Our fine pastries
We prioritize tasty and healthy food, making all our products on-site, using the best raw materials sourced through short supply chains, sometimes directly from the producer (farm milk from the Beaulieu Estate in Seine and Marne) and mainly from organic farming (100% of flour, milk, eggs, seeds, dried fruit and chocolate, etc.) Our commitment to a minimal range is the guarantee of exceptional quality. At our bakery, you can sample delicious pies filled with various types of fruit depending on the season. Pains au chocolat with melting chocolate, fresh apple turnovers, juicy but with crisp pastry, to delight your taste buds.

Du Pain et des Idées is the story of Christophe Vasseur, a passionate self-taught artisan who left everything behind in 2002 to open this authentic Parisian bakery dating back to 1875. Du Pain & des Idées is about a purist baker expressing his craft, where the best raw materials, produced mainly from organic farming, are transformed in line with ancient techniques into tasty and healthy products. This approach requires a minimal range, of simply bread and pastries.
The house specialities are the chocolate-pistachio snail, the fresh apple turnover, the baker’s flan, the orange blossom brioche and the famous “Pain des Amis” (bread of friends), a registered trademark. All these products are the exclusive creations of Christophe Vasseur. There has been a lot of talk in the press and online about a certain Jean-Paul « photo » Mathon. Take the time to find out the truth…! The original is by Christophe Vasseur and du Pain et des Idées.

A BOOK NOT JUST
ABOUT BREAD BUT ALSO …
REVIVING
THE GREAT TRADITION
OF ARTISAN BAKING
Fascinated by bread since childhood and an unconventional baker, Christophe Vasseur wanted to write a book that reflected his own, slightly atypical image, by highlighting a wide range of baking-related professions.
Of course, bread is front and centre, but where would it be without the work of seed growers, farmers, millers or pastry chefs? Tribute should also be paid to winegrowers – a close relation of the baker’s profession – who are the masters of fermentation, the key to great taste.
Not forgetting chefs, who also work with the land, satisfying their guests by elevating Mother Nature’s produce.
In short, you’ll discover a multitude of professions and characters without the passion of whom, nothing produced would be anyway near as good, exceptionally good. And there’s also some recipes too!
