Parisian pastry shops
They say that everyone has their own Paris ... Some prefer trendy shops and arcades that sell the latest creations of French haute couture, while others have long become regulars at small boutiques in the Latin Quarter, offering all the same, but with solid discounts. Some people like to dine in Michelin-starred restaurants, and their opponents confidently object that the best cuisine is in street eateries, where chimney sweeps, janitors and dock workers eat. But there are sights in the French capital that no traveler can indifferently pass by, regardless of gender and age - these are the pastry shops of Paris. Divine aroma of cinnamon, juicy berries on airy cakes and a thin crispy crust of a baguette that explodes in myriads of tiny fragments at the light touch of a knife - what could be more beautiful, tastier and more perfect for a real gourmet?
