Stohrer
Stohrer is a bakery and pâtisserie located on Rue Montorgueil in Paris's 2nd arrondissement, operating since 1730. Inside, you find elaborate decorations with frescoes and elegant display cases showcasing an extensive range of handmade French pastries, breads, chocolates, and seasonal treats created according to traditional recipes.
Nicolas Stohrer, a pastry chef from King Stanisław Leszczyński of Poland's household, opened this bakery in 1730 after the king moved to France when his daughter married King Louis XV. The shop has remained at the same location on Rue Montorgueil for nearly 300 years, and during the 1800s it received elaborate frescoes as interior decoration.
The name comes from Nicolas Stohrer, the pastry chef who founded the shop for the royal court. It remains a place where visitors and locals step inside each day to experience traditional French baking that continues to follow the same methods and recipes passed down for nearly three centuries.
The bakery sits on Rue Montorgueil and is easy to reach on foot, making it convenient to stop by during a walk through the neighborhood. It opens daily, and you can walk in to browse the cases and choose pastries directly or enjoy treats on the spot without needing to plan ahead.
Nicolas Stohrer invented the rum baba, a brioche cake soaked in rum syrup, after King Stanisław found a dessert too dry and had it reworked with wine. This accidental creation became one of the bakery's most famous products and shows how royal moments shaped French pastry traditions.
