Bread first, then the sandwiches
Boulangerie Maison R & S is an independent bakery on Rue Championnet, in Les Épinettes up in the 18th, and the first thing you meet inside is the bread. That is what the shop does best: a loaf with a proper crust and a crumb that holds, the sort of everyday bread you buy without thinking twice about it.
Order the sandwiches next. The range is wide, and each one is put together with care rather than slapped out; trying two in a week is easy to justify. The croissants are the item that brings you back, buttery and worth the walk, and the pain au chocolat is a staple you will find yourself tracking over time.
How it works is a plain neighbourhood counter: you queue, you point, you pay, you leave with a paper bag. There is no seating to speak of and no ceremony. The bread is handled by hand at the till, which is worth knowing if you are particular about that.
Prices sit at the higher end for the area. The pain au chocolat runs €1.60. A few items will land you between €5 and €20; a single pastry or a sandwich keeps you at the low end. Come before the morning rush if croissants are the point, because they are not always there.
What you get is bread that does not let you down and sandwiches that are made properly, in a shop that feels like the neighbourhood bakery it is.
