| 6 equal pieces for 6 equally hungry people |
Remember this post, when I mentioned that there were two bakeries we frequented for breakfast? Bretteau Jean-Marie is the other one. For reasons I don't understand, neither of these bakeries have proper signs with their names on them. (I had to do some research before I discovered the name of this one.) It seems as if all the bakeries are either "Artisan Boulanger" or "Boulangeries-patisseries". It's as though they accept the fact that they're practically indistinguishable from the thousands of amazing bakeries in Paris. Yet, somehow it's weirdly comforting to know that they're content to submerge themselves in anonymity as long as they get their regular flow of happy customers.
Each time we visited Bretteau Jean-Marie, we were served by a sulky, no-nonsense lady in a white apron whose frosty exterior belied her freshly baked breads and cakes. But in the end, much like the chinese restaurants at Bayswater in London, what's a sour face when the food is so good that you know you'll come back for more?
