Product Description
Synopsis
A guide to the bakeries of Paris, to the Paris of the Parisians. The authors cover 225 neighbourhood bakeries, arranged by arrondissement, and with detailed directions on how to get there. Each entry gives the history of the bakery and details on their signature breads and baked goods. Also, there are 50 recipes to bring the heart and soul of France back home, long after the stay is over.
From the Author
A fascinating option for the visitor to Paris.
"Boulangerie" features 223 bakeries representing all 20 arrondissements (Districts of Paris)with directions on how to reach them on the Metro, Paris' excellent subway system. Most bakeries have tempting choices of take-out food, suggesting a picnic in a park close-by, to enjoy a true Parisian lunch. There's a touch of history in this book too as the boulangers themselves have noted points of interest in their neighborhood.

An Essential Pre-Paris-Trip Book, 28 Nov 2000
By Anand B. Karnad - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Boulangerie: A Pocket Guide to Paris's Famous Bakeries (Paperback)
This book is a jewel. It made our first Paris trip that much more special by introducing us to some exceptionally fine bakeries. This pocket-sized book not only gives you a listing of the fine Boulangeries (organized by arrondisements, includes the address & phone number, closest metro or bus stop, when they are open, and what's special about each) but tells you where to go (nearby picnic spots) and eat the bread and goodies that you buy at these Boulangeries -- this is what truly made the book special. We tried "Robineau" in the 7th and "Gerard Beufort" in the 5th as listed in this book and we were not disappointed. Both had wonderful baked goods, the former within a short walk to the Champ de Mars and Eiffel, and the latter, a 3-minute walk away from Arenes de Lutece, the ancient Roman amphitheater which is a perfect picnic spot. You could use this book to plan your breakfasts and picnic lunches as a nice balance to the Bistro-dining in Paris.

A TIME MANAGEMENT NECESSITY, 16 Jun 2001
By Martin - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Boulangerie: A Pocket Guide to Paris's Famous Bakeries (Paperback)
Let's face it, whether you are visiting Paris for the first or the fifth time, there never seems to be enough time to squeeze everything in. Everyone should take at least one evening or one afternoon for a 3-star dinner or lunch; but, when you are busily going from sight to sight, who has that kind of time? This book is perfect for letting you find bakeries with a wonderful range of foods you can carry away with you. I found that the descriptions of each bakery carried their specialities and any unusual items they carried. The first time you find a conveniently located establishment when you are trying to get from point A to point B, you will know what a treasure it is. The size makes it very convenient to take with you as well.

Nothin' like 'em 'round here., 21 Sep 2002
By Handuma ": - )" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Boulangerie: A Pocket Guide to Paris's Famous Bakeries (Paperback)
I never knew how grand the bakeries of Paris where until I read Boulangerie! I wish we had a similar tradition in my home town. I love bread and soup above all other foods! Some day, when I visit Paris, I'll search the city with a copy of this pocket guide in my hand. I also enjoyed the pictures of the boulangeries of Paris on the authors Web site: Dorseybooks.com
