Christophe Louie, the undisputed king of Italian baking in Paris, opened his Haut-Marais shop dedicated to the wonder of Panettone in late 2023, making it a true first for the French capital. Louie trained as a pastry chef, working at La Grande Épicerie de Paris, Le Meurice, and Le Jules Verne before turning his attention to the magic of bread and training with Mauro Morandin in Italy. He was so inspired by Morandin that he named his own sourdough leaven ‘Mauro’, and brought it back to Paris to reinterpret the Italian classics of Panettone, Focaccia, Pandoro, and Colombe. His Panettone flavors include classic, Gianduja, and orange blossom; Pandoro comes in vanilla and chestnut honey. Louie also has a focus on specialist breads made with sourdough and ancient grains, exquisite viennoiserie, classic cakes such as financiers, madeleines, flan, and marble cake, along with savouries such as pizza and sandwiches.
