Behind a historic storefront, at the back of a tea room or in a newly opened cafe, lies the next stop on a sweet stroll through Paris. And when it comes to that, each arrondissement has its own institutions, its little artisans, and its new addresses to watch closely.
Parisian pastries remain, of course, essential—from the great houses to chef-owned boutiques—but they’re only the starting point. Bakeries also deserve a detour, as do the chocolateries, the ice cream shops when the heat rises, and the tea rooms where one can linger over a goûter. This gourmande map is now complemented by numerous cafés and coffee shops, sometimes specialized, often creative, renewing habits neighborhood by neighborhood.
From the Marais to Montmartre, from Saint-Germain-des-Prés to Belleville, via the Latin Quarter, Opéra and the Batignolles, the quest shifts decor at every metro stop. A confidential address, a historic house, a chic boutique, a neighborhood counter... Follow the guide through the 20 arrondissements of Paris to know where to push the door when the urge for a gourmet break strikes!
