The one thing to get

A croissant, and a trompe-l'œil fruit if you're splurging

When to go: Morning; there's often a short queue outside.

The world-famous pastry chef's bakery; the viennoiserie is the best-value way in.

3 days, about 1 hr 30 min hands-on · 12 croissants. The real thing at home: a lean, cold dough, one sheet of butter, three folds and patience. Made over three days so nothing is rushed.
