Paris Baguette Goes Boom

One of the most popular franchise stores here in Seoul is called Paris Baguette. Using Paris Baguette as a landmark in Seoul is not a good idea. On the way to the metro, the is a Paris Baguette and right across the street there is a Tous Les Jours (just about the same thing). We thought it was odd that the two stores were so close together, especially since there was ANOTHER Paris Baguette a block from that. We bought bread from the Paris Baguette across from Tous Les Jours the other day because we were on the PB side of the street. Yesterday, they were tearing that same Paris Baguette out. Guess Tous Les Jours won!

You can see the Tous Les Jours sign on the opposite side of the street from Paris Baguette:

Bye, Bye Paris Baguette:


*Updated: Paris Baguette re-opened about a week later as Paris Baguette Cafe with a second story added for seating. I guess Seoul can't get enough!
