In Search of the Best Croissant in Paris

Eating a croissant in Paris is one of life’s great pleasures. Some might even say (myself included) that it is up there with graduating school forever, winning the lottery or a long shower after a camping trip. Yup, they are that good.

When in Paris this year I set myself the task of eating my way around Paris’ best bakeries and patisseries in search of the best croissant in Paris. A task I was more than happy to undergo in the name of research marketing. So to save yourself the trouble (though really I’m sure you’d happily do the same), here are the winners of where you will find the best croissants in Paris!
