Rue du Montparnasse has been the address for crêpes in Paris for decades. Trains from the coast arriving at neighbouring Gare Montparnasse have long brought all things Breton to the capital, chief among them salted caramel, buckwheat flour and artisanal cider. Start with a bolée (never a glass) of the latter while you peruse the menu and stave off any hangry feelings at the street’s best-known haunt, La Crêperie de Josselin. At the closely packed tables behind lace-curtained windows, you can get stuck into a menu of buckwheat galettes and sweet crêpe; always stay for two courses (around €20). Highlights include the filling savoyarde, with reblochon cheese, ham and potatoes followed by an apple compote crêpe flambéed in Normandy’s famous appley brandy, calvados.
