Calixte

Unlike the boisterous Ile de la Cite where the obliging Notre Dame and excited tourists collide, Ile St. Louis is residential and has excellent shops worthy of a gourmand trip.

Calixte is one of those shops and it produces amazing croissants and pains au chocolat. A crust golden in appearance and flaky in texture disguises the moist inside all made with a fine disregard to the modern obsession over fat(butter.) The moist inside and flaky crust in each bite reminds you the simple pleasure of life.
