Hi Lainie--I made it to the bakery, but it was closed since it was Sunday. Fortunately, there was a little chalkboard with a note that they were selling pastries and breads out of the cafe around the corner, Bar a Pains. I asked about the croissants with white chocolate, but they said they only made leavened bread with white chocolate. There were loaves that they would cut down for you in a piece as big as you wanted. They also had little rolls that looked like pain au chocolat, but were not puffed pastry but actual bread. I only got a slice of the white chocolate bread because I wanted to try another kind, too--tomato with lardons and onions. Both were delicious and the cafe was really cute and charming. I would definitely go back the next time I am in Paris and sit to have breakfast. Since I was still foraging for other treats in the neighborhood, I didn't want to fill up too much. I headed to Popelini (29 rue Debelleyme) next--which is an adorable tiny shop selling little cream puffs in cool flavors. Highly recommended!
