    Love the mix of English and French. I'm trying to learn French and it really helps to hear someone speaking French in real life.

    Bonjour Gabrielle,
    Pour moi aussi, c'est le croissant de chez Carton qui est mon préféré jusqu'à présent.
    Au plaisir de te revoir sur tes vidéos, où j'aime écouter ton anglais. 😁 Merci. 💝🙏🏻

    I like croissant and the pain au chocolat as well, because they are big and the dough is fluffy.
    I`d like to learn daily conversation of French and go to Paris again in the next year or so!
    À bientôt!

    The croissants I’m used to (in Sydney) have the little “crab claws” at the front. But nearly all the ones I’ve seen on YT Paris videos do not, they are all a straight funnel shape.
    A bit confused here. 🤣

    From the USA. Where I live we can not get "hand-made" croissants. Only some supermarkets have factory made crossants which they bake on the premises. I am jealous of your ability to work into any bakery and order a hand made croissant.

    • @FrenchWithElle

    The Paul Le Café croissant looked industrial to me and didn't have the laminated, layered look. The other ones looked so much better!

      Paul, it's only a brand. Never been inside. Don't mind the est.1889 on the bag, does not always mean, quality. Boulangeries Paul SAS has its global headquarters in Marcq-en-Barœul, in the Lille region of France, and operates in 47 countries. Paul has 10,500+ employees.

    Do you know how much we pay for a high quality croissant in L.A.? About $6. Sometimes a bit more. I am shocked by the great prices in Paris. I think I would be eating a good deal more croissants if I lived there. I would be very happy about it too!😋🥐💕

      I just bought a Pain au Chocolat here in LA from a Belgian chain (Le Pain Quotidien) that's nearby. Not bad, better than any of the completely industrial ones you find in supermarkets, but not as good as the best in Paris. And it was very small and cost $5.25 plus tax (so close to $5.75 total).

      @@jeffsherman91 I know this place. It's has some decent food. There are a couple places I go to for quality croissants. One is Tartine. They have croissants as big as a bear paw. Very delicious. There's Proof, which is excellent. And also a local cafe owned by a French baker/pastry chef. He makes outstanding food.
