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.

Prix plus élevé mais la qualité et le savoir faire justifient ce prix.
I had a piece of flan (5€ a pice!) and a pain suisse (around 4,80€) and both were ok, but not the best I’ve had and not something I’d get again.
I don’t understand why this place got so much attention. Definitely has great products (like many in Paris) and everyone should form their own opinion since we all have different tastes.
To me, I’d rather sit somewhere nicer and quieter to enjoy my sweets and coffee, not in front of the long line.
