The Editor

Every summer, it’s the same old story: Paris empties out, the shutters come down, and your beloved bakery goes off to soak up the sun in Brittany. What’s the result? You find yourself wandering the streets with just one thought on your mind: a real loaf of bread, a genuine croissant, a pastry worth its name. But here’s the good news—we’ve put together a list of spots that keep their ovens going while August takes charge.

Sain Bakery 

No way we're closing up shop when we've become a beloved institution! Maxime's sourdough bread and seasonal pastries keep delighting the Parisians who are still on the cobblestones.
