At 32 rue Saint-Placide, Mille & Un is a bakery and pâtisserie run by chef Yongsang Seo. Its flan combines a particularly creamy vanilla filling with fine puff pastry, baked to create the expected crisp contrast. A black sesame version is also mentioned in the food press, subject to the creations available at the time of your visit.
An Île-de-France distinction
In 2023, this bakery won a best Parisian flan competition organised by the Syndicat des Boulangers du Grand Paris, a distinction recalled by AD Magazine in 2026. Gault&Millau, for its part, highlights the role of fresh milk in the flavour and texture of the custard.
It is a worthwhile stop for comparing a flan with a prominent creamy filling against versions based on shortbread or with a firmer custard. The different variations are not necessarily available at all times.
