Award‑winning artisan bakery in Paris’s 12th arrondissement, beloved for its exceptional baguettes and pastries.
Description
Located at 54 Boulevard de Reuilly in Paris’s vibrant 12th arrondissement, Les Boulangers de Reuilly is a celebrated artisan bakery-pastry shop. Since March 2020, owner-baker Makram Akrout has upheld an uncompromising dedication to traditional baking. In 2021, his baguette made with Label Rouge flour from Seine‑et‑Marne won the highly competitive Paris Best Baguette contest out of nearly 170 contenders.
Inside, space is limited which may result in short lines, but this compact layout adds charm and authenticity. Behind a well-stocked display, croissants, pains au chocolat, baguettes tradition and freshly made sandwiches invite selection. To save time, choose your items early in the queue.
The baguette, his signature product, boasts a golden crust, airy crumb, and pronounced wheat flavour. It's the same bread that earned Paris’s top baguette award in 2021. Pastries are also highly praised: buttery croissants and chocolates with tender pastry and crisp layers distinguish this bakery among locals and visitors alike.
The atmosphere is unpretentious and welcoming—a snapshot of neighborhood Paris. Regular customers include locals picking up morning bread, pastry lovers, and tourists in search of authenticity. Reviews average around 4.0/5 from nearly 470 ratings, with many praising consistent quality and taste. Some minor criticisms mention staff formality or presentation, but these are outweighed by the product quality.
