In the heart of Paris’s 5th arrondissement, just steps from the Seine and Notre‑Dame, Le Boulanger de la Tour is the bakery outpost of the legendary La Tour d’Argent. Opened in 2016, it delivers high‑end bakery tradition made accessible.

Step inside and find creamy marble, solid wood fixtures and an open bakery workshop. Organic breads such as the Baguette de la Tour, tourtes de meule, and Scandinavia‑style or multigrain loaves are crafted onsite with natural levain and organic flours from Moulins de Chars and Brasseuil.

Their buttery viennoiseries—massive croissants, caramelized palmiers, elongated apple turnovers—and classic French pâtisseries (éclairs, tarts, Paris‑Brest) never disappoint. Seasonal specialties and festive desserts add to the charm. 

The vibe is warm and unpretentious, with locals, Tour d’Argent fans and pastry lovers queuing up daily. The shop is wheelchair‑accessible, accepts group orders and offers home delivery.

Despite its elite affiliation, prices remain fair—€1.10 for a baguette tradition is exceptional at this level. Pastries remain affordable with outstanding taste.

Behind the scenes, baker Alexis Bourgeot, trained under renowned mentors, brings expertise to each loaf. Equipped with BONGARD ovens, fermentation is long and flavors are rich.

Practical info: open Mon–Fri 7 am–8 pm, Sat–Sun from 8 am to 8 pm. Payment by CB/Visa/Mastercard. Nearby parking at Maubert – Collège des Bernardins, and metro stations: Jussieu, Cardinal‑Lemoine, Pont Marie.

All in all, this is a must‑visit bakery in Paris, where artisanal quality meets prime location and value in a bright, authentic setting.
