Created in Dijon in 1651, millefeuille was one of the first sophisticated pastries of the Middle Ages. Transformed and perfected by numerous pastry chefs, it took almost 200 years for this dessert to become a great success. At the time, the Seugnot patisserie on rue du Bac had endless queues, such was the demand for this cake. And it’s easy to see why! This gourmet cake, enriched with crème pâtissière, is sure to please! Here are the best millefeuilles in Paris to devour without delay!
