About this spot
This authentic boulangerie maintains the disappearing art of traditional French bread-making with stone-ground flours and wood-fired ovens. The rustic loaves develop thick, crackling crusts and complex flavors that transport you to rural France. Neighborhood regulars treat their daily bread selection like a sacred ritual, discussing the merits of each day's batch.
💡 Tips before you go
- Buy a whole loaf of their pain de campagne – it keeps for days and improves with age
- Come in the early afternoon when the second batch of bread emerges from the ovens
