What to expect
Yann Couvreur Legendre is in Batignolles, on Rue Legendre near Brochant station. It is a shop in this part of the 17th, and you can sit down with a drink. You can also use click and collect here.
The vanilla flan is the pull here: it is creamy, and it can sell out before the end of the day. The Merveille brings hazelnut paste with fleur de sel, while the Entremets Lovés leans lighter, with salt and caramel notes. Pain au chocolat, chocolate fondant, and the counter chocolates round out the box-and-slice choices. The apple turnover is another option to keep in mind, and one slice of chocolate fondant is sold as a very small portion. A croissant costs €1.90, and three pastries can add up to over 9 euros.
Inside, the shop feels airy, and there is room to sit with a pastry or viennoiserie and a drink. The range includes pastries, chocolates, and confectionery. You can also take a box of terrier chocolates home: five pieces come to €12.50, for 65g exactly.
Arrive earlier in the day if the flan is the reason you are coming. The shop also offers pastries for takeaway.
What to look for
Vanilla flan
Creamy filling, puff pastry base, and a tendency to disappear before the end of the day.
Merveille
A hazelnut-and-fleur de sel cake.
Entremets Lovés
Lighter than the Merveille, with salt and caramel notes that make it feel fresher and less heavy.
The pick list
What to bring home
Flan
The vanilla flan is the one to get first, and it sells out before the end of the day.
Merveille
Built on hazelnut paste with fleur de sel, this is the signature cake and a favourite for returning customers.
Entremets Lovés
Light and refreshing, with salt and caramel notes; this one is the favourite of the range.
Pain au chocolat
The viennoiseries are amazing and a reason to return.
Chocolate fondant
Good for its flavour and its reputation, though the portion can feel small for the price.
Who is this for
This suits people who want the flan, then a second item like the Merveille or a chocolate box. It also fits people who like to sit down with a drink after choosing from the counter. If you are timing a stop around the flan, coming earlier in the day helps.
Marché de Levis is the better detour if you want a market stop for authentic Mexican and Latin American ingredients rather than a pastry counter.
The verdict
It is not the place for a no-fuss, plain bakery stop, because the draw is a sharper pastry detour with small portions; it still suits someone who wants the flan or a giftable sweet box in Batignolles.
