2. Poilane
Baking baguettes and pastries since 1932, Poilane is a Paris staple when it comes to daily bread. In fact, this family-run bakery continues to rely on its original wood-fired oven to churn out some of the best loaves in Paris. Poilane is a favorite among Parisians, with locations in le Marais, Saint-Germain-des-Prés and near the Eiffel Tower. If it’s popular with the locals, you know its good. Fans of this bake shop routinely rave about its butter cookies, so don’t leave without ordering some.
