Maison Stohrer


A little Paris walk on 51, rue Montorgueil, 75002 to one of Paris' oldest patisserie founded in 1730. We will visit Maison Stohrer class, today. The interior of this tiny shop is positively grande. With murals of the seasons painted by Paul Baudry in 1864, whose works grace the Grand Foyer of the Paris Opera...

The Tarte aux Poires...

I don't know the name of this tart, but it knows what to do when you point a camera at it bien sur!

Piles of luscious canneles await you at Stohrer. They were judged to have the 3rd best eclair in Paris.

And being a traiteur, there are savories too. Soup to nuts so to speak.


 And we must not forget the macarons! Here's a petit film on Stohrer, if per chance you can't drop by today...
BON JEUDI!

    Carol, the Tarte aux Poires looks burnt but the strawberrys and rasberrys look to die for, over here the strawberrys this summer were terrble and cost a bomb so didn't have much this year. Have you ever had Egyptian cheerries as the beat the lot in taste and there pale yellow and pink . Fantastic !!

    I'm sure that's the way it should look
    The Parisiens are perfectionist at their tarts

    Carol, you cause me joy and distress all at once! Such a joy to see your lovely photos and watercolors but such anguish because I cannot walk into Maison Stohrer and taste those delights today!

    Hi Carol-

    I came across your blog on 'Places I Have Never Been'.. and find it mouth-watering. I miss Paris so much! Truth be told, I was never a dessert fiend until I spent time there. To this day, I'm still not sure if that was a curse or a blessing!

    Best,
    Suz (a.k.a. Lil' Boozie)

    I'd hate to be sent to the principal's office at PB! Your stern warnings have made this dog owner get the dog's hat off his bed!
    As for the film - that young man could make shredded newspaper sound tres tres delicieuse!

    Stohrer's pastries look wonderful... but their assistant 's French sounds terrible... Not any class for this classy place...

    The third best eclair according to a Figaro survey. They have the article glued to their door and I studied it at length and even took a picture of it!?
