Flans, cookies, brioche, cinnamon rolls and cakes by renowned chefs can keep the tasting going along a single stroll. Suffice to say, you’ll want to come with a healthy appetite!
So, for a pre-show break, a weekend goûter or a gourmand’s tasting tour, here are the adresses sucrées to know in the 11e arrondissement de Paris.
