The bakery on Rue de Lévis
La Maie des Anges is an independent bakery on Rue de Lévis in Batignolles, a shop that has stayed afloat alongside the neighbourhood's other bakeries and, since a renovation, fits more customers inside. The bread is good: long baguettes, some seeded.
The traditional baguette is the one to buy first. The pumpkin seed baguette is the local signature. For something sweet, the chocolate pistachio roll comes generously filled, and the pistachio cake is named alongside the pumpkin seed baguette as a reason to come in.
The shop runs as a bakery counter with pastries and viennoiserie, plus a selection of savoury options. Croissants and pain au chocolat are among the picks, the pain au chocolat praised for the chocolate inside. Celebration cakes and large orders are taken at the counter, and a tiered cake or an opera cake for 15 to 20 people comes in at good value.
Prices are ordinary bakery prices: a traditional baguette is €1.20. The morning is the time to come for the bread, and the shop is open from 7 am every day including Sunday, with a 7 pm close on Sunday and 8 pm the rest of the week.
It suits anyone staying in or passing through Batignolles who wants a proper baguette and a pistachio pastry.
