Top 5 French shops in Berlin

In Berlin you are able to enjoy a piece of France without having to leave home, because every two weeks you can read the French newspaper "La Gazette de Berlin" comfortably at the kitchen table while eating a croissant and drinking a café crème. If you do want to leave your home, however, I have summarised the best French delicatessens, bakery and destinations in this article. I want you to get a taste of France in Berlin by introducing my "Top 5 French shops in Berlin".
