Pain au chocolat in Paris is the best! The croissants are so wonderful in France because the butter is just so good and the flour is so good. And the chocolate is also very good, so the pain au chocolat is superb.
You may know that there is an annual competition for croissants and baguettes, but the best pan au chocolat in Paris was actually awarded until 2017 (the pan au chocolat competition is now closed)!
Today we also have a list of the best places to eat Pan au Chocolat from the French versions of Figaro, Elle and Vogue.

Who won first place in the 2016 Paris Regional Area (Ile de France) Pain au Chocolat Competition?
The first prize in 2016 was the famous Maison Pichard, a famous brangery that won first place in the Paris Croissant Competition in 2018, and in 2019 his son (on the left in the photo), Maison Isabelle, won first place. Isabelle is close to Emily’s house. If you’re staying around Montparnasse, be sure to visit Pichard’s! They’re both so delicious that I would encourage you to try them freshly baked.

This one tends to be more like a fashion magazine, or rather, more stylish shops. Many of them are not boulangerie (bakery) shops, but patisserie (cake shop) shops as their main business. They are delicious and look beautiful, but there are also a lot of pain au chocolat shops that are a bit expensive.
By the way, there are many stores that have many shops, but be careful because many of them only offer cakes or only chocolates. Please visit one of the stores on this list.
