La Croissanterie

These are a chain of fastfood bakeries specializing in croissants and chocolate croissants (the famed pain au chocolat) and other breakfast staples of Parisians. It's also not quite accurate to call this a bakery since there are always at least a few tables and chairs provided at which you can take your tray of croissant, juice and hot cafe au lait and set your derriere for a few minutes or for as long as it takes to wake up. Bakeries here in France don't usually offer that luxury (seating). The croissants may not be the voted the best in France like that neighborhood boulangerie in Lord knows what hidden part of which arrondissement, but you are sure to be satisfied.
