La Creperie de Josselin - Paris

Crepes are often associated with Brittany, North-west region of France. That is the reason why you can find so many creperies around Montparnasse station, where many trains travel between Paris and Brittany. Among these creperies, one that really stands out is La Creperie de Josselin - and you can't miss this with bustling atmosphere inside the restaurant and people crowding outside for their turn.

To be even more specific, crepe is made of wheat flour, which is also known as crepe de Forment. However, if it is made of buckwheat (or sarrasin), then it is actually called galette. Crepe is sweet and is usually eaten as dessert or snack. On the other hand, galette is typically served as lunch or dinner, and carries a savoury taste.

On the menu of La Creperie de Josselin, you will be able to find a long list of options for crepes on the left hand, and similarly for galettes on the right hand side. In addition to this, this place serves the crepes or galettes in "couples". This means the batter is spread, the fillings are added, another already made crepe is layered on top and the whole thing is then folded before served.

If you have decision paralysis, maybe what you should do is to choose the specialties here - la crepe josselin and la crepe maraichere. Enjoy the authentic, hearty, delicious crepes with rich fillings and crispy edges.
