Christophe Vasseur is an adorable boy, cheerful, passionate and talented. Commercial in fashion, he left behind everything to get a CAP in bakery and realise his dream. His ancient style shop is decorated with coasters, rustic ceiling drawings that dates as far as the year 1889 and the tables are decorated with ancient copper moulds. It is lovely and it perfectly corresponds to the spirit of the boss: tradition in modernity. He researched ancient recipes and adapted them to today's style. All breads are baked on stone, as in the past, this is what gives them the flat bottom and the thick crust which guarantees excellent preservation. He invented gastro bread like the Rabelais for foie gras, apple Pagnol for Vacherin. His «Pain des Amis» is a very flat bread, very crusted, the apple turnover is topped with apple and no compote, and as for its brioche with orange blossom, it is inspired by a recipe from North Africa. He thinks of stopping the French loaves so as to make only bread made from ancient and rare flour.

Always elegant, right in the heart of the ^6th arrondissement, the Saint-Germain market reopened its doors in 2017 after a major transformation that in no way detracted from the beauty of the place. The work has restored the market's architectural credentials, and the shops on site (greengrocers, fishmongers, cheesemongers...) now benefit from a site that's as functional as it is beautiful. Food markets, grocery stores and other major brands are open 7 days a week, with shorter opening hours on Sundays. A lovely whiff of neighborhood life.

The famous Breton chef Olivier Roellinger has hung up his apron, but not his desire for exoticism.

The proposed mixtures sublimate the meats, fishes and vegetables to which they can be subtly associated. The website offers everything that can be found in the shop. It's absolutely fabulous, and you'll be surprised to find that combining spices is a real art of living.

The first Pierre Hermé boutique was opened in Tokyo in 1998. The second one on rue Bonaparte was opened in 2001. Since then, it has been an undeniable success. The macaroons of this star pastry chef make even the most fashion-conscious ladies swoon: on the one hand, the "Infiniment" (vanilla, lemon, chocolate, pistachio...), on the other hand the "Signature" (Mogador, Chloé...). As for the pastries, the creations are divided into two categories: the unavoidable ones, such as the Ispahan (rose, raspberry, lychee) and the 2000 leaves, and the cakes according to the seasons. You can also enjoy a coffee at Café Pierre Hermé, on the other side of rue Bonaparte, at 61.
