Ooh la la, how flaky the croissants are sitting pretty in that glass case. Lined up next to delicate palmiers and melt-in-your-mouth chocolate eclairs. A taste dispels any mystery: Paris has been baking local treats for over 30 years, and it’s the same quality of product day in and day out that consistently powers their super-ness. But sweets are just the tip of the iceberg—the breads, espressos, soups and sandwiches are equally savored by satisfied visitors.
