Au Panetier
On each trip to Paris, my "check list" includes two new boulangeries/pâtisseries. Sometimes I have a specific name (Moulin de la Vierge) but often I just stumble into one.
Au Panetier has been in the same place on places des Petits-Pères facing Basilique Notre-Dame-des-Victoires since 1896. The prices were extraordinarily inexpensive for 2 cafés and 2 pains au chocolat, enjoyed in the ambiance of the Art Nouveau surroundings. In the fifteen minutes we were here (on the first day) there was a revolving line of people making their selections. The extra treat is that this was just around the corner from our apartment! While you are there you can pick up a sourdough baguette hot from the wood-fired oven to take with you.
I just wished for a small taste of pain au chocolat this morning and un café served in a Cafés Richard cup. I hope that my friend Mary will enjoy one for all of us today!
bon weekend!

LOL I'm happy that you ignored that sign "no pictures", because this picture is great and the reflections are just so clear!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend,

Although not as lavishly decorated, I used to go to a similar boulangerie when I lived in Marseilles. This is beautiful, and I love the extra details like the flowers painted on the ceiling. Can I join you for pain au chocolat et un cafe?

Oh how I would love to live near there just for the bread!
ReplyDeleteOh lovely! Looks like they are almost sold out, the cases are pretty empty.
ReplyDeleteooh stop making me feel hungry you naughty girl
ReplyDeleteI like very much that you are including a commentary with each photo now.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful reflections!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
beautiful pic! :)
ReplyDeleteC'est trop beau...do you know that song? This image made me think of it :)) Adore the colors.

Bises et bon weekend,

I'd love to join you for that pain au chocolat et cafe au lait!
ReplyDeleteThere are not that many inexpensive boulangeries in Paris, so I can imagine you were delighted:)
ReplyDeleteMy idea of heaven.
ReplyDeleteOn croit regarder par la fenêtre, et ce n'est qu'un miroir. Bravo !
ReplyDeleteI know just where this is but I've never been inside. Thanks for binging me in and sparking memories of Paris. :)
ReplyDeleteYour pic and comments certainly whet my appetite! Thanks for sharing and happy weekend.
ReplyDeletep.s. Forgot to mention that I love your header picture. During a 5-day visit to Paris in 2009 we especially enjoyed the River Seine tour with its oh so many fascinating bridges!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds so good to me! Sigh...
ReplyDeleteDid you ever find a Cafe Richard cup?
lovely lovely place
ReplyDeletethe flowers in the mirror are so pretty
A romantic little world with a stunning merry-go-round of reflections!
ReplyDeleteOh how «Louis» would like to visit this boulangerie!
ReplyDeleteI"m over the No Photos signs. How about you? I'm longing for a great baguette now.

What a beautiful place! And I love the ceramic tiles.
ReplyDeleteWhat sign? All I see is the beauty of this shop.
ReplyDeleteI love all of the colors and the wonderful tiles.
ReplyDeleteI really wish that I had enjoyed a sourdough baguette, but there is always next time. One day during our stay we came here twice and noted that they must bake all day as the bins had been replenished. I think that they do a brisk lunch business of carry-out due to their reasonable prices and great breads. (Emille is correct!)
ReplyDeleteThe decor is charming and original and it was difficult to take it all in during one sitting!
The "no photos" signs (drawing of a camera with a red diagonal line) do not bother me in places like this where there is a bustle of in/out traffic. It does bother me that Aoki whose tarts I adore will not let you take a photo no matter how much money you spend. Perhaps I will try there again on my next visit.
Gemma, I like the way you summed up the ambiance here.
Valerie, that makes two of us that are fascinated with the bridges of the Seine. Merci!
To all, I wish that we could all enjoy pain au chocolate for petit déjeuner this morning!
Bises,
Genie
Beautiful interior.
ReplyDeleteRegards and best wishes
Cheery reflections- nice shot!
ReplyDeleteThe little bakeries of Europe are just the best. I have not found any in our neck of the wood to compare with them. The delectable delights they have for sale are out of this world. Love your capture. It make me hunger for a taste or two. the other genie
