Tout Autour du Pain — Restaurant in Paris

tout autour du pan,134 Rue de Turenne, 75003 Paris, France i went for walk in the square du temple elie-wiesel early one morning as the girls were asleep and past this pâtisserie by happenstance on the way back to the apartment on a roundabout way to get to walk around Picasso museum along the Rue de Thorigny, this pâtisserie had steady flow of of costumers in and out yet only one person ahead of me, the attendant spoke English and was very kind. I purchased one croissant and two chocolate croissants and ate half a chocolate one on the way to the museum,

you know that feeling as an adult when you taste something new for that first time.? your eyes close and you hold that taste in your mouth as long as you can, this was one of those times, I stopped walking, thinking, hearing, listening, maybe even breathing as the flavors filled my mouth and slowly melted in one.

We also had the jus d'orange - machine press in front of you. V nice and more of a statement of the quality of orange than anything else. Still better than a few surprisingly poor carton offering I have...

Saw the good reviews so had to walk up to this area and try it. There was a short line outside with 6-7 people in it as the inside fits maybe 2-3 in line.
