A small bakery below Sacré-Coeur
Boulangerie Raphaëlle is an independent bakery on Rue Feutrier in Montmartre. Inside it is small.
Start with the croissant: crisp on the outside, soft within. The pain au chocolat holds its own beside it, and the baguette comes whole or filled, with the salmon and avocado version and the ham and butter sandwich. Past the classics, the flan, including a coconut version with raspberries, and the cream puffs are the sweet things to take away.
Everything is takeout, so you carry it out.
The prices stay modest for the neighbourhood, most of what you buy falling between €1 and €10, which makes it easy to assemble a lunch for very little. Weekends are the catch: the shop is closed on Saturday and Sunday, so a Monday to Friday visit is the only option.
Come for the croissant and the baguette, and treat it as a takeout stop rather than a sit-down bakery.

The pick list
What to bring home
Croissant
The plain croissant is the one to get first: crisp outside and soft within, and the reason to make the detour.
Pain au chocolat
Named the best travellers tasted in France, and locals come back for it too.
Baguette
Sold whole or filled as a sandwich, the baguette has a crisp crust, and it is eaten on the steps near Sacré-Coeur.
Flan
Slices of flan, including a coconut version with raspberries, are singled out as delightful.
Salmon and avocado baguette sandwich
A takeout sandwich worth returning for twice in one trip, and it pairs with a picnic in the basilica garden.
Who is this for
This suits anyone climbing to Sacré-Coeur who wants a baguette sandwich to carry into the garden in front of the basilica.
Franprix on Rue Seveste stays open until 10 pm every night, which covers the evening and weekend essentials this bakery cannot.
The verdict
The croissant and baguette are worth the detour, but the shop shuts all weekend.
