Break Your Fast Along Canal St. Martin <\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Start your day at Christophe Vasseur\u2019s artisanal boulangerie Du Pain et Des Id\u00e9es<\/a>. This Parisian staple serves up rustic breads and traditional pastries with dreamy interiors to match. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The line might snake out the door depending on when you arrive, but it\u2019s packed with regulars and moves fast. Luckily, the interior aesthetics are a treat for the eyes while you wait. Gilt-framed mirrors line the walls, drawing the eye upwards to an exquisitely painted ceiling. Meanwhile, trays piled high with breads and pastries both sweet and savory serve as a visual buffet. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

So what should you try? Their chausson \u00e0 la pomme fra\u00eeche<\/em> (apple turnover) is a standout choice, but their snail-shaped viennoiseries<\/em> are the house special. Du Pain et Des Idees crafts these spiraling pastry pinwheels with a variety of seasonal flavor, but you can\u2019t go wrong with the chocolate pistachio. Take your sweet treat to go and find a spot to sit along the hip Canal St. Martin just at the end of the street. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
