Wonderful informative video about these traditional, beautiful, family owned bakeries. "1978 : Dans les boulangeries historiques de Paris" youtu.be/XW63Dqg5IgI
"The Bakery on the Corner". A most beautiful French bakery, near Bastille, where - last time we visited the city - we enjoyed buying our favorite baguettes, the 'bazinette' freshly and lovingly made every day by the artisan baker L. Bazin. Apparently the bakery has now changed hands and is called Boulangerie Bo.
The building is historic, thankfully preserved despite the constant pressure in most cities of the world to replace and rebuild. (In fact there was construction going on next door as can be seen by the scaffold and plastic.) Happily this architectural gem still exists.
And here, as I positioned myself for the 'portrait' of the facade (see that photo below in my comments), it seemed as if two completely different French generations and cultures appeared suddenly at the same time. Loved the elderly couple stopping to look longingly in the window, contrasting with the hurried pace of the young woman on the other side. The 21st century is here. Must move! Must go! Must hurry! Meanwhile, I stand quietly and patiently, very carefully go "Click!" to catch the scene.
C'etait notre boulangerie preferee, au XIIeme....surtout pour les 'bazinettes' delicieuses, les bonnes baguettes faites par L. Bazin, Artisan Boulanger. En plus, l'immeuble est d'époque, il est superbe ! Il parait que cette boulangerie a changer de proprietaire depuis notre visite, et s'appele maintenant Boulangerie Bo.
