boulangeries
Parisian bread shops
Boulangeries is the French word for bakeries, specifically those specializing in bread.
In English, the term appears in travel writing, food journalism, and contexts evoking French culture or cuisine.
Unlike general bakeries, a boulangerie traditionally focuses on breads and viennoiseries like croissants rather than elaborate pastries, which belong to a pâtisserie.
We stopped at one of the boulangeries near our hotel for fresh baguettes each morning.
