Le Grenier à Pain

Montmartre & Northern Paris


A past winner of Paris’ annual ‘best baguette’ prize, this enchanting bakery with a semi-open kitchen is an ideal place to pick up picnic fare. Join the queue for a crusty baguette sandwich, Provence-style fougasse bread and alluring mini breads topped with fig and goat's cheese or bacon and olives. End on a sweet high with a fruit-bejewelled loaf cake.
