Sucré Coeur Overview – a Pâtisserie Innovante
Sucré Coeur sells pastries, miniatures, travel snacks, cakes, spreads. jams, and salty shortbread.
In the creation and development of these artisanal treats, Sucré Coeur actively sources the raw materials essential to the taste and flavor of their products. Materials such as fresh farm eggs, Gérentes milk and cream, butter from the Yssingelais Mountains, and organic flour from the Moulins de Versailles.
Sucré Coeur’s chocolates are naturally colored using fruit powders. while the fruits are fresh and seasonal.
Additionally, their products are created without the use of gluten or animal gelatin. They offer both small single sizes as well as larger offerings to take home and share with others.
For the larger orders for four to eight people, they ask you to call them a few days ahead of the event.
Where portions large enough to serve 10, you must order them in person or by phone a week ahead. They also offer a selection of spreads and jams to to be enjoyed at a later time.
Blogger’s Note: In France, a pâtisserie is more than just a bakery—it’s a pastry shop specializing in finely crafted sweets made by a certified pastry chef, or pâtissier. Sucré Coeur lives up to this title with every elegant bite!

Sucré Coeur – My End-of-Day Treat
My first choice was literally on a platter, on the counter, waiting for me to take it home. I mean, who does not enjoy a good brownie?
The Chocolate and Hazelnut Brownie was surprisingly light, uncomplicated, yet completely satisfied my hunger pains. It unfortunately did not survive the trip home and was consumed before I had an opportunity to photograph it.
As I was on my way home through the Metro, I asked them to suggest what would travel well. It was suggested I give the Gilles a try. It would be a light and delicious end-of-day treat.
The Gilles was a lime and basil cream and jelly, almond dacquoise, topped on a shortcrust pastry. The combination of lime and basil was unexpected; however, I will say it was a flavorful combination, which was balanced by the almond flavor of the shortcrust pastry.
Blogger’s Note: A dacquoise is a classic French dessert made from layers of nut-flavored meringue—typically with ground almonds or hazelnuts—paired with fillings like buttercream, ganache, or whipped cream.
Sucré Coeur – Ambiance & Service
The shop itself was small, sophisticated, and elegant. There were some tables and chairs, which were placed outside, for savoring and enjoying your selections.
The trees lining Rue Custine provided a cool haven from the harsh and bright summer light. Had I arrived earlier in the day, it would have been an idyllic setting to relax and enjoy a little afternoon sweet.
Sucré Coeur – The Verdict
Owner Marie Dieudonné has outdone herself in creating a creative approach to pastries without abandoning the classics. The flavors are light, subtle, and sophisticated. With a perfect balance of flavor and sweetness.
Nothing is overbearing, while quietly complementing each other in their combination. It is no wonder Marie won the first Trophée Fou de Pâtisserie in the “responsible pastry” category in November 2021.
There is literally something for everyone in this quiet, hidden little gem at the base of Montmartre. I only wish I had more time and a larger stomach to try everything. Perhaps next time …
Sucré Coeur – the Location
Sucré Coeur – 21 Rue Custine, Paris, 18ème. Paris, France
Nearest Metro Station: Take Line 2 to Anvers station. Exit via Boulevard de Rochechouart / Sacré-Cœur (Exit 1), then head straight up Rue de Steinkerque—a short pedestrian street that leads directly to the base of the hill. From there, you can either take the funicular or climb the steps to reach Sacré-Cœur. The walk takes about 10 minutes.
Sucré Coeur – What’s in a Name?
There’s no official word, but the resemblance is hard to ignore. In French, Sacré-Cœur means “Sacred Heart”, a reference to the heart of Jesus and a symbol of divine love.
Meanwhile, Sucré Cœur, translates as “Sweet Heart”—a gentle twist that swaps the sacred for the sensory. Just one letter apart, the names share rhythm, reverence, and a quiet kind of devotion.
And fittingly, the two are close in more than name: Sucré Cœur sits just a 10-minute walk downhill from the basilica, tucked into the winding streets of Montmartre. One invites prayer, the other pastry—but both reward the climb.

It’s a very cute name! When I editing it, I didn’t realize that it was a play on the name of the basilica located nearby. I only discovered that later.
I loved exploring Montmartre. It’s one of my favorite parts of Paris. I didn’t stumble on the Sucré Coeur on previous visits. This is giving me reason for a return trip!
