A bakery counter in Grands Boulevards
L'Éclair de Marius is an independent bakery-pastry shop on Rue du Faubourg Montmartre, in the Grands Boulevards neighbourhood. You walk in and find a counter of éclairs, tarts and breads, with a dated decor and a steady flow of people stopping in from the street.
Start with the lemon éclair: its filling is bright and sharp against the glaze. The raspberry éclair brings a softer fruit note, and the pistachio one is nutty and rich. Beyond the éclairs, the apricot tart is a good sweet pick, the baguette has an authentic chew, and the croissants are flaky and buttery. The quiche, including a salmon version, makes a solid savoury bite, and the cookie is a simple sweet extra.
The shop works as a quick counter stop rather than a sit-down café. You order at the counter and take your pastry away; service is quick, and the staff are welcoming and speak English. The pastries are displayed openly without a case, which is worth knowing if you are particular about that.
Prices sit in the €1–10 band, with pastries and breads at the lower end and larger items toward the top. It is open every day from 7 am, including Sundays and holidays, which makes it useful when other bakeries are shut. Wednesday closes at 7 pm rather than 8 pm.
Prices are high for what you get. If you want a convenient, friendly bakery open when others are not, it fits.

The pick list
What to bring home
Lemon éclair
The lemon éclair is the pick; it is one of the pastries people single out here.
Raspberry éclair
get the raspberry éclair; it is one of the pastries that comes up again and again.
Pistachio éclair
the pistachio éclair is the one to try if you are working through the éclair case.
Baguette
the baguette is the benchmark here, a loaf in the middle of a touristy area.
Croissants
the plain croissant is the safe order, with an authentic flavor that builds as you chew rather than hitting on the first bite.
Who is this for
This suits travelers who want a quick pastry stop near Grands Boulevards and need somewhere open on a Sunday or holiday. It also works for anyone craving a lemon or raspberry éclair and a baguette to carry away, without sitting down.
If you want a prize-winning traditional baguette rather than a quick éclair, La parisienne on Rue du Faubourg Poissonnière is the nearby bakery to seek out.
The verdict
It is a convenient, friendly bakery open every day, but the high prices mean it is not the most precise pastry stop in the area; it still suits anyone who needs a quick éclair or baguette when other places are closed.
