One of the things that I will miss about France is the pâtisseries/boulangeries. I LOVE that I can buy so many pastries from a bakery and have it be less than 10€! I already know I will miss the fresh baguettes and croissants. They’re delicious, simple, and a nice little snack. I’ve been enjoying getting a few croissants and eating them for breakfast in the morning. Is this healthy? Who knows, but it’s good enough I say. I know that I will definitely be disappointed when I can’t get a good quality croissant for a reasonable price.
There’s a bakery on basically every single block here, and they all have lines around lunch. Everyone waits to get their sandwich before going somewhere to sit down and eat. Plus, the sandwiches are so practical, they’re filling but easy to take and travel.
A few summers ago, my mom decided she wanted to figure out the best croissant recipe from scratch, so I will definitely be doing my research and attempting to find a good recipe (grocery store croissants won’t cut it). Below are some photos of pastries I’ve eaten, missing quite a few because sometimes I have to eat first, not my phone.
