Since I’ve subscribed here I’ve learned so much. All the croissants you had looked amazingly delicious. Thanks for pointing out the ‘healthy’ ones 😀as I’d be concerned in how much they’d affect the digestive track but when in Paris do as anyone would give them a try.. Merci 👏👏👏

[@frenchxican_a]

They are not as heavy as you think! And with all the walking, is a “piece of cake” to digest 🙃

[@robinps52]

Saturday mornings with Les Frenchies, what could be better! I wish I’d had a pain as chocolat to enjoy along with you here at home, but I’ll definitely keep the 4 o’clock time open later this year when I visit again. Merci Colleen, Antoine & Sylvie!

I love you two! I got to cross Paris off of my bucket list in 2016. It quickly became my favorite city in the world!

Thanks for making my heart so happy! ✌🏼🤟🏼

[@bengt_axle]

The reason why croissants, pain au choco and anything that is laminated is so good in France is because they use real butter (and good quality) and flour that is not bleached or over processed. They give it time to proof (ferment). In North America, there is LOTS of supermarket products that are using vegetable oils and a ton of additives to speed up the process.

This map has shown all the places I’ve gone to every time I go to paris and I’ve been going back every year for the last decade. The map is quite filled now, and lots of your suggestions have ended up on my map. Du pain et des idées was the last Boulangerie I went to in paris! Me and my friends also ate at that exact same counter outside. The pain au chocolates were indeed the bomb.

Aside from obvious tourist traps. Half the fun of the best is finding it yourself. I’ve been to a few recommendations. And they were so hyped up that all it did was disappoint. The best croissants my wife and I had, so far, was actually in Marseille. Off the beaten track. Didn’t know where we were. Lost. Went into some little bakery. Got some croissants and they were amazing!

The best chocolate croissant is in Paris. My kids and i still remember how flaky and crispy the croissant. We ate chocolate croissant every morning when we are there. We live in small town here in the US its hard to find good crispy chocolate croissant. But Trader Joes have frozen chocolate croissant that you bake at home, its made from France. And it is very good. Thank you for the video those pastries looks delicious.

I love all things French (which may explain why I married a French woman) And of course; I love French food; I'm a trained chef. But, let's be honest; there's a lot of dough involved: baguettes, croissants, quiches, pains, sandwiches, crêpes, brioches, tartes, gateaux, choux etc. All of which are tasty and moreish but should be “consommer avec modération”.

With these tastings, and the bistros before, my thoughts are of a French cookbook that is called something like Aunt Marie's Cuisine "La cuisine de ma Tante Marie". That is what a French stay at home parent might use and when they were good, it would be as great as what we see in these videos. In cooking we also have a high altitude version that, in France, derives from another cookbook (Escoffier). How about exploring that level - Haute Cuisine - and reporting about it?
