The best pastry shops Paris 4th 75004

This is where the L'éclair de Génie adventure began. By the end of 2023, the brand launched by Christophe Adam had three outlets: this one, the one at Galeries Lafayette and L'Eclair de Génie Café in Montmartre. It's hard to describe the whole range, which is recognizable by its flashy colors, but we guarantee it's worth the detour! A (very small) preview? At Christmas 2023, for example, you could snap up a boxed set of dark chocolate-peanut and Madagascar vanilla-caramel éclairs... We'll let you discover the rest in store.

It all began in Cap-Ferret, on the Arcachon basin. According to the website, it was the son of Pascal Lucas, a baker based in one of the villages on the peninsula, who returned from an evening out to take a chouquette and fill it with cream prepared by his father. The "Dune blanche" was born. Two versions are available: the classic, available all the time, and the ephemeral, produced every weekend by combining the cream with seasonal fruit or, like autumn, with gianduja, praline... The sweet tooths of the Marais appreciate it. And rightly so.
