Le coupeur baguette

In many of the older Paris restaurants and cafés, you will find a well worn cabinet loaded with simple baskets and a coupeur baguette. I have never asked, but would love to know how many fresh baguettes they buy each day!

Le pain

I always enjoy seeing the place where small Paris restaurants slice their bread. There are always the obligatory straw baskets and the always fresh baguette sliced just before it's served. This is the lovely old bar and restaurant, A la Pomponnette, depuis 1909. If you are in the Montmartre area I highly recommend. One of the best meals I've had in Paris for a very reasonable price.
