Every time I have visited France, I am determined to find the best
croissant in the city. There are several boulangeries all around french cities, but if
you are not local or do not have the local knowledge, just going to the
first boulangerie you see, could be a hit or miss. Anyways in the hunt for THE croissant place in France whilst being a tourist,I have come to
conclusion that there are couple chain boulangeries in France, that fulfills
my quest of the tasty pastries. Albeit, not the best top
tier patisseries or croissants , however you will find them in all major cities around France, so you know what you
are getting.
Paul, is a boulangerie/bakery chain in France. I found this chain of boulangeries in Paris to be among one of the best. My first visit to Paul's was the store in Champs Elysees and I liked it so much that I ended up visiting various other Paul in Paris, Nice & Cannes
The stores itself are impeccably French in a black shop-front with its large glass windows where you can see the bread arranged on wooden shelves and baguettes in baskets like umbrellas in a stand.

There is also has another chain of boulangerie called "La Brioche Dorée", I went there couple of times and its probably not my favorite ,I prefer the boulangerie of Paul anyday, but they do sell something called a "maxi pain au chocolat" which is more than twice the size of a regular pan au chocolat almost the size of a brick for under 2 euros and its great for lunch if you don't like savory sandwiches.
