Located at 91 Rue de Rivoli, directly opposite the Louvre, BO&MIE Louvre‑Rivoli positions itself as Paris’s largest artisan bakery‑patisserie. With 400 m² over three floors, including 250 m² dedicated to sales and more than 80 seats, this flagship offers a bright, cozy setting with Scandinavian décor—featuring large windows, natural wood, rattan and indoor greenery.

Founded by Ferrandi‑trained chefs Magali Szekula and Jean‑François Bandet, BO&MIE emphasizes artisanal production, no additives or preservatives, and sourcing from local short‑chain flour mills (Moulins de Chars, Label Rouge). Damien Dedun, a double European baking champion, crafts naturally leavened breads (country loafs, small spelt, olive tiger bread, apricot‑cranberry), while pastry chef Nicolas Wickart creates inventive sweets: vanilla flan, praline‑chocolate fingers, praline‑filled madeleines, cookie shots, and tartlets.

At BO&MIE, visitors can enjoy take‑away or dine in: fresh warm bread, butter viennoiseries (croissant, pain au chocolat, cinnamon rolls), seasonal tarts or Instagram‑friendly creations like cacao‑raspberry croissants or ultra‑vanilla flan—all best‑sellers loved for their flavor and presentation. The team focuses on consistency, transparency, high‑quality ingredients, and fair pricing accessible to both tourists and locals.

The atmosphere is warm and multi‑purpose: ideal for breakfast, a texture‑rich snack, quick lunch (with savory options), or a relaxing moment overlooking the Louvre. The décor ensures a cozy vibe, and seats facing the street invite people‑watching in the bustling quarter.

The clientele is mixed: tourists exploring the museum, locals and office workers craving traditional Viennoiseries or bold breads, and food lovers drawn to artisanal quality. A fun anecdote: upon opening in October 2020 the bakery claimed the title of Paris’s biggest—a challenge it surpassed in both scale and quality. Some first‑time visitors have reportedly gotten lost in its floors, impressed by how spacious a Paris bakery can be!
