What people say

Matthew Daws
"As of 2024, Mamiche is probably the most talked about bakery in Paris. They started out as a neighbourhood bakery but have opened one other spot since then. Here, everything is made with a sourdough starter, including the viennoiseries (croissants, pains au chocolat, pains au raisin...), which is arguably what they do best. My favourite thing about them is they have a page on their website stating that because all of their products are artisanal, there will be variations from time to time in their product. Embracing the imperfections is a key aspect to artisanal work, and I love them for it."

"đŸ„– when I'm regularly asked what my favorite bakery in Paris is, I say: Mamiche ! I love everything about them, from the bread to the pastries to the sandwiches. They have two locations in the 10th and 9th arrondissements. â„č The creators of Mamiche, Cecile and Victoria were among the first in Paris in 2016 to modernize traditional bakeries ❀ Choux Ă  la crĂšme (cream puff) ❀ Chocolate cookie with fleur de sel ❀ Pain au chocolat ♄ Rillettes de maquereaux - sandwich "

Enjoy some “tres jolie” days walking around the Parisian streets and boost up your energy level 🔋 with some coffee just after/before a “little” shopping spree. This list includes many of the city’s cafes (Paris is now a specialty coffee - and pastry - capital) and all the good spots to shop something that will surely indulge all of your needs/senses (main focus on French brands). 💡Be sure to check the vintage selling gems spreaded all over Paris!!! 💰 By the way, massive sales happen twice a year in France: in July and January. Called “les soldes” in French, the sales normally last around four weeks and the discounts increase as the weeks pass. Even if you don’t catch the sales, designer shops give you the opportunity of buying small accesories (keychains for example), leather goods (belts, gloves, card holders, passport covers, etc) or scarves/caps/ties - even umbrellas, which make for exceptional souvenirs. Perhaps you can even get the chance of seeing the “art of making” a product in the workshop/workroom of the artisans. Plus, visiting the shopping venues could turn into an amazing experience as many of them are soooo Instagrammable! Highlights: đŸ„ Croissant - is a buttery, flaky, viennoiserie pastry inspired by the shape of the Austrian kipferl but using the French yeast-leavened laminated dough. Croissants are named for their historical crescent shape. The modern croissant seems to have been created by the French chef Sylvain Claudius Goy. đŸ„– Baguette - is a long, thin type of bread of French origin that is commonly made from basic lean dough (the dough, though not the shape, is defined by French law). It is distinguishable by its length and crisp crust. 🧀 Fromage de France - there are more than 1,000 kinds of cheese in France! Being in Paris is being in the Ville des Fromages, the City of Cheese. Some of the most known: Camembert, Brie de Meaux, Roquefort, Reblochon, Munster, Pont l'ÉvĂȘque, Époisses de Bourgogne, ComtĂ©. Tip: go for a “cheese and wine” tasting. 🐌 Escargot - any of several species of edible land snails, a delicacy of French cuisine. Although the snails eaten as escargots are terrestrial, they are technically mollusks and therefore classified as seafood. đŸ· French wine - France is one of the largest wine producers in the world. Red wines from grape varieties like Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Zinfandel. RosĂ© wines like the Provençal rosĂ© and the sweet White Zinfandels. White wines like a Chardonnay, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, or a Moscato. Sparkling wines from Champagne and Vouvray.
