Rue Montorgueil and Les Halles in Pictures
By Courtney Traub, About.com
La Maison Stohrer is one of the city's oldest and most revered patisseries (pastry shops) and caterers. The shop on Rue Montorgueil is the oldest and opened in the early 18th century. The storefront and interior alone are admirable for their elaborate frescoes and carvings. This shot, taken on a Sunday, gives a sense of how crowded the store gets, especially during the weekend.
