Carton
Carton is a rarity—a world-class bakery located right next to a major transit hub, having won 1st place in the 2022 Best Croissant competition. For many, this is the first or last croissant they eat in Paris, and it sets an incredibly high standard with its rich, flaky lamination. It is the best reason to arrive at Gare du Nord 20 minutes earlier than planned.
