Paul

Paul as usual, is decent. However one of the waitress is quite rude and just outright ignored us for the longest time despite we just paid her. Made us wait while she chats, etc.
I know I don’t speak French but still!
€ 8.8 meal is quite nice though. A drink, a main (bread) and a dessert (pastry).

perfekte Teilchen. Sowohl süß … als auch herzhaft
im netten Ambiente.
Fazit:
Gute Produkte, freundliches Personal und moderate Preise
Besuch Ende Juni 2015

Great place to grab a snack when the catacomb line takes 3 hours. Their quiche lorraine is very good, but make sure you get it hot. They only put it in the oven for a few seconds so it was only warm. Their coffee is extremely small. It would be nice to sell large baguettes, but no lost there because everyone has them

J’adore ce Paul, on dit que c’est une chaîné, mais ici, j’ai juste l’impression d’arriver dans une grande boulangerie qui brasse du monde.
Souvent des nouveautés, une armada de serveur vois sauté dessus, toujours du choix.
Honnêtement, je n’ai jamais été déçu de mes passages.

Idéal pour faire le plein de gluten :). Plus sérieusement, je me rends souvent à Denfert et je n’ai jamais pris le temps d’y entrer pour déguster leurs sandwichs.
A l’intérieur, la décoration est digne d’une boulangerie ancienne, les mobiliers et les objets sont rustiques, ce qui donne une ambiance chaleureuse.
Des nombreux sandwichs à disposition, j’ai opté pour la star incontestée des sandwichs, le jambon-​beurre. Le pain n’était très frais et le prix s’est élevè à 3,50 € quand même. Je me suis rattrapé avec un macaron.
Plus: Ambiance, Macaron
Moins: Qualité/​Prix
Prix: A partir de 3,50 € le sandwich

Decided to go here because the line for the Catacombes was too long! What a great decision. Fresh pain au chocolat, beignets and fromage stick. All very delicious I would definitely recommend this place

This Boulangerie Paul is across the street from the entrance to the Catacombes– good to know when the line is several hours long, as it was when I tried to go.
The shop is fairly small, with seating inside for only maybe 15 people and outside for 20 more. The staff works very quickly to accommodate orders so the patrons can be on their way. As with my other Paul experiences (as mentioned, this is a chain), there was a wide selection of delectable pastries and breads, and the coffee was delightful.
To note: no bathroom. For the bathroom, proceed around the corner to the MacDo.

It’s so strange to be writing about a chain in Paris! Everywhere you go there is a Paul Boulangerie. It’s like Starbucks. I saw at least four at the CDG airport. And this particular one was the first one we ran into, right across the street from the Catacombs.
I did not have high expectations because it was swarming with tourists and mostly I went because I saw others walking out with tasty pastries and hot coffee and it was raining and we had waited nearing an hour already and I itched to get out of line. With perfect timing, a child walks past me with a French macaron so large he used both hands to hold it. It was that point that I got jealous because that is too much selfie potential to pass up. So off I went, leaving my guy for a giant French macaron.
I spotted them in the window and sure enough they were gigantic. $ 4? Not bad. And the line actually went very fast so within five minutes I had paid and had in my hands, literally a palm-​sized macaron. It was chewier than the petit macarons but still very tasty. I had a pistachio-​flavoured one but there were also giant vanillas and raspberries available. If macarons aren’t your thing, there are tasty sandwiches, pain du chocolate, croissants, little cakes and fruit pastries and every other thing to tempt you. You can’t really go wrong, whatever you choose. Everything we tried (at this and the other Pauls) were quite good.

I love Paul!!! Our hotel concierge described it as a French McDonald — and all I could think was how I probably wouldn’t like it. But this place blew me away. It’s literally located across the street from the catacombs. I loved stopping by for it’s convenience. They have the most amazing éclair au chocolate and éclair au café. The Chantilly cream is so rich, the pastry super puffy, and the glaze glistens in the sunlight — mmmmmm… When I walked in they had a large number of people sitting inside and enjoying their breakfast but I decided to take mine to go.
For tourists, here’s what I recommend (especially if you’re also interested in seeing the Catacombs.) Head over with a group and stand in line first thing in the morning (the wait can take a while). Send a friend over to this bakery shop to grab a bunch of food for breakfast or lunch while you are waiting. Trust me, their stuff is so good it makes the two hour line seem like two minutes (okay, so maybe not that short, but it kept us in a cheerful mood!). Plus, you get to save the time you were probably going to spend getting a meal somewhere else anyway.

Great place to stop after a trip to the Paris Catacombs for a pastry.

After the catacomb tour we needed a bit to eat. The bakery was really good. They didn’t speak English and our French was questionable but we found a middle ground and I got a sausage in a dough, wife had a salad and daughter had a checke3n and cheese in a baked baguette. We met a Parisian that spoke English while eating outside and he was very kind and was happy to hear that the French were really nice to us.

I think if there’s anything I will miss once I fly home, it will be the baked goods from Paul’s. The baked goods are excellent both at their Paris and London locations. I highly recommend their abricot anglaise (or apricotinis) and framboise macarons. They are exquisite! I have never had such a wonderful mixture of tart and sweetness in the fruit of my baked goods. I may take up making my own macarons and apricotinis in hopes that I can approximate the deliciousness.
These cafes also make coffee and chocolate chaud. Paul’s is a wonderful spot to pick up some morning treats or afternoon sandwiches.
Merci, Paul!

It seemed like there are more PAUL than Strabucks in Paris.
I’ve seen so many of PAUL, and tried at least 3 or 4 of them.
They have great sandwiches with fresh jambon, cheese, croissants, tartes. All so good. Service is fast.
Our breakfast in Paris was fresh sandwiches at the PAUL,
every morning.
I wish we could have that level of sandwiches or croissant here!
I miss PAUL!

Paul seems to be a typical French style bakery with high quality /​fresh products and large variety at a reasonable price. Paul is a chain and you will see them all over Paris. There was nothing amazingly unique about Paul, but the good thing is that you consistently get a good product here. Service was friendly.
This is a great place to stop when you’re low on energy and need a caffeine, sugar, and carbo pick-​me-​up (for example on your way to work or on a weekend morning for meeting friends). I met up with friends here on a Sunday morning and it was great. They have everything you would expect — fresh baguettes and tons of cakes and pastries. Coffee selection is also good. If you’re looking for something extremely unique and av ante garde, this is probably not your place. However, if you’re looking for a modern, simple bakery, this is a great stop. Enjoy.

Ce nouveau Paul place Denfert Rochereau fait mon bonheur: malgré la queue de deux mètres de long a laquelle on né coupe pas a partir de 10h du matin, on y trouve de délicieux pains et sandwiches.
Alors que dans les gares et aux endroits les plus passants, comme la rue de Rennes, les sandwiches y sont faits a la va-​vite et ont la consistance du carton, ici le pain est toujours frais et bon, et les sandwiches sont délicieux. Quant aux viennoiseries, je les dévore presque tous les matins.
Un seul reproche tout de même: quand je me leve a 6h, je suis dévastée par le fait qu’ils n’ouvrent pas plus tôt.
