Today, our team shares the addresses of some of their favourite Parisian patisseries.
Parisian patisseries – the great classics
Whether you're new to Parisian patisseries or rediscovering them, nothing beats the chefs who produce sumptuous gastronomic creations on a daily basis. Arnaud Larher makes divine rum babas and Paris-Brest while L'Éclair de genie explores all the possibilities of that perennially popular dessert, the éclair. Meanwhile, the Meurice pastry shop invites you to feast your eyes as well as your taste buds with a host of wonderful sweet creations. A special mention goes to Yann Couvreur who offers very high-end pastries at amazingly affordable prices.
And originals

Finally, you'll be astonished by the amazing Sadaharu Aoki, a fusion patisserie that combines the flavours of Japan and France in creations like its yuzu macaroons and black sesame éclairs.
