Bretteau Jean-Marie

Best croissant I had in Paris. Light, crispy, layered, not oily, just perfect. Just a bakery though, no seating and no coffee.

Je né peux juger que la baguette et la tradition car je n’ai rien testé d’autre.
Dans ce triangle touristique de l’école militaire, du champs de mars et de la rue Cler, on est bien content de trouver une boulangerie aussi bonne !
Je suis tombée dessus par hasard, la queue qui finissait dans la rue a attiré mon attention (il n’y a pas de secret !)…
Leur tradition est dé-​li-​ci-​eu-​se! Si vous cherchez une bonne boulang’ dans le quartier — même si vous êtes à Invalides –, tester celle-​ci, elle vaut le coup de prendre le métro pour quelques stations !

Gorgeous pastries of many kinds at very reasonable prices. They were almost too pretty to eat, but they were delicious.

Our first morning in Paris, we walked out of our hotel and across the street and found this nice little cute bakery. A pain au chocolate and a petit croissant later, I’m sold, already planning on going back in the morning tomorrow. It’s just that good. I want to try something new tomorrow but still get the 2 items that I got already (btw, the 2 things cost 2.1 euros). The lady at the counter spoke English and was very nice about helping me.

Vrai boulangerie traditionnelle.
C’est tout fait maison, vive les artisans qui honorent leur métier

Wonderful chocolate almond croissants… I think the two in our bag weighed three pounds with all the butter and sugar! The kouign aman are a Breton treat as well, crunchy caramelized pastry working its way to a softer more delicate central spiral. Our eight year old nicknamed it pastry bacon, high praise indeed! The service was also very pleasant and efficient.

I got there at 7:30 am. They were just finishing putting out their window display of pastries. I bought a croissant, a chocolate croissant and a snail to share. The pastries were light, buttery and crunchy, all delicious! They had assortments of Macarons which I intend to try later, prices looked reasonable compared to others. The proprietors did not speak English but they were very friendly and polite to me speaking tourist French. They said there would be an English speaking person in later.

Yummy!!! Went here this morning and ordered Pain au Chocolate, petit croissant, Pain aux raisins, poulet et tomates quiche, café and bailey macarons for my husband and I for brunch. And oh my goodness!!! The best quiche I’ve had ever! The server at the restaurants we ate at recommended this bakery over all the others in the area… They were perfectly right. The service was so great too! Even with my broken French they were so polite an understanding. I’m so glad I went here. This place is SO MUCH better than the Artisan Boulanger Pâtissier down the street.

A true Parisian bakery. I had no idea croissants could be this good! Speaking a little French, even broken French, gets you a smile and ‘how can I help you’ look.
I order a few croissants for our first real morning breakfast in Paris and I should have doubled my order because the food is amazing. Pretty sure anything you order in here will exceed your expectations.

A recent visit to Paris and we were looking for something great on our last day for breakfast and to take away for our lunchtime later. We happened upon Bretteau Jean-​Marie as it was just doors down from our hotel but we were not disappointed. We bought a couple of sandwiches which were made fresh that morning and were wrapped up for us to eat later. Then they heated up a chicken and artichoke quiche which we shared for Breakfast. We also bought some sweets, chocolate croissant and brioche. All were really fresh and great tasting. The prices were not too expensive either. We were definately pleased and if we had found them prior we would have eaten there daily.

Claudine et Jean-​Marie Bretteau betreiben im schönen und reichen 7. Arrondissement in der Nähe der École Militaire eine erstklassige Boulangerie/​Pâtisserie. Als Spezialitäten bieten sie Petits fours, Macarons, Pains spéciaux und Pains surprises an. Auch die hauseigenen Schokoladenkreationen sind vorzüglich und sehr begehrt. Die aktuell angebotenen Erdbeertorten bestechen durch verführerisches Aussehen, Qualität und exzellenten Geschmack! Die wärmeempfindlichen Petits fours und Macarons werden in einer speziellen Kühlvitrine aufbewahrt! Das ist nicht überall Standard.
Wir decken uns hier gerne vor der Heimfahrt mit diversen Backwaren ein. Gestern z.B. mit Raisans, Macarons, Brioche u. dgl.
Madame bietet natürlich auch diverse gekühlte Getränke an, und zwar zu moderaten Preisen.
Madame Bretteau ist überaus charmant, freundlich und zuvorkommend. Es ist ein Vergnügen, bei ihr einzukaufen. Das Geschäft ist täglich von 7 – 20 Uhr ohne Unterbrechung geöffnet, samstags ist Ruhetag.
Die günstige Lage direkt an der Metro-​Station École Militaire ist ein weiterer Vorzug dieser sympathischen Patisserie.
