On a busy market Sunday, the open window above the pâtisserie shop gives the observant an opportunity to see the bakers at work. The perfect little pastries are a delight to the taste buds with flavors of honey, almonds, and pistachios. It is, as you would imagine, a family operated business, friendly and welcoming.
When you go to Marché d'Aligre, go there hungry as there is much to tempt.

Love those "Pâtisseries orientales." My father (who grew up in Algeria, then a French colony,) introduced me to them when I was a child. Good thing they can be found all over Paris. This is a wonderful capture, Genie. Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
Well, it's Tuesday night here, but I'd still go there in a heartbeat whenever I thought I could enjoy the pastries!! Such a delightful looking place and a wonderful capture as always, my dear Genie!

Les pâtisseries orientales sont si bonnes...
Gros bisous
I have been to the Marché d´Aligre twice but this bakery never caught my eyes. In July I will stay close to the market and will definitely look for this bakery.
Hum, les cornes de gazelle et les loukoums..!
What a great photo and oh I would love to taste those pastries.
There aren't many places here where things are still baked on the premises. I can imagine the lovely fragrance of baking, wafting through the open window.
I would forget my diet there, I'm sure about that! :)
Cool capture, I like the girls in that window!

That's some mixer she's using. I think it is larger than my entire kitchen! I love this glimpse into the "secret world of French baking!"

oh, how wonderful to capture the baker at work. perfect in b&w.
I was intimidated by my new KitchenAid mixer when I first got it. I might be afraid to turn on the power switch on a machine this large! I'll bet the smells coming from that window are wonderful.
Sigh...just the thought of pastries have made my waistline grow another inch! Would you look at that mixer! HUGE!
J 'aime beaucoup les gateaux algeriens. Bisou. Erika
I too like those pastries. Love this photo, too.
A great shot, Genie—and excellent advice!
Every year at this time I get Paris fever. Thanks for bringing it to us:-)
I took this photo to them on my last trip and they were delighted, pressing me with little pastries. I refused all but two, accepting their kind gift (which Holly and I quickly ate)!
I am having internet connection issues and have about the speed of a dial-up. Please forgive my absence.
Bises,

I'm collecting addresses for the projected trip with my kids , later in the year. I think they would like this place. So will I! Thanks.
