The best baguette in Paris 2025: Mickaël Reydellet crowned king of baguettes in Paris!

The best baguette in Paris in 2025 comes from Mickaël Reydellet, artisan at La Parisienne bakery (10th arrondissement), winner of the prestigious Grand Prix de la baguette awarded on March 27 by the City of Paris.

The Grand Prix de la baguette de Paris 2025 was awarded this Thursday, March 27, to Mickaël Reydellet, artisan of the La Parisienne bakery, located in the 10th arrondissement. This prestigious title, awarded from among 187 competing baguettes, celebrates the excellence of traditional French bread.

Imagine strolling through the streets of Paris, the warm, crisp smell of a fresh baguette in your hand... This daily dream becomes reality thanks to passionate artisans, and in 2025, it's Mickaël Reydellet who takes top honors in the Grand Prix de la baguette de tradition française, organized by the City of Paris. His bakery, La Parisienne, nestled on rue du Faubourg Poissonnière in the 10th arrondissement, became the epicenter of Parisian gourmet delights.

This emblematic competition, chaired this year by Nicolas Bonnet Oulaldj, deputy mayor of Paris in charge of crafts, judged 187 baguettes according to strict criteria: appearance, taste, baking, crumb, honeycombing, as well as size and salt content. A discerning jury of professionals, journalists and four randomly selected local residents praised Mickaël Reydellet's baguette for its irreproachable quality, reflecting exceptional know-how.

But the Grand Prix is more than just symbolic recognition: it comes with a 4,000 euro prize, and above all a highly coveted role: official supplier to the Élysée Palace for a year. A rare honor for a baker who upholds the values of Parisian craftsmanship.

The official award ceremony will take place on May 7, during the traditional Fête du Pain, in the presence ofAnne Hidalgo, Mayor of Paris. A celebration open to all, which promises a convivial and gourmet moment in honor of our bakers.

And for those curious enough to sample the creations of the finest artisans, here are the other bakeries honored this year: Aux Délices du Palais (14th), Boulangerie Guyot Ferreira (5th), Aux Délices de Glacière (13th), La Petite Alsacienne (14th), Graine (20th), Le Marquis de Saint-Cyr (17th), Le Délice de Bagnolet (20th), Le Moulin de la Croix-Nivert (15th), and Boulangerie Alexine (17th).

A great opportunity to explore Paris and discover the capital's best baguettes, to be enjoyed solo, as a couple or with the family. And because a good gesture always goes hand in hand with a good deed, the baguettes not consumed during the competition were redistributed to the La Chorba association, a loyal partner of the event.
