Just got home from London and Paris
The trip was a gift to our oldest grandson for his high school graduation--two years after the fact. Yup, COVID got in the way of that, too.
Since it was Josh's trip, we built it around his interests. Much fun and lots of great memories but bakeries didn't figure into the mix. In spite of that, my wife and I were both blown away by the bakeries/patisseries that we did notice in our perambulations. The creativity and craftsmanship of the bakers who turn out such beautiful loaves and pastries is beyond impressive.
Since most of our dining was done in restaurants, our exposure to baked goods was limited to what was available with our meals. Overall, quality was pretty good, some even very good. Even the French version of a cheeseburger that I had in one bar came on a bun that was delicious in its own right.
Assuming that we get back to Paris at some future date, I definitely want to devote part of our time there to a bakery crawl, or two.
