One Top Artisan Bakery

Despite the increasingly acknowledged fact that this bakery is so popular today, you can still manage to wiggle through the door and savor the aroma of freshly baked bread. You are undeniably in the right place, the bakery of Poilane.....
Visiting the local bakeries and pastry shops in Paris is a big priority on my list of places to see. Not only do I want to see, but I definately want to taste....
One shop we traveled to, on this last fast and furious excursion, was to the Poilane's bakery on Cherche-Midi. There is still no mass production and each loaf is still handmade. Once inside the store, every corner is jammed packed with delicious pastries and breads that could cause you to go into hyperdrive.....I wanted to taste everything!
In this artisan type of bakery, there is continuous skill and care given to every item that is baked and the methods used have remained the same since its inception way back in 1932. There are two shops to visit in Paris and one in London. I hope you can make it to one of the shops ....it's worth the time ... and getting lost on the way is one of the joys about roaming the streets in cities unfamiliar to us.....
