Carl Marletti, the unmissable pastry shop in the Latin Quarter

If you are crazy about desserts, here is a Parisian patisserie that you should not miss. Let's meet in the Latin Quarter to discover the delicious creations of chef Carl Marletti. In this sober and elegant gourmet temple, the pastry shops make us look at them and the choice is quite complicated.

But beware, when you enter the world of Carl Marletti, don't expect to find something you've already seen. Here, even the greatest classics of French pastry are revisited thanks to the know-how of the chef who has worked in the most prestigious addresses in the capital, from the Maison Lenôtre to the mythical Café de la Paix. The result is an experience full of flavors, with a play of textures that literally makes us addicted.

Among the address's must-haves is the raspberry, covered with a thin layer of marzipan that refreshes our taste buds through an explosion of sweetness and fruity flavors. The mille-feuille, the Mont-Blanc and the Paris-Brest Carl Marletti style are also not to be missed.

The original creations of the pastry chef are also worth the detour. Our favorites? The very greedy Carioca, composed of coconut shortbread, a coffee creamer, a peanut praline heart with a coconut milk emulsion with lime, and the Plume, a creation as light as its name indicates, based on asoft almond cookie, a Madagascar vanilla mousse and a vanilla creamer heart flavored with Tonka bean .

Here, Carl Marletti can treat you to very gourmet creations without them being heavy, offering you light pastries without them being bland. The balance of the flavors is meticulous to guarantee a tasting that approaches perfection.
