About Stohrer
Founded in 1730 by Nicolas Stohrer, pastry chef to King Louis XV, this is Paris's oldest pâtisserie. The shop maintains its original 1864 painted ceiling and serves legendary rum babas and puits d'amour. The interior is a masterpiece of Second Empire decoration with painted murals depicting cherubs and pastoral scenes.
Insider Tips
Order the baba au rhum, which Stohrer invented here in the 18th century, and ask them to serve it extra-soaked in rum syrup
