James Berthier, Pastry shop in the 20th arrondissement, Paris, France
James Berthier is a pastry shop in the 20th arrondissement of Paris, on Avenue Gambetta. The glass counter displays handmade tarts, eclairs, and choux pastries prepared fresh each day.
The shop was opened by James Berthier, who trained under experienced pastry chefs in Paris. From the start, he focused on classic recipes and quality ingredients like local butter and chocolate.
The shop sits on Avenue Gambetta and is easy to reach on foot from nearby parks and local markets. Visiting earlier in the day gives you the best chance to see the full range on display.
The apple tart has a gently rippled, glossy surface said to resemble the Seine as it flows under the bridges. Beneath the apples sits a layer of almond cream that only softens when it meets the juice of the fruit.
