Pain Pain
About
Pain Pain is a boutique bakery and high‑end sandwich shop nestled in the heart of Paris’s Montmartre district, known for its artisanal breads, award‑winning pastries and a relaxed, family‑friendly atmosphere. Open every day from 7:30 am to 19:30 pm—except for year‑end holidays—the shop offers freshly baked baguettes, croissants, cookies and a menu of gourmet sandwiches that can be prepared fresh in the store. In addition to the in‑store experience, Pain Pain runs a Click & Collect service from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm, allowing customers to order online or by phone and pick up their items within 30 minutes. In 2020 the bakery’s almond galette earned a “Best Galette des Rois” award, and its 2012 baguette was named the best in Paris. The end‑to‑end use of locally sourced ingredients—from Breton flour to Normand cream—makes it a favorite for foodies, families and anyone craving authentic French patisserie. Though the shop does not offer delivery or dine‑in service, its welcoming environment and quick pick‑up make it ideal for commuters and the off‑the‑clock visitor seeking a true Parisian bread experience.
