Review
Éclairs, kiwi tarts, and macarons.
In fact, it was this eclair that got me hooked on visiting bakeries and sweets in Paris.
I was really surprised the moment I ate it.
The macaroons were also a complete surprise to me, as they were completely different from anything I had eaten before.
It was a long time ago, but even though I had been to Paris many times before, I had never been interested in sweets.
However, I heard that there was a good bakery, so I just dropped by here, Sébastien Gaudard.
Since then, every year I try to go to any bakery or cake shop in Paris whenever I hear about a good one.
In addition to sweets, Sébastien Gaudard’s breads are also very good, having been voted the number one croissant in Paris by Figaro magazine.
At the time, it was so popular that the croissants were sold out when I visited the store for the first time because it had become a hot topic in magazines.
This is the croissant I bought a few years later when I was there in 2019.
The macarons are as delicious as ever.
The éclairs and desserts are as delicious as ever.
The tags on the products also have a retro feel and are very stylish.
The desserts are often quite scarce depending on the time of day you visit, so if you are visiting for the first time, try to arrive early.
Summary
How was it?
The overall rating is as follows on a 5-point list.
Sébastien Gaudard
Taste:★★★★☆
Exterior: ★★★★★
Interior: ★★★★★
Price:★★★★★
Store clerk : ★★★☆☆
Ease of purchase: ★★★★☆
Location: ★★★☆☆
As for the taste, as I remember it at the time, it was unquestionable.
These days, I am not sure if the taste has declined a bit or if the level of other bakeries has risen, but I no longer feel that it is exceptionally delicious like it used to be.
I have no complaints about the exterior or interior, and I give it 5 stars.
I was also very impressed with the cleanliness and ease of viewing products in the interior.
The price is reasonable.
I was not particularly impressed with the clerk, so I give it a normal 3 stars.
As for the ease of purchase, the products were easy to see, but it was very crowded, so I gave it 4 stars.
The location is not far from the center of the city, which is not bad, but there are no particular tourist attractions, so it is not a place to come for regular sightseeing unless you are aiming for Sébastien Gaudard.
Also, you will be entering a slightly unsafe area, so please walk carefully around your personal belongings when visiting.
Anyway, if you like bread and sweets, you should visit this store at least once.
Thank you again for reading to the end of this article.
