Pane Vivo Passy

Love good bread? Head to Pane Vivo, where you’ll find products that are good for your palate and the planet—the ideal combo! Their breads are made with heirloom wheat varieties, stone-ground whole grain flour, and 100% natural sourdough starter that’s over a century old. The result? Easily digestible bread with a low glycemic index (41.9/100). At Pane Vivo, you can try what some call “the most incredible bread in Paris”—Le Parisien, the product of three years of research.

Why we love them: The flour comes from organic heirloom Sicilian wheat. The sourdough starter is natural and refreshed every morning by the bakers. Pane Vivo offers 10 different breads, plus delicious vegetarian and vegan bruschettas. Bread and sourdough education is a core value. All products use organic ingredients, and fruits and vegetables are seasonal and locally sourced. All breads are baked in the 20th arrondissement, then delivered to other locations and shops. Reusable organic cotton bags are available for purchase, and bread bags are paper.

Their recommendation: Try the vegetarian and vegan bruschettas, organic juices, or delicious pasta also available for sale.
