Patisserie No. 6

Au Panetier

10, Place des Petits Freres, 2nd Arr.

Au Panetier is a quaint Art Nouveau'd-out boulangerie tucked behind a tiny little Parisian square in the second arrondissement. The star of this show is the pain au chocolat blanc. Mind you, this is not a 'pain au chocolat' which is the fraternal twin of the chocolate croissant. Naw, son. This was a different breed. This had the thick exterior of a large glazed dinner roll and the warm, fluffy and porous interior of a madeleine sprinkled with bits and pieces of oozing white chocolate morsels. I accompanied the bad boy with a nice cup of cafe creme. 

Patisserie Purchased: Pain au Chocolat Blanc

Cost: 2€50

I've come to terms that you don't go out to eat in Paris for the service but for the atmosphere. And that is exactly what Au Panetier is- good food and good vibes. Cute for what it is but no need for a special trip.
