Sourdough Bakery in Paris
In a city where bread defines daily life, finding a true sourdough bakery in Paris means looking beyond appearances, toward those rare houses where time, fermentation and craftsmanship still shape every loaf. At Christophe Louie, natural leaven is not a trend but a philosophy. Trained by Italian master panettone-maker Mauro Morandin, Christophe Louie cultivates a living sourdough culture, refreshed daily in his Parisian workshop, that gives life to each of his creations: artisanal panettone, brioches and breads crafted with patience and precision. Tucked away at 12 rue Dupetit-Thouars in the Marais, this atelier of the living invites both passionate gourmets and discerning professionals to rediscover what bread can truly be when guided by long fermentation, carefully sourced ingredients and the steady hand of an artisan committed to authenticity.
Let yourself be tempted by our artisanal products
Stepping into our sourdough bakery in Paris is to enter a universe where every product tells a story of time, terroir and technique. Our signature panettone (classico with candied fruits and raisins, orange-blossom with Malaga figs and candied mandarin or two-chocolate with Cuba 65% dark and Madagascar 40% milk) undergo a 72-hour fermentation that yields their unmistakable filante crumb and lasting aromatic depth.
Alongside them, a thoughtfully composed range of naturally leavened breads made from ancient grains, together with brioches, madeleines, flans, travel cakes and seasonal pastries, completes the offering. Each recipe is additive-free, naturally long-keeping and crafted with noble ingredients such as AOP Charentes-Poitou butter and Italian type 00 strong flours, a tangible expression of our commitment to honest, digestible and deeply flavourful baking.
