The Best Creme Puffs in Paris

Can you imagine a pretty Parisian store filled with display shelves of only creme puffs? Well, Odette, is such a store. Nestled in amongst its surrounding buildings, Odette is at 77 rue Galande, and is well known for selling only creme puffs, or as they are as named in French, choux à la creme.

Odette - A True Parisian Pastry Store

Yes, while there are pastry shops and bakeries everywhere in Paris, almost on every other street corner actually, Odette is different because instead of the array of eclairs, macarons, croissants and baguettes, Odette only bakes and sells creme puffs and because they specialise only in choux à la creme, they excel in both flavour and creative flair.

Visiting Odette and sampling a creme puff was on my 'to visit' list on my first stay in Paris, but because the shop is set so well into the surrounding buildings, I actually walked past and around the shop not seeing it. It wasn't until my following visit to the City of Light that I actually found the store and eventually tasted an Odette creme puff for myself.
