A bakery counter on Rue de Douai
Aux Delices Du Moulin is an independent bakery and pastry shop on Rue de Douai, in Pigalle. Coffee and a croissant on the way out, a quiche or a sandwich at midday, a box of macarons packed to carry home.
The croissant is the one to buy first, flaky and fresh, and the almond croissant is worth a dedicated stop on its own. The pain aux raisins holds a custardy, moist centre without losing its layers, and the chocolate eclair is rich enough that you may go back for a second. For a savoury bite, the quiche is bought alongside croissants on morning visits, and the chicken curry sandwich at €5.50 is a filling, good-value lunch.
The macarons are packed so they travel, which makes them the easy thing to carry away from Pigalle. Breads and pastries are sold over the counter, and the croque-monsieur can be warmed for you if you ask. The staff switch to English readily enough to help you practise your French.
Prices are bakery-counter prices: a sandwich at €5.50, and a card minimum of €3 if you are paying that way.
Some pastries here are soaked in sugar syrup, which makes them sweeter and heavier than the classic butter-led style. Come for the croissant, the almond croissant and the pain aux raisins.
