Three Great Bakeries in Montmartre
I live in Montmartre, Paris, and I love bread! Here are my favourite local bakeries.
Le Petit Pain
This small bakery opens at 6 am every day except Monday. The croissants here are amazing and very fresh. They also make very good sandwiches for lunch. The baker is very friendly and speaks some English. Their bread is not expensive - a baguette is only $1.20. The queue is very long on Sunday mornings!
Marie's Cakes
This is a new bakery near the Metro station. They make beautiful cakes and always have free samples to try. The shop is very modern with big windows. It opens from Tuesday to Saturday, 8 am to 6 pm. The prices are a bit high, but the cakes are worth it. My favourite is the chocolate cake with cherries.
The Old Bakery
This bakery is 50 years old! It opens every day and sells traditional French bread. The coffee is very cheap and you can sit outside. Many local people come here in the morning. They make special bread for holidays and festivals. At Christmas, their window is beautiful.
