An artisanal modern bakery‑patisserie in the heart of the Latin Quarter, where creativity meets tradition to delight at affordable prices.
Description
Located at 5–7 Boulevard Saint‑Michel, steps from the famous fountain and the Saint‑Michel metro/RER station, BO&MIE – Saint Michel is the latest outpost of the creative bakery brand launched in 2017. Since its opening in November 2022 in the 5th arrondissement, the shop blends artisan production, inventive flavors, and affordable prices.
Upon entering, guests step into a modern, light‑filled interior featuring a cozy seating area with free wifi and a relaxed pop‑chill vibe typical of BO&MIE.
