Patisseries of Paris

Stohrer is the oldest patisserie in Paris.  

The historic original shop is at 51, Rue Montorgueil, a vibrant pedestrian street that echoes Carnaby Street of London.  This is where rum babas were invented. Monet painted the street in 1878 in his picture called Rue Montorgueil, Paris, 1878.  The street lies in the 1st and 2nd arrondissement, with Les Halles in the south and Grands Boulevards in the North.  The M4 line (line 4, purple) goes through Les Halles. Grands Boulevards in on the M8 line (line 8, pink) and M9 line (line 9, pale green).

Philippe Conticini has a few stores in Paris, including Montmartre and Place Dauphine in the 1er arrondissement. He is known for his XXL croissants.
