Cedric Grolet’s Croissants

Let's face it! One of the main reasons for visiting is France is to eat Croissants! Next time you visit Paris, head to 35, Avenue de l'Opéra and expect to queue a while! But the wait will be worth it!

Cedric Grolet has been the pastry Chef of the Meurice five star hotel for ten years and has received several distinctions including best Pastry Chef in the world in 2018...

As there are fewer tourists in Paris right now, when I pass the bakery during my Napoleon tour, I stop there with my tour participants and we have a Cedric Grolet croissant or pastry and you will understand I get one more for later to enjoy at home...
