Start Your Day Like a Parisian: Croissants, Chocolate and Culture

Highlights

Reiseverlauf

1. 1

   Step into a café tucked into arcades where this tradition of morning pastry began. You'll start with a Viennese-style coffee or hot chocolate, piled with cream, alongside a warm homemade waffle.

2. 2

   Palais-Royal

   Walk through gardens built for a cardinal in the 1630s and later handed to a king. Striped black and white columns and polished metal fountains sit inside arcades once lined with the city's first shops.

3. 3

   Bois de Boulogne

   Duck into a chocolate workshop where every bar is still roasted on site by hand. You'll try a praline cookie made with couverture ground the traditional way, a quiet contrast to the mass-produced chocolate.

4. 4

   2nd Arrondissement

   Pass beneath a glass roof that's been letting in Parisian light since 1823. Mosaic floors, bookshops, and tearooms line this covered gallery, one of the finest surviving examples of the 19th-century passages that once crisscrossed the city.

5. 5

   Stop at a bakery known for its Art Deco tilework as much as its ovens. You'll taste a slice of quiche lorraine here, a savory break in a morning otherwise built around butter and sugar, in a room that still looks like 1900s Paris.

6. 6

   Bois de Boulogne

   Sample a cup from a tea house that's been sourcing leaves for France since the reign of Louis XIV. A royal decree once made this family the only ones allowed to sell tea in the country, a monopoly that shaped how Paris drinks tea today.

7. 7

   1st Arrondissement

   Meet the pastry that reinvented the éclair before it reinvented the croissant. You'll taste a chocolate cream-filled croissant from a chef who trained alongside some of Paris's biggest names, flavors shifting with the season.

8. 8

   You'll break into a traditional baguette and an all-butter croissant, baked using techniques that predate the ovens they're baked in.

   Then, enjoy a tasting of half-salted butter, a nutty aged cheese, a soft triple cream, and a spoon of fruit jelly.

   20 Minuten•Eintritt frei

9. 9

   Finish where two of the only bean-to-bar chocolate makers in central Paris still work. A water-based hot chocolate, made from a single bean and no added cocoa butter, arrives alongside your last two croissants of the morning.
