    This is a bakery on the Canal Saint-Martin with a 19th-century façade that you'll have plenty of time to study from the line. The croissant dough gets rolled into pinwheel "escargots," filled with pistachio and chocolate chips or berries and cream cheese, and the croissants cost more than the neighbors' do. The Infatuation put it on its lists of the best bakeries and croissants in Paris. It's closed on weekends, so a Saturday queue is a rumor.

    • Escargots

      “Du Pain et Des Idées is best known for its Insta-famous croissant dough swirls called escargots, filled with berries and cream cheese, cinnamon and orange rind, or pistachio pastry cream studded with chocolate chips.”

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
