A small bakery on Rue de Turenne

Tout Autour du Pain is an independent bakery on Rue de Turenne in Le Marais, a few steps from the quieter upper end of the neighbourhood near Republique. You notice the size first: a compact counter, pastries laid out, a queue that can stretch out the door once word gets around on a given morning.

The pain au chocolat is the one to buy first, around €1.90, and the croissant next to it comes away soft, buttery and flaky. The baguette tradition holds up as bread rather than a side note, and the almond croissant has a filling that tastes strongly of almond without tipping into sweetness. If you want the thing regulars single out, it is the suisse. A jambon beurre comte sandwich is made to order when it is not on the shelf, and mini caneles make an easy sweet extra on the way out.

The shop runs as a counter operation: you order, it is bagged, and you go. Some sandwiches are assembled on request rather than waiting on the shelf. There is no seating inside, but benches sit nearby on a quieter corner where you can eat a croissant straight away.

Prices stay in the low range for pastry and bread, with sandwiches and prepared dishes costing noticeably more. Bring a card, which is what the shop takes.

Tout Autour du Pain suits the traveler who wants a proper neighbourhood bakery breakfast in Le Marais and does not need to sit down for it. It also works if you are staying nearby and want bread and pastries for a hotel room or a picnic, since the early open means you can be in and out before the day starts properly.

What to look for

Pain au chocolat

Around €1.90, and the pastry to order first.

Croissant

Soft, buttery and flaky, the other reason to come.

Baguette tradition

Bread worth the trip on its own, not an afterthought to the pastries.

The pick list

What to bring home

  1. Pain au chocolat

    The pastry people keep coming back for, and at around 1.9 euros it is an easy add to any order.

  2. Croissant

    Soft, buttery and flaky, and for plenty of people this one pastry is reason enough to make the trip to this small shop.

  3. Baguette tradition

    The bread is fantastic, among the best breads around, and the baguettes are good enough that they are worth coming for on their own.

  4. Almond croissant

    The filling is the best part: strongly almondy and not too sweet.

  5. Suisse

    One regular singles this out as the standout in a shop already known for its croissants and pain au chocolat.

Who is this for

This suits a traveler who wants a real neighbourhood bakery breakfast in Le Marais and is happy to eat it standing or on a bench nearby. It also works for anyone staying close by who wants bread and pastries to take back to a hotel room or out on a picnic, since the early open lets you shop before the day gets going.

If you want to sit down and choose between many prepared foods rather than take a pastry from a counter, the covered market on Rue de Bretagne is the different need, best reached before 10am on a weekday. Marché couvert des Enfants Rouges.

The verdict

The pain au chocolat and croissant earn the stop, and it is a swing-by for the baking rather than a place to settle in.
