From a tiny oven on Rue des Martyrs, we shape sourdough by hand, laminate butter into 81 flaky layers, and pull warm croissants from the deck at seven sharp.
Our story
Madame Girard lit the first oven in 1962 with a single sourdough starter she carried from her mother's kitchen in Lyon. Sixty-three years later, that starter — now called Mathilde — still feeds every loaf we bake.
We don't do shortcuts. No industrial mixers, no frozen dough, no vanilla from a bottle. Just flour from the Beauce, butter from Charentes-Poitou, and the kind of patience that doesn't fit on a spreadsheet.

"The sourdough at La Mie Dorée is the reason I moved to the 9th arrondissement. That, and the fact that Mathilde — the starter — is older than me."
