More than just a pastry, the croissant is the king of the bakery and an icon of France<\/a>. So where better to try these flaky, buttery treats than the French capital? Paris is a pastry lover’s dream and no trip would be complete with a croissant (or two, or twelve…). You\u2019ll be amazed by all the charming p\u00e2tisseries and boulangeries where the smell of freshly baked goodies wafts through the air, and it\u2019s impossible to resist the call to find the very best croissants in Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honorable (and ever-so-haunting) mentions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We regret to inform you that the ultimate Paris itinerary is forever changed, thanks to the sad closure of two of the city’s best bakeries: Maison Pichard and Caf\u00e9 Pouchkine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maison Pichard made arguably one of the best traditional croissants in the city and did so for over two decades using Pamplie butter. The elegant Caf\u00e9 Pouchkine, once located on Place de la Madeleine, lured Parisians in with its Belle \u00c9poque decor, Charente-Poitou butter, and laid-back vibes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While these two icons are shuttered, there are still plenty of other places to find the best croissants in Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What is a croissant\u200b?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A croissant is a crescent shaped French Viennoiserie and the quintessential French pastry. It\u2019s yeast-based dough that\u2019s been rolled and layered with butter. You need not venture far through the French capital to find the best croissants in Paris; simply venture to bakeries like Maison Landemaine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where did croissants originate\u200b?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Although the croissant is as French as the Mona Lisa and Eiffel Tower, it\u2019s got a Viennese heritage. The kipferl<\/em> was first baked in Vienna, Austria, as far back as the 13th century. It didn\u2019t come to France until the 19th century, when in the 1830s, an Austrian named August Zang opened a Viennese bakery in the French capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nearly a century later, French baker Sylvain Claudius Goy altered the recipe to use lamented yeast dough instead of brioche dough, thus creating the first French croissant. Since then, renowned bakers like Cyril Lignac and Pierre Herm\u00e9 have perfected the pastry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When is National Croissant Day?\u200b<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

National Croissant Day is celebrated annually on January 30th, though you can celebrate the iconic French pastry any day of the year. During National Croissant Day in the US or UK, keep your eyes peeled for specials or deals at artisan bakeries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What makes a good croissant\u200b?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

What makes a good croissant is subjective but there are a few hallmarks: a crunchy crust and a soft center. And most importantly, the butter. Many bakeries sell croissant ordinaire, which is a croissant made with a margarine, and the croissant au beurre, which is made with high-quality (like AOP) butter. If you ask what is the perfect croissant, most will tell you that the best croissants in Paris are always croissant au beurre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How long do croissants last\u200b?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Croissant shelf life depends on what ingredients it\u2019s made with, but most croissants made with raw materials will only last one or two days. A croissant made with artificial ingredients or preservatives might last up to four or five days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do people eat with croissants?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can eat whatever you desire with a croissant, adding eggs to make it a breakfast sandwich or smothering it with chocolate for a mid-morning treat. Jam or a fruit spread is popular, too; just remember that croissants are made with butter so there\u2019s no need for an extra spread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the correct way to eat a croissant\u200b?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While this handheld pastry seems as simple to eat as a donut or bagel, you\u2019ll want to refrain from chomping down on a croissant in the same way. Instead, use your fingers to tear off bite-sized pieces and enjoy it bit by bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
