Best Croissant in Paris

The jury has rendered its verdict. The ruling on the best croissant in Paris for 2013 has been announced by the foodie-centric Concours du Meilleur. I nearly wept with joy when I discovered that top honors went to 134 RdT, a boulangerie one block away from the apartment we’ve rented this September near the Place de Vosges in the Marais. (Last year this shop placed in the Top 10 for the Best Baguette in Paris!)

Here’s the decision, in order of ranking:

 • 134 RdT, 134 Rue de Turenne, 75003

 • Le Grenier à Pain des Abbessess, 38 Rue des Abbesses, 75018

 • Boulangerie L’Essentiel Mouffetard, 2 Rue Mouffetard, 75005 

 • Boulangerie des Belles Feuilles, 22 Rue de Belles Feuilles, 75016

 • Boulangerie Pichard, 88 Rue Cambronne, 75015
