Pâtisserie Hunt - blé sucré





blé sucré is relatively new on the Paris bakery scene when one considers the legends of Ladurée and Pierre Hermé.  Founded by patissier Fabrice Le Bourdat, the list of temptations is long.  The quality is high and yet the prices are not.  So, what should you choose?
pan au chocolat, madeleine, and financier


Still hungry?
chocolate éclair, croissant, chaussons aux pommes


More?
How about an assortment of macarons

Miam-miam!

    They all sound "délicieux" but i must say that I "craque" for the sign itself--- you know how much I love signs, Genie. Great shot ;-) Veronique - French Girl in Seattle

    Hi Genie
    Well I can say that although I tried to avoid sugar and carbs [insulin problem] whilst I was in Paris.. by the end of my trip on my return to Paris I was eating pain au chocolate every day.. haha.. I miss it.. will have to find some here!!!

    You know sadly I didn't make it to Laduree.. maybe I was subconsciously avoiding the sugar??? I wish though I had found that cute little boulangerie you showed a few posts back.. gee.. should have checked out your blog before I ventured over there..

    Thanks for your kind comments.. As I say here in Aus... 'Bless Your Cotton Socks'.. Have a great day!! ciao xxx Julie

    Loving that ironwork and sign! As for your challenging array of choices, I will go for the macarons. For the first visit, that is.

    I leave the sweets and look at the beautiful sign, so much details with a windmill and the curls. No temptations on Monday, have to be strong.

    Cute sign. I will have one of each please..

    Next time at LaDuree on the Champs..request a table upstairs...very formal and beautiful up there...draperies, oil paintings and chandeliers ...an elegant setting for their sweets! But, maybe you know that....

    Pain au chocolat bien sûr! The sign is great. Reminds me of the ones hanging in the hallway of the Musée Carnavalet!

    All this temptation and no address? Love the photo of this wonderful sign.

    Again, I must thank Richard for his comments en français -- a great way to learn how the French say things.

    And I would love to know more about this word "craque" used by French girl in Seattle. This is the second time I've come across it.

    Genie,

    I'm not picky! I'll take one of each! HA HA I do love pan au chocolat and madeleines. I make madeleines at Christmas time.

    I'll take one of each -- or maybe two, Genie!!! It's a chilly gray day, I just took Sam Schnauzer for a walk and I'm starving!! You do know how to tease us!! Sounds heavenly! Hope you have a lovely evening, mon amie! Enjoy!

    Hugs

    It is me, the Monday tease with pastries! The address is at the bottom of the post and the font is rather small.

    It is 7, rue Antoine Vollon, on the west side of Square Trousseau, one short block from Métro Ledru Rollin.

    ... more later, mes amis!

    for Harriet: "craque" means "I fall for...". I craque for the croissants and pain au chocolat. One of each. Of course croissant au beurre. Mmmmm

    Traveling to Paris for the pastries alone would be worth the trip. I would need to bring along an empty suitcase for the goodies I couldn't finish eating!

  37. AlexaOctober 10, 2011 at 3:14 PM

    I had the same thought as Virginia when I saw the sign. Genie, you had me at pain au chocolat—but I'll save some room for a macaron (ou deux), bien sur!

    I'll have an assortment, s'il vous plaît. I know we're going to do so much walking that I'm sure to burn off all the calories.

  41. Genie -- Paris and BeyondOctober 11, 2011 at 1:08 AM

    louciao, you are correct, and there seems to be a consensus that we some some of each and will share a buffet. I think that we would need to close this pâtisserie for a private party!

    So, today I have learned a new work "craque" and that all of you can be tempted to eat pastries on a Monday. We will walk it off.

    Paris Paul, you need not worry that we will not get enough of your bread... I will tell you about my two favorites soon. There is nothing better than eating a Baguette Monge, hot out of the paper wrapping in front of Eric Kayser's in the cold air of December. Of course we buy two more to carry back to the apartment.

    Welcome, sadiecarl!

    Bises,
