At 104 rue Saint-Maur, La Panifacture is a Parisian artisan bakery that showcases its doughs and puff-pastry work. Its “flan fleur”, or flower-shaped flan, is recognisable by its shape: puff pastry rises like a flower or basket around a smooth, soft vanilla custard. The design gives the crisp pastry more prominence than in a traditional flan with straight sides.
A flan noted by food guides
In its 2026 selection, Yonder focuses on the shape of this flan, its puff pastry and the texture of the custard. Le Fooding, in its listing updated in October 2026, also highlights the vanilla flan among the pastries that distinguish this bakery.
La Panifacture is a neighbourhood bakery in Paris’s 11th arrondissement, close to Oberkampf. The flan is bought like any other bakery pastry, rather than booked as an experience; the availability of slices may vary with production.
