Bakeries in Paris?

I'm going to Paris later this month (March 2008) and want to visit as many bakeries as possible. Do you have specific suggestions for outstanding pastries or breads, esp. best croissants?

Clearly Poilane is already at the top of this list.

well basicly there are bakeries at every corner in France and specially in Paris.
you can try Kaiser it's rue de l'ancienne comédie near the Odeon metro station
Pain d'épice is located at the Ecole militaire station
au 140 is in the north of paris the nearest metro is Pyrenees (140 rue de belleville if i remember correctly)
le quartier du pain is rue de toqueville metro: Wagram
le moulin de la vierge the bread is made in an old oven. it's rue daguerre and the metro is Denfert Rochereau
Jean Pierre Cohier rue du faubourg saint honoré at the Ternes metro station.
these bakeries are a litlle bit more expensive than tradionnal one as the Bagette cost a little more than 1 euro a piece.
Bon appétit!!

Poilane is an overrated corporate enterprise and is always filled with tourists (French people don't set foot there anymore).

For a unique bakery experience, don't miss the following two bakeries:

1. La Bague de Kenza,106, Rue St Maur, 75011 Paris
01 43 14 93 15‎. It is the most unique bakery and has wonderful algerian pastries and breads made fresh every day. Go anytime day or evening for the most delicious algerian pastries! A fav of mine when I'm headed into Oberkampf.

2. La Boulangerie par Véronique Mauclerc. 83, Rue Crimée
75019 Paris 01 42 40 64 55 - This is a little-known bakery to visitors but very well-known to Parisiens. Why? It has one of only 4 remaining wood-burning ovens in Paris AND it is operated by a woman (Veronique). Come here for Sunday brunch! They are super-nice people and it's in an area most visitors to Paris avoid because it is racially mixed (jewish, arab, african). She specializes in artisanal breads but also has very good pastries and other typical bakery items.

I don't know the name of the bakery, but if you come out of Gare d'Austerlitz on the Jardin des Plantes side, cross over to McDonalds, turn left, pass in front of McDo, and walk down the street, there's a very good patisserie on the right side a block or so down the street. Everything was good, but the pain raisin was especially yummy.

On boulevard Arago, towards the Gobelins Metro station from rue de la Glaciere, there's a patisserie on a corner that makes terrific raspberry tarts.

Don't be scared off by people claiming that the French are rude. In my 35 days in Paris, my experience has been that if you approach them with respect and courtesy, you will get the same in return. Don't go there expecting everything to be exactly like it is at home (which is a mistake that many people make). It won't be, and that is the whole point of traveling.

If you find yourself in Beaubourg, there's a good boulangerie across St. Martin from the G20 supermarket. The lady behind the counter was not only polite, she was actually welcoming. We carried on quite a conversation at first in French, then when she saw I was struggling, she switched to English.

Hello, welcome to France!
You can try Ladurée, they are well known for their delicious macarons, yummy!
I hope you'll enjoy your stay!

Yes! Don't miss Poilane. There is another near Fauchon (that's also a must see) at Place de la Madelaine - can't remember the name - sorry. Just go and explore around Fauchon - it's a foodie must.
