Off on another trip? Are you inspired by Italy? After all, Italian-style gelato is one of the most popular in the world. In Paris, we’re heading for Pozzetto to cross the Alps and meet up with our Italian neighbors. Made with fresh milk in the traditional way, Pozzetto’s ice creams are as generous in taste as they are in quantity. There’s no need to use a spoon here: we fill your cones just right, the old-fashioned way, with a spatula.

While a few new flavors and original creations appear in season, we come to Le Bac Ă Glaces above all to taste the sorbets of yesteryear and traditional flavors, thanks to manufacturing processes refined through generations for your greatest pleasure.

Today, the founder’s granddaughter leads the way, with the ice creams still produced above the store.
