Although we ran around Paris on a mission to eat and compare what were known to be the city's best croissants, this Franco-Korean boulangerie close to where we stayed won our hearts and became a somewhat regular morning fixture for my wife and I during our time there.
Its owner, pastry chef Yong Song Seo has won some awards and recognitions for his butter croissant (which is superbly flaky btw!) but Mille et Un seems to be really known for the smooth black sesame flan and madeleines that patrons seem to go nuts for - those two items are very much that fusion of Korean and French tastes that this particular boulangerie is known for.
And honestly, we went nuts over those items too.
Also surprising was how the modest looking exterior or Mille et Un belies a relatively spacious and modern looking interior for a Parisian boulongerie. Also pretty darn good were the lattes I got almost every morning and prices that didn't break the bank! Overall, Mille et Un is a delight that will provide you with tasty delights in a not so visited District 6 of Paris. But perhaps this is your reason to come! read more
