The French Bastards is hands-down the best pastry shop in Paris — nothing else comes close.
We tried several items and each one was exceptional. The sugar doughnut was on another level: soft, airy, perfectly coated, and honestly out of this world. The cinnamon roll was equally impressive — still delicious and tender even hours after we bought it, which says everything about their quality.
A highlight was the chocolate babka, rich and beautifully made. It was gifted to us by the staff as a kind gesture, which made the experience even more memorable. Their team is warm, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what they do.
If you love pastries, this place is an absolute must. Exceptional products, outstanding taste, and genuinely lovely service.
