I hate to be the naysayer after reading so many great reviews about the desserts/meringues at this…read moreplace. I walked by this place and saw all the beautiful meringues on display, and loved watching the pastry chefs work their magic with the mixers, making each dessert, and going inside and smelling all the sweet sugar and freshly baked goods. After reading all the rave reviews, I decided I wanted to try this and we got the praline flavor. The meringue is basically the base of the dessert and then it's topped with a chantilly cream which is really fresh and then it's topped with nuts or chocolate flakes, depending on the flavor. We got the praline one and it was topped with almonds and hazelnuts. While everything was really fresh and the pastry was light, it was just really sweet. Neither of us were really craving more, and we were glad we had only just gotten one to share. I can't remember the exact price but it was somewhere around 2,50-3€. For me, I'd much rather have an ice cream or some other kind of French patisserie. The desserts here are certainly unique and you probably won't find things like this elsewhere, but just not for me. I wouldn't come back here nor recommend it.

A gorgeous bakery and patisserie in Lyon. The breads and pastries here are excellent and we loved…read moreeverything we bought here. They have nice choice of baguettes and loaves. They have a nice selection of cakes and pastries and they make a wonderful Lyonnaise Brioche, a brioche stuffed with red colored pralines. I thought I was in heaven, this stuff is so good :-) They have a wonderful lemon tart with meringue and it also tasted amazing. You can get coffee and something to eat here and there are some seats inside. Staff are nice but little less friendly. Only French is spoken here and like most French bakeries they expect you to know everything when it comes to ordering :-) Happily come here again for delicious bread and pastries :-)

This place was an epic fail for us. It was open on Sunday morning when most places are not so we…read morechose to come here. All I wanted was a decent plain croissant and a cappuccino and both were a major disappointment. The plain croissant reminded me of something I would get at a hospital or a bakery that labels things as croissants when they are clearly not. No flaky outer layer...just the same as what you find inside. So sad. As if this wasn't enough of a disappointment, as my husband and I sat down to enjoy our cappuccinos (sadly made from a machine and not espresso as I had hoped), we discovered that neither of our coffees actually had any coffee in them and were literally just the milk. The only reason this place gets any stars is I did also purchase a bread with raisins and nuts and I thought it was actually ok. If Sunday this is your only option...think twice or maybe just avoid the croissants and coffee as it seems other comme y'a indicate the actual pastries are ok.

The best bread I had during my 6 weeks in France, during which I visited many a boulangerie/…read morepatisserie. This was mainly a bakery (boulangerie) but their bread was incredible - perfect, crusty, crunchy crusts. Their rye bread (avec farine de siegle) still blows my mind. Comes in a large or small circular loaf with thick, textured crust and an impressively soft, moist center. Prices are comparable to other bakeries (which are pretty similar across France for bread). If you're looking for fresh bread in this area I absolutely recommend you come here !

Upon our very first visit, we were treated very kindly and were very happy with the pastries and coffee we ordered. We even ordered a macaroon to take with us (Pistachio) and it was the best we have ever had. We have made sure to visit Paul almost every day for breakfast or lunch, as it has earned a special place in our hearts! We have tried many of the various pastries and tarts and have been impressed with each one. We have tried more macaroon flavors as well and are having trouble picking our favorite!
