Pierre Hermé Pâtisserie Tours and Tickets

Pierre Hermé Pâtisserie shops are located around the world, but the first opened in Tokyo. The Paris branch is at 72 Rue Bonaparte in the Saint-Germain district. It’s a few blocks from the Luxembourg Gardens (Jardin du Luxembourg) and near the Saint-Sulpice Church (Église Saint-Sulpice).

Pierre Hermé Pâtisserie’s signature pastries are rose, raspberry, and lychee-flavored Ispahan Macarons, Infiniment Vanille tarts, layered 2000 Feuilles (which contrast to the more common millefeuille), Mogador chocolate and raspberry cake, and Carrément Chocolat chocolate cake. All of the pâtisserie’s creations are works of art though, so you can’t make a wrong choice.

Pierre Hermé Pâtisserie has numerous branches across Paris and the world, which all have slightly different opening hours. The main Paris branch, on 72 rue Bonaparte, is open Monday–Thursday from 11am until 8pm, and opens an hour earlier at 10am Friday–Sunday. Some Paris branches open earlier and close later.

Pastries and confectionery from Pierre Hermé Pâtisserie range from €8 (roughly US$8.25) for an individual galette to €98 (US$102) for a large gâteau. Prices vary, so you can indulge in one small item on a budget or buy more decadent treats if you want to splurge.
