An experience at Le Panier will momentarily drop you onto a charming street corner of Paris, what with its quintessentially French selection of baked goods.

Run with passion by Gilles and Nikki Thebault, Le Panier started at the farmers’ market before an insatiable appetite for their authentic loaves and flaky pastries made with Canterbury produce inspired them to open their Holmwood Road bakery in 2013.

The story only gets more delicious at Riverside, where the boulangerie will send you away skipping with a rustic baguette or Pain de Campagne tucked under your arm (how Parisian of you!) and a box of dainty tarts, eclairs and croissants that are almost too beautiful to eat – almost.
