Paul

Museum food tends to be bad, but apparently that’s not the case in Paris and especially in the Louvre! Paul is an excellent bakery snack stop for all Louvre visitors.
With so much to see in the museum, your legs are bound to get tired and your stomach hungry even as your craving for fine arts remain relentless. Fear not though, because Paul got some excellent freshly-​baked pastries to refuel your physical self! Despite being in one of the world’s top museums, the inside bakery is not overpriced with each pastry costing nearly the price as other bakeries in the city. The best part is that the baked goods are delicious and definitely worth it!
Re-​entry is allowed in the Louvre, but the security can be a hassle to go through again if there is a huge crowd so getting a lunch break outside can be a chore. Therefore, if if there is already an affordable delicious food solution inside the museum, why not?

Great food on the go. I had a sandwich, pastry, and coffee to fuel up before touring the Louvre. All were delicious and I’d go back.

Amazing place. This Paul is placed in very nice spot near to Louvre pyramid but also you are still in Jardin de Tuileries so you have nice feeling of being in some greener part of Paris. And still you are in the middle of this big city. I did really enjoy that moment in nature watching people passing through and you are just enjoying your moment with café and some croissants for example.
I love their baguettes or croissants. They are so tasteful. Also their chairs and tables are very few so most of people just buying their chosen food and going ahead in city or just sit on the grass.

Today I stopped here for a quick lunch. I had the grande caffe crème, sandwich mixte, and apricot tart. The caffe and tart were delicious. The sandwich was good but they could have added something to make it great. Veggies, a condiment, something!

Leckere belegte Baguettes, aber mit rund 5 Euro schon recht teuer.

Paul est la meilleure boulangerie dans tout Paris. Tout simplement delicieux!

Du Paul quoi. Cher mais bon.
Idéal pour profiter du jardin des Tuileries.
Plein de touristes à l’heure du dej. et peu de tables.

D’une manière générale, j’aime beaucoup les boulangeries Paul. Sandwiches, pain ou viennoiseries, je suis un vrai français traditionnel et fais souvent une razzia dans ces magasins. Malheureusement, mon porte monnaie né suit pas toujours car c’est très très cher par rapport à la quantité.

Neben den über 30 Filialen in Paris gibt es auch noch etliche mobile Verkaufsstände an touristischen Knotenpunkten. So auch hier zwischen Louvre und Tuilerien, wo täglich zehntausende von Passanten vorbeikommen.
Paul, 1889 in der Nähe von Lille gegründet, hat heute über 330 Filialen weltweit, auch auf einigen Autobahnraststätten.
Trotzdem finde ich, dass die Qualität der Backwaren in Ordnung ist, kein Vergleich mit unseren Bäckereiketten.
Bei großem Hunger suche ich nicht immer eine meiner bevorzugten Boulangerien/​Patisserien in Paris auf, sondern greife auf die guten Produkte von Paul zurück. Das Angebot an Brot, Kuchen, Fougasse, Brioche, Sandwiches, Macarons u. dgl. ist vorzüglich.
Wenn man stundenlang im Louvre unterwegs war, wirkt der hier abgebildete Verkaufsstand wie eine Oase.
