boulangerie
Parisian bread shop
A boulangerie is a French bakery, specifically one that sells bread.
The term appears in English when writers want to evoke French atmosphere or distinguish European-style bread shops from general bakeries: We stopped at a boulangerie for a fresh baguette.
In France, the word is legally protected—only shops that bake bread on premises may use it.
