BREAKFAST AT BREIZH CAFÉ
Another relaxing day! We had a breakfast reservation at Breizh Café in the neighborhood of Le Marais. So we took the Métro to Marais. The crepes were excellent! Crispy on the edges and full of flavor. We came early but the place filled up quickly so having a reservation definitely helps.

JACQUES GENIN
Our next stop was Jacques Genin, also in Le Marais. Chef Jacques Génin is a very well-known chocolate and caramel maker in Paris. We had a nice table where we enjoyed our mille-feuille, Paris-Brest, and hot chocolate. The mille-feuille was very delicious and the hot chocolate was definitely a contender to Angelina's.

MARIAGE FRÈRES
We also stopped by Mariage Frères. This place is not just a tea shop but you can also have lunch, brunch, or an afternoon tea there. The tea selection at this store is just incredible. They also have a free, tea museum upstairs.

YIDDISH BAKERIES: SACHA FINKELSZTAJN AND FLORENCE KAHN
We went to two Yiddish bakeries in Marais: Sacha Finkelsztajn and Florence Kahn. If you are into yiddish food, you will not be disappointed. The selections were amazing. I will let the pictures do the talking.
