A bit of Paris on Pine Street, this true-blue bakery sells authentically French creations, from delicious and slightly sour French country wheat bread to rustic-style desserts, including the locally famous cannelés de Bordeaux, custard baked in a copper mold. And if you're looking for a place to eat Boulangerie bread and pastries, visit their cafes -- Boulange de Polk, at 2310 Polk St. near Green St. (tel. 415/345-1107), or Boulange de Cole, at 1000 Cole St. at Parnassus St. (tel. 415/242-2442). Closed Monday.
