Elle est entièrement dédiée aux macarons, spécialité de Nancy revisitée ensuite par un pâtissier parisien au début du siècle dernier. M le macaron propose les parfums les plus classiques : citron, chocolat, menthe, vanille, cannelle mais aussi les plus insolites : fraise tagada, huile d'olive vanille, violette, fleur d'orange... A déguster sans modération.

Everything about this place is so good!! It's such a cute little store and I've gone every single…read moreday of my trip. They have so many options for bread and pastries and sandwiches and everything I've tried is insanely good, particularly their baguettes and chocolate croissants. The staff is so kind and welcoming and I can't recommend this place enough!

Fantastic croissants and chocolate croissants comparable to the elite Le Pains de Idees in Paris…read more Their baguette, one of the many varieties, the long one I tried was a basic one but a lovely one. The Madeline's were lovely too. A nice bakery to say the least. My favorite element would be the ovens and the conveyer belt you can see behind the counter with the bread going in and out. Reasonable prices, excellent selection and cute location. Can't complain. We went in November on a Tuesday morning and there was no one in the shop, a few patrons arrived after us. If there was a line for this I definitely wouldn't wait, it's not that good. However I'm under the impression that this is the best bakery in the central historic part of Bordeaux.

Read their history first and then slowly take it all in when you arrive- it doesn't matter which flavor you choose: all are exceptional! A perfect stop for visitors because your home probably has nothing like it

Very cute bakery. Most of the bread is organic and looked absolutely delicious.

A very understated, traditional style bakery on busy Cours Portal in the Chartrons quartier of…read moreBordeaux, offering an array of freshly baked breads. You'll find the "traditional" baguette (my favorite) still warm, displayed amongst a variety of baguettes and freshly baked breads. The breakfast pastries (as we Americans like to call them) are divine. Simple, delicious and always fresh. The "pain aux raisin" is a favorite along with the traditional croissant and the heavenly almond croissant. Get there early and you'll see all the fixin's for the sandwiches freshly prepared and waiting for your selection. I've never indulged in their dessert style pastries though they too look inviting. I'm too busy shoving bite size pieces of warm baguette into my mouth to give it more thought. Lucky me, this little jewel is located just at the end of my street! I've experienced warm baguettes at all times of the day. You will not be disappointed if you pop into Le Pain d'Elise!

Lucky for us, this boulangerie was just a 2-minute walk from our AirBnB during our recent stay in…read moreBordeaux. Located right next to the Saint Michel cathedral, it faces the open square and is surrounded by several other cute restaurants and shops. There is no seating inside, but there is plenty of seating in the square. It's a popular spot so there is usually a line, but the lines moves quickly. Of course, order your daily baguette here (we did!). But in addition to their fresh baked breads, they also offer some pastries such as classic French croissants, cannelés, madeleines, and more. I found their prices to be extremely reasonable compared to other boulangeries in the area (we did our own boulangerie crawl), and the service was fast and friendly.

But they are even tastier. Apparently they have custard and rum inside but I couldn't taste either. Price is pretty reasonable at 6 for 6.5 Pain au chocolat was also fairly good.
