Pretty much all Parisian boulangeries are insanely cute, and most taste pretty damn good, but some do rise to the top. Case in point: Du Pain et des Idées. The bakery has, since its establishment in the early 2000s, captured the adoration of Instagrammers around the world. Occupying a picturesque corner of the 10e arrondissement, the historic storefront maintains the charm of the 1875 building.

Inside, the bakery also stays true to the traditional craft, with their signature collection of breads and pastries. On the bread end of the spectrum: pain des amis, their trademarked specialty that uses sourdough. On the pastry side, the spiraly escargot and layered vienoisserie that lives up to the high standards of the celebrated owner Christophe Vasseur. There’s a reason people flock to this bakery in a city full of bakeries, it’s practically a religious experience of pastry lovers. One bite and you’ll be converted too.
