History edit
Early history edit
La Maison Stohrer is credited as the oldest pâtisserie in Paris.[1][2] It was founded in 1730 by Nicolas Stohrer.[1] Stohrer worked as pastry chef to Stanisław Leszczyński, King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania.[1] In 1725 he accompanied Stanisław's daughter to France on the occasion of her marriage to Louis XV, establishing his bakery on the Rue Montorgueil in the 2nd arrondissement five years later, where it has been located since.[1][3]
In 1860, the interior of the shop was decorated with frescoes commissioned from a student of Paul-Jacques-Aimé Baudry.[1][4]
Later history edit
Elizabeth II visited the shop in 2004 during the state visit of the United Kingdom to France.[1]
In 2017, La Maison Stohrer was acquired by the Dolfi family, who also own the Mère de Famille, the oldest chocolate factory in Paris, as well as two historic chocolate shops in France.[5][4]
Products edit
The rum baba was created at La Maison Stohrer.[1] The shop is also known for its religieuse.[3]
