincœur's signature ingredient, are used here in a creamy filling that perfectly combines tradition and innovation. This galette is for those who want to think outside the box while still enjoying bold, generous flavors. We love the idea of showcasing this exceptional fruit, which has made Atelier Noisette & Chocolat famous.
The most daring creation in the collection! This surprising combination promises a taste journey where the sweetness of pear meets the intensity of chocolate. The pastry chef plays on contrasting textures and flavors to offer a modern galette that will surprise your guests. It's indulgent, melt-in-the-mouth, and generous—we love it. While the price may seem high, it's still well below the prices charged by luxury hotels for equivalent quality. That's Pleincœur's whole mission: to make pastry excellence accessible.
These three galettes are available to order at 64 rue des Batignolles (open every day from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.) and atAtelier Pleincœur at 12 rue Mstislav Rostropovitch (open every day from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.).
This collection of galettes des rois is in line with Pleincœur's philosophy of promoting local producers and short supply chains. Since opening his shop at 64 rue des Batignolles in November 2024, Maxime Frédéric has created a real hub of life where pastries become a daily pleasure. Surrounded by his wife Claire, Gaëtan Lucas (pastry chef), and Antonin Racinet (head baker), he has designed this space as a place for sharing, where every customer is welcomed with the warmth of a family.
In short, for Epiphany 2025, Pleincœur offers three galettes des rois that combine tradition and creativity. Whether you're looking for a classic frangipane or more original combinations, these addresses in the 17th arrondissement are definitely worth a visit. Go there to share a convivial moment with palace-quality service in a neighborhood atmosphere, at a good price. The creations of Maxime Frédéric and his family of the heart are for anyone looking for authenticity, passion, and artisanal expertise.
