Gourmet stroll in Saint-Germain-des-Prés

Visit of Saint-Germain-des-Prés through the great pastry and chocolate makers

If Saint-Germain-des-Prés is no longer the center of the Parisian artistic life, it remains a central point for gastronomy. Indeed, one will find in this district the greatest pastry cooks or chocolate makers of Paris: Georges Larnicol, Ladurée, Pierre Hermé... Sometimes one has more the impression to be in front of industrialists of pastry making than of true craftsmen. The best pastry chef is undoubtedly Pierre Hermé the "King of macaroon" he just got the title of best pastry chef in the world in 2016.

The flagship product is the Meert waffle. This is not a traditional waffle. It's actually a flat waffle filled with sugar, butter and Madagascar vanilla.
