DEBAUVE ET GALLAIS

Chocolatier
4.6/5
5 reviews

Classified as a historical monument, the shop was established in 1800 by Debauve and Gallais who before being chocolate makers, were pharmacists to Queen Marie Antoinette at Versailles. Much later, Paule Cuvelier took over this noble house and it is this same one that has made him feel brand new. This chocolate factory is known for its excellent range of dark chocolate with low sugar content and no additives. You will find chocolate crisps baked in their pots with pure almond and pure hazelnut, ganache with beans of different origins, truffles with candied orange and specialties like Pistoles known as Santé with orange blossom and almond cream, prepared for Marie Antoinette. Historical! La Boîte 1800 is a gem for it offers an eclectic selection of chocolate candies, a superb muslin purse, a bag of weapons and a card embossed with fine gold which goes with each box. All these chocolates are remarkably presented in elegant boxes.

ANGELINA

Patisserie
4/5
1 review

In addition to its tea room in the Luxembourg Museum, Angelina is also present on the left bank in the lively rue du Bac, one of the gourmet arteries of the 7th arrondissement. The shop is all in white, Belle Epoque style revisited. Beware, unlike the other establishments of this unavoidable institution of the Parisian sweet landscape, it is not a tea room where you can taste its specialties, always so sublime. The macaroons and the famous Mont-Blanc take pride of place, alongside other classics such as the millefeuille and the fig tart (in September-October). Fans of the famous hot chocolate will opt for the Choc Africain... with dark chocolate.

LE BAC À GLACES

Glacier
Closed - Open to 11h00

This family-run business specializes in 100% natural, 100% artisanal, low-sugar ice cream (using stevia for a range of diet sorbets). Even today, the brand is a benchmark, with over 70 flavors available. We love the marrons glacés ice cream, as well as the nougat ice cream with chips, the honey-pine nut ice cream, the sublime extra dark chocolate sorbet, the raspberry-pink or the mango-passion-coriander... Innovation is always the order of the day, including this very surprising extra dark chocolate to discover.

MARTINE LAMBERT

Glacier
Closed - Open to 10h00

Some are "king makers", others "ice cream makers". Such is the case of Martine Lambert, who began by delighting gourmets in Deauville, before setting up shop on rue Clerc in Paris in 2003. Her store is a treasure trove of ice creams, all carefully lined up. His trademark? Raw milk and fresh cream from Normandy, and 100% natural ingredients from around the world. Alongside traditional flavors are specialties like this divine Succulent (three layers of ice cream - hazelnut praline, chocolate, caramel) topped with almonds and hazelnuts.

DES GÂTEAUX ET DU PAIN

Bakery

Claire Damon has worked in some of the finest Parisian palaces: Ladurée, Plaza Athénée... This pastry chef, whose grandparents grew strawberries in Saint-Geniez-d'Olt, nevertheless cites her Auvergne roots and vacations in Aveyron to explain the very natural imprint that characterizes her work. In his store on rue du Bac, as in the one on boulevard Pasteur, his creations - breads with a taste for the authentic and pastries as delicious as they are evocative - are hymns to nature.
