Squirrel Bakery, Bakery in Malakoff, France
Boulangerie L'écureuil is a bakery on Boulevard de Stalingrad in Malakoff, just south of Paris. It sells fresh bread every day, including baguettes, country loaves, croissants, and pain au chocolat.
The bakery has been part of the neighborhood for several decades and has been run by the same family over the years. Different generations have worked behind the counter, keeping the same recipes going.
Coming in early in the morning gives you the best choice of fresh items, as popular things like croissants sell out fast. The shop accepts credit cards and mobile payments, and is accessible for people using a wheelchair.
The name L'écureuil means squirrel in French, which makes it stand out among bakery names in the area. The staff often points out items that have just come out of the oven, so regulars sometimes get to try things before they even reach the display case.
