Paris's most famous sourdough bakery since 1932. The miche is iconic. The punition cookies are addictive.

Get This

The miche - the giant sourdough loaf that made them famous. Punitions (butter cookies). Tartines for lunch.

Best Time

Morning for fresh bread. Or lunchtime for a tartine at the tiny counter.

Know Before You Go

Third-generation family bakery. Apollonia Poilâne runs it now. The wood-fired ovens are in the basement. The miche ships worldwide but tastes best here. The punition cookies are dangerously good.
