So this is where Luis got his inspiration from
✨✨
Luis really nailed, after watching this now I understand a lot of jokes he did like completely changing his voice tone while pronouncing croissant.
I've been studying croissant for 15 years now. My doctoral thesis is on the crunchiness of the croissant a comparative study in more than 46 different types of croissant in the whole world not just in Paris. I've found that the crunchiest croissant is soo crispy and so soft at the same time: it's the gipsy croissant. When i meet with my friends the first thing I talk about is croissant. My best friend calls me the "croissant nut" and he always says : "oh no stop talking about croissants mate!". My wife always tells me : "Please stop about the croissants...i've had a long day at work". But when i sleep i dream of croissants and their crispiness and crunchiness wakes me up at night. I open my eyes and wonder in the deep hours of the night about the awesomenss of the croissant.
Please do share. You can also write to us on vibe@parisianvibe.co .We would be very glad to discuss croissant more especially as we will shortly start filming Part 2 of this episode:-)
Cool! Is your thesis online for reading?
You have to be right. There may be one difference between us, you seemingly only dream at night about croissants. I dream also all day. 🙃 liked your post.
Do you mind sharing the link to your thesis paper so I can eat it.. I mean read it?
Croissant specialist sounds like a dream job
This wasn't the "Best croissant in Paris" video I was looking for, but this is a pretty good one.
I love these types of videos!!! More like this please. Maybe best Baguette in Paris next?
Why not? Nice idea, we have noted!!!💕💕
What about andouille my friend ? I am sure you will like !
That could take a whole year! Many baguettes
@@caryoulwhitty There is a bakery in every street.

Why nobody talking about how beautiful she is 🥺💖
💖💖
And a lady at that.
Because the best things are left unsaid…😊
I can just sit and listen to Mara speak for hours and hours 😊
🤩🤩💞💞
If I didn't enjoy Luis video as much as I did, I'd say he was *more* than inspired by this one. But here we are, and this video looks quite _inspiring_ .
Thank you so much!!✨✨
Yeah, Luis' video sometimes reminds me of this. His script is, well, kinda similar.
Missing the old days when travelling in Paris and taking a rest with nice coffee and crossiant at the street corner - how beautiful the memory was!
We hope you will come back to Paris as soon as possible!
“It’s not trying to be anything else, than a croissant”. Love that! ❤️
Thank you 💕💕
Usually I get bored easily watching this type of food reviews, but this....loving it, mara herself how she explain things, the surrounding, the shops, the bgm chef kiss
Thank you so much for your nice feedback!
Loved this! You guys could turn this into a series and do a video about eclairs,baguette and other famous french foods. Also show us the best places for breakfast, best places for dinner, coffee etc... much love💙
Thank you so much! And we have a good news for you, we will publish the second episode soon✨✨
❤
Lies again? Big Brother Cock HDB Paris
Its also degenerated how we watch rich people eating their expensive fancy food.
You are amazing...
♥️ This is going to be great, I love Croissants 🥐 And Mara is one of the most beautiful, entertaining, charismatic and funny women alive. Great video.
Thank you so much 💖🥐💖
Love Mara's vibe. Looking to see her more on your videos. Also, Parisians are so lucky to have all those croissants 🤤
De la nouvelle USSA..... Pas de "meilleur"..... Il existe de nombreux endroits. Par où je commence.....? Parlons des gâteaux au fromage.....!
Well done Maria. Very informative and fun to watch . Quite thrill 😃for your final decision . Do some more please.
First I was recommended Luis’ croissant review video now this… I prefer eating my croissants in the middle of a demonstration/riot.
This was a fun and informational video! Love Mara's style and overall vibe. And now I'm craving a croissant (or two!).
You should eat as soon as possible 🥐🥐
Random advertising, here not the result of a competition to determine the best product. Who's to say they didn't miss the best one?
@@ParisianVibe❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great video Mara & ParisianVive ❤️❤️❤️ With everything going on in the world right now, this was a lovely distraction, thank you for uploading 🙏😘
Thank you so much for watching! We hope that the world will be better soon!🙌☮️🕊️
So much more preferable to be stuffing your face with croissants than to be worrying about world hunger … 👎🤮
I have always been fascinated by French Culture and Cuisine. ❤️ This channel is a Gem. 💯 And, the host is very beautiful ❤️⭐
I'm glad that even a price tag of 1.50 euros is considered expensive for a croissant cause I have eaten many croissants around Paris that cost much less and taste like heaven. I still remember taking a bunch of my fellow countrymen to Angelina (they heard about the hype) and yeah... You really just go there for the experience... not necessarily for the food. Here in my country, croissants and other French pastries' prices are way too expensive and they taste not even half as good. They are considered a fancy snack. For this reason, lucky those who live in France.
Loved the video! The style was relaxed and accessible and the pigeons were entertaining lol. As a bit of a croissant connoisseur myself, I enjoyed the comparison between 4 different styles ranging from the traditional, to sweet, to modern. I totally agree that the butter makes the croissant and I feel that too much sweetness can detract from this. One small suggestion is if when you're referring to a technique like pate de feuilleté I would love to see the term pop up on the screen so we non native speakers can follow and learn something🙂
💖💖💖
She just posed too much instead of diving just into it
I have been in about 42 boulangeries in Paris in the last 3 months studying croissants. The best croissant in Paris is from the chef Maxime Frederic from Cheval Blanc and the second one is the one from Le Maison D'Isabelle. Try both then tell me if they are not the best. They are way much better than The French Bastards and Cedric.
You should have indicate the price to make it complete 😃
@@guada941 the croissant at le maison d'isabelle is 1 euro! same with their baguettes which are amazing as well
@@eggtartes good to know 👍
+1 for Maison d’Isabelle!!
Do you happen to know what make their recipe different from the usual normal recipe
I like the way she says croissant 😍
💖💖
Watching this video (and all of your videos especially the Fashion Style playlist) with Mara looking trés chic, the croissants, Paris background, really warms my heart. It's an escape for me, really. Thank you, Parisian Vibe!❤😊
You're welcome💞
Very well done. I am less than 2 minutes into watching this and I am astounded at how well this was produced. The videography. The typography. The divs of information graphics. The Parisian music for feel. This is some quality work. Well done.
Wow, thank you!✨💖
@@ParisianVibe You're welcome.
welcome to any LUIS fan brought here by the algorithm 👋🏻🥐
The ways of the algorithm are inscrutable!! 😂😂😂
Yes i found my way here bye the algorithmen too😂
Love love love this video! Exactly what I enjoy watching on this channel, getting to see around Paris, yummy Croissant and love the style of the host! 💜 I want her sweater!
💖💙💚💛
She’s so lovely, I don’t mind listening to her complementing croissants all day😂❤️
What a fun video!!
What are the odds? Ive JUST watched your Nathaniel 4.0 video🎉
I love this, Mara is fun, nice, beautiful and always with details. Grateful!
Agree with you! Mara is a star for us!⭐⭐
Urgh what a great video! The presenters style, accent and genuine foodie love made this so enjoyable to watch 😍
Thank you!!💕💕
Lovely video! More pls! I felt like I was on a journey around Paris, & I didn’t want it to end! Bravo👏😋
Glad you enjoyed it!💖💖
I'm here after Luis's video
Welcome✨✨
Je n'ai pas goûté aux croissants néanmoins quel plaisir, quel privilège de pouvoir jouir du glamour qui accompagne ta merveilleuse présence ! Tu es la vive inspiration de l'instant en état d'émerveillement !
💕💕
The French Bastards croissant is my current favorite, to me, it's amazing and I cannot wait until my next croissant.
Excellent video Mara ! I look forward to the layers with softness and a bit crunchiness a melt in the mouth videos indeed thx for putting it out.
Wow, I'm so enthralled by the presenter's elegant fashion and aesthetic. So impressive!
Thank you so much on behalf of Mara!
Fell upon this channel ! Excited , happy . This video is excellent . Thank you for sharing your list of places to visit and eat these delicious Parisian treats . Greetings from Mexico .
Thanks and welcome💖💖
Great video by a lovely presenter. No matter how we rate croissants in France, they remain the best in the world.
Thank you so much!
Apart from the croissant review 1. Her eyes when she takes the first bite ✨ 2. The background music ❤️
Loving the fashion, elegance, beauty in Paris! Even a bakery store can be so gorgeous!
Loved this video! Would love more videos like these. Best baguette. Best chocolate. Best cheese shop. Etc. 💛
Nice ideas!! And also thank you so much for watching!!💕💕
Luis sent me here 😂 I prefer his version
Welcome🤩🤩
Nicely presented! The best croissant I ever had (unforgettable!) was in a Café at Sevre Babylonne, next to Le bon marché. It was buttery, not too sweet, heavy, slightly salty, not fluffy or crunchy at all, rather flat.Just delicious!
@赵正华 yes, living in Paris
10:26 "OhLaLa!!" ❤️ ...aaaaand we have a winneeeer :D From the clip, I too would probably go with Mara's choices. Love her sense of taste, her spontaneity and unassuming manners xO
KZhead recommended this after watching the review of Luis :D Some of the local vibe seems to be missing here!
I love this video. I 'm watching this again and again and again! The most important thing is Mara is so beautiful.
Wow, thank you!🥰🥰
Loved this. Makes me long to visit Paris again and try the croissants.
Ah how I love France and its culture 😍Vive la France 🇫🇷
Lots of love from 🇫🇷💖💙
Very interesting and informative! And it gives one an excuse to try many croissants, I would certainly like to make this a fun part of a future trip or a little side adventure when taking new people to Paris or France! I have never had a sugar crusted croissant so I might find that interesting, but also for breakfast everyday maybe you would want something without sugar and not so dripping heavy with butter. I think your rankings were surprising but spot on!
Go for it!✨✨
I appreciate the effort that went into finding the best croissants in Paris. It's a wonderful guide for anyone looking for an authentic French pastry experience.
Our pleasure. If you want to watch, new video in croissant series is live ✨Here is the link: kzhead.info/sun/eKVqdtp8p2d4gKs/bejne.html
The butter flavor makes a big difference; good you mentioned this.
This is something of a classic paris tour. From theme to cinematography to the food and the beautiful beautiful presenter. Love it! Please never change.
Keep watching us!✨
Love how you tell the backstory of croissants , just realized that
Mara is just adorable.
Lol that guy reviewing croissants in the riots got the idea from here 💀💀
Loves the video…I second the suggestion for the next tasting to be baguette but would REALLY love recommendation for the best steak et frites in Paris!
Great suggestion! We will definitely consider it!✨💕👏
Oh oui j’avoue que c’est très très bon merci pour ce vidéo ❤🇩🇿
so this is what inspired Luis to make the croissant video xD
i got this video recommend after watching Luis best croissant, lol
It's a privilege to live in Paris and be able to choose between many "best croissant places". I did a test of croissants in Paris many, many years ago along a list of bakeries I had assembled from the Internet. Ladurée was on this list and they offered two types of croissant: "traditional" with lots of butter and a "diet" version (they called it someting different, I just don't remember exactly) with also lots of butter but a little less than the traditional one. Dry croissants are obviously not worth your while. In general I test bakeries by the quality of their croissants. It's quite hard for me not to step into my car, ride to Paris, and start testing tomorrow morning. Ahhh croissants, I love them. Thanks for this so very knowledgeable video about my absolutely favorite baked product.
Thank you so much for your informative feedback!
Its indeed a privilige to live in Paris, I agree. And don't let others tell you that is a dangerous city. Yes, my best friend was raped in Paris but not all inmigrants are bad.
@@al2048 - is this an AI answer? Which version? 🙂 Especially your third (last) sentence seems to be a little off topic. And controversial.
Oh sorry for my english, im french and never learned english properly, only from the internet. I was answering to another commenter that was saying that Paris nowadays its lost , and instead of listening people in the streets saying "Ohlalalá" you hear them saying "Aluakbar !" Yes , Paris is not anymore as "parisinian" as it was during the Jean Luc Godard movies, but I still believe its a beautiful city, even if my best friend got rped by an algerian inmigrant. @@hhschrader8067 but that doesnt make France as a 'ruined and failed city' , because this could also have happened to her in Barcelona where she lives , since they also have there a problem with muslm inmigrants and crime, just as most european cities in 2023.
This the amazing video that I see about Paris. I love how you presented the content of video.
Happy to hear that! Thank you!💕
3:59 "oh naww.. dont fight!!😠" lmaooo peak humor
😅😅
This was such a fun video! I can’t wait to try my first Parisian croissant
You should!✨✨
Everytime I watch a video with Mara it makes me want to get bangs too😂
You should definitely get!!✨✨
love your video! Thank you for showing compassion to the pigeons!
Our pleasure!✨
Love how you present , and of course your beautiful accent . Thanks
Thanks too for watching!
Je pense que vous avez jugé très équitablement et sans parti pris, et que vous avez jugé sur la chose la plus importante qui est le goût. Merci beaucoup!
De rien!💗
Wonderful to see your reviews! Can’t wait to do my own taste test. 😉
You should do it as soon as possible!!💕🥐💕
@@ParisianVibe in my dreams!!! 🥰
Bon Appétit croissaaaants!!! Merci pour la ballade des croissants heureux de Paris 🎶 à découvrir avec plaisir of course ohmymymy 🎶
I prefer best croissant with riot
Wonderful video, merci! I have to agree with your rankings. Tout Autour du Pain has excellent croissants and breads. The French Bastards became our new favorite on out last trip to Paris. Other other favorite croissants can be found at la Maison d'Isabelle in the 5th, Bread and Roses and Poilaine in the 6th. My personal favorite is the Ispahan croissant at Pierre Hermé. Other bests? Brioche, Chausson au Pommes, Kugelhopf (hint: the best by far is Vandermeersch.)
Hi! Tomorrow, you can see la Maison d'Isabelle in our new episode✨We invite you to watch the new episode(Part II: Best Croissants in Paris) tomorrow at 11:00 ✨
mara is adorable and goes for the local bakery. dream girl right there.
Lovely croissants,and it seems better with Mara tasting :). Thanks
Wonderful video! I love croissants, baguettes and I'd sometimes do the same taste test/ranking here in the Philippines 🥐🥖 i wish I could go to Paris someday 🇫🇷
💖🥐💖
Could you tell me where can I get the best croissant here in the phils? Hehe. Thanks! ☺️
You all know why this video just got recommended to you xD
Because of Mara? 😅
I think your backdrop is GORGEOUS, it is Paris!
love the accent and your style. they give me positive vibe
Happy to hear that!😊
I have been to the Tout Autour du Pain, and I agree, it's the best one I've ever had ❤️
💖💖
Loved this video! I live in Montreal and we have many places that make croissants. My daughter and I have found our favourite which is similar to the one you picked ( by a baker from Brittany). Next time I am in Paris, I will certainly try out the three places to see if I agree 😊!
We tried all of them and trust us, you will not regret!💖🥐🥐💖
Ooh no way! I live in Montreal, which do you recommend?
I'd love to know your MTL recommendation!
omggg... i loveeeeeee croissant so muchhh.. I would die to come back parisss to try the first croissant u had Mara, the more layer it looks the more crunchy and fluff on the inside... 😍😍🤤🤤🤤🤤
Can't wait to try them Mara!
I agree, Cedric grollet's croissant is really expensive, but not that tasty. I'm gonna try the 1st one, looks really good !
thanks for sharing!! Love Paris!! Love Croissants!!
Thanks for watching!
I really liked this video! I loved the information shared, location and price. Most videos shy away from sharing the price so really appreciate it.
Glad you liked it!!
I think you ranked it well. It's good to see this video btw!
Oh my, she is the most amazing woman ever. What I would do to sample croissants in Paris with someone as cool as her; this video was the next best thing, bravo.
✨✨
Prefer the 2023 version.
We respect you ✨
@@ParisianVibe Vive la révolution. Stength, courage and mad mad respect to you all.
Your ranking was very objective and fair. I like it a lot. Congrats for a job well done. 👍
Thank you very much!
Great video Parisian Vibe, I love when Mara comes out and now I'm hungry for a croissants. ❤️🥐
You should eat as soon as possible!! 💕🥐💕
This was wonderful. Thank you for sharing. You were wonderful. By the way …. love your name. It fits you perfectly
Thank you so much!
Superbes adresses , il faudrait tester des boulangeries plus traditionnelles, c'est là qu'on voit la richesse de notre pâtisserie
I've never been to France. But I love French pastries in general, they are the best. Fortunately, we have some excellent French bakeries in Chicago. And I think I have the same expectations for an ideal croissant. I have never seen a croissant like the first one you tried, though. It looks wonderful. If my eyes were the only judges, I would put that one in first place. I even wanted to be a pigeon.
What are your favorite french bakeries in Chicago? I live here so I'd love your recommendations!
@@rooshi7 Maison Marcel and Maison Parisienne are both in Lakeview. Floriole is French inspired, but I think they only have pickup service these days. These three are amazing.
Just curious what's the average cost for crossiant over there?
@@gbomify Between 3 and 5 dollars.
Дякую! Дуже цікава, красиве та смачне відео!
The grace of this woman is amazing haha loved the video
Thank you so much on behalf of Mara✨✨
Hello from NYC! And thanks for your video! The croissants look delicious! And made me hungry for one! But I know I won’t be able to find one quite like the originals from France, here in NYC! But I hope to go to Paris one day and eat one there! 🥰
Thanks for watching! One day, you should come here!💕
What is actually amazing in Paris is the fact that you don't even need to go to a fancy bakery to get a great croissant. You can buy a croissant at the average bakery at the corner of your street and have a wonderful moment. And every croissant has it's own identity. Incredible.
But not all "average bakery"
Etant parisien, je ne peux malheureusement pas être d'accord avec toi. Like someone else had said, not any "average bakery" is good in Paris and I am talking about 75.
@@ruemignon oui, je n'ai pas dit all average bakery mais franchement une average bakery au coin de la rue généralement tu trouves un bon croissant
@@komulink9562 Oké d'accord. Chais pas toi, mais moi je trouve le croissant dans mon petit coin dégueulasse...
there is one rule in France however... You can spot a "boulangerie" that sells Frozen croissants / baguettes from a mile away... this is something every French person can spot. Those boulangeries are a stain on our society... lots of tourists go in unaware and come away dissapointed with their supermarket frozen croissant that has been disguised as a real one. Unless they are making themselves on the day, they shouldn't be allowed to call themselves a boulangerie
You really have a very good taste for crunchier food items.
I just love Mara..
When I worked as ‘réception de nuit ’ I had to pick up a sack full of hot croissants every morning at 6 am to serve for the hotel breakfast I couldn’t resist having one!
