Visitor Tips

• Arrive early. The best items — especially bread and viennoiserie — sell out by late morning. Between 7am and 10am gives you the full selection.
• Most bakeries operate as walk-in only with counter service. Cash is handy at smaller venues, though most accept cards.
• If buying a loaf, ask what was baked that morning. Many boulangeries bake in batches, and a loaf straight from the second bake is worth timing your visit for.
• Weekends are busier. If the bakery is well-known, expect queues on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Weekday visits are calmer.
