[Paris pastry shop / 巴黎甜點店] #巴黎最古老的甜點店 Stohrer / The oldest pastry shop in Paris - Stohrer, la plus ancienne pâtisserie de Paris (for English, please click "see more")
還記得上次我跟大家介紹過「巴巴」（baba）嗎？1725 年，巴巴的發明人 Nicolas Stohrer 跟著 Stanisław Leszczyński 老國王的女兒瑪麗一起到達巴黎，瑪麗嫁給路易十五（Louis XV），Stohrer 則在宮廷中待了五年。1730 年，他在巴黎市中心的 Rue Montorgueil 上開了一家甜點店，販賣自己的拿手作品，這家店與他的甜點從此便成為巴黎的傳奇。
Stohrer 屹立不搖近三個世紀，是全球甜點迷朝聖的景點之一。華麗的店內裝潢是法國十九世紀後半的精品，由第二帝國（le Second Empire）時期最具盛名的畫家 Paul Baudry 的學生設計。Paul Baudry 同時也是巴黎伽尼葉歌劇院（Opéra de Paris）的室內裝飾設計者。Stohrer 的經典如甜點巴巴、愛之泉（Puits d'amour）等一直受到愛戴直至今日。愛之泉是英國女王伊麗莎白二世（Elizabeth II）的最愛，女王曾在未事先通知的狀況下親自到訪 Stohrer 品嚐甜點，為老店的魅力更添一筆。
如今的 Stohrer 已非 Nicolas Stohrer 的後人經營，2017 年由巴黎最早的巧克力店 À la Mère de Famille 買下，現在由 Jeffrey Cagnes 擔任甜點主廚。Jeffrey 主廚在二度回到 Stohrer 之前，曾經擔任 Casse Noisette 的主廚，而後者的店址如今正是由 Cedric Grolet 主廚的新店 Cédric Grolet Opéra 接手。

Still remember that we've talked about "Baba", a classic French pastry that has been revisited a lot and modernized in non-alcoholic and even Japanese dorayaki versions? Nicolas Stohrer, the inventor of Baba, followed Marie Leszczyński, daughter of the former King of Poland Stanisław Leszczyński, to Paris in 1725 and then opened his own shop on 51 Rue Montorgueil 5 years later. He named the shop after his own family name Stohrer. The shop and his wonderful pastries thus become a legend ever since.
Almost 300 years have passed since the shop is founded. Stohrer is now a mecca for many pastry lovers around the world. Its lavish interior decoration was designed by a student of Paul Baudry, one of the most famous painter during the Second French Empire. Paris Opera house is one of his most renowned works. Stohrer's classic pastries such as Baba and Puits d'amour are still loved by many. Queen Elizabeth II of UK is one of the biggest fans of Puits d'amour. The story that the Queen has visited the shop without advanced notice and enjoyed this delicacy adds more charm to this legendary shop.
Stohrer is no longer owned by the descendants of its founder. It was bought by the family Dolfi, the owner of À la Mère de Famille, the oldest chocolat shop founded in 1761 in Paris. Jeffrey Cagnes is the current chef pâtissier, who once headed Casse Noisette before returning to Stohrer, where he had worked for many years. (The old address of Casse Noisette is now taken over by the chef Cédric Grolet for his own pâtisserie-boulangerie to open in 18th November this year.)
