The BO&MIE Saint-Michel boutique, at 5 boulevard Saint-Michel, belongs to the BO&MIE network of Parisian bakeries and pâtisseries. The house’s vanilla flan follows a fairly classic approach: firm custard, a distinct vanilla flavour and fine shortcrust pastry. Its sugar balance, described as restrained in the food press, sets this version apart from very rich or heavily laminated recipes.
A benchmark available in several shops
In its ranking of 2 July 2026, AD Magazine picks BO&MIE’s flan for its balance and explicitly lists the boulevard Saint-Michel address among the Paris shops selling it. The brand also refers to this distinction on its official website.
This bakery in the 5th arrondissement lets visitors try the house flan without choosing a sit-down pastry tasting requiring a booking. The range may nevertheless change with the day and the bakery’s production.
