There was a story a couple of months ago in Travel and Leisure Magazine about the best croissants in Paris. A couple of weeks ago, we decided to try a few. Although we didn't visit all of her recommendations, we did visit her favorite and of the sampling we did while we were there, she was right on. Never have I tasted better (thought it's hard to get a bad croissant in Paris unless you go to one of those chains in a train station) than:

Patisserie Boulangerie Blé Sucré
7 Rue Antoine Vallon

Of course, while we were there, we discovered something I'd never had before - seemed like the butter of a croissant times 10 plus carmelized sugar. The buttery Kouign-Amann! OMG!
