Does Au Levain de Marais still exist?

[ctate]

We have a guidebook that gives 32 Rue de Turenne, Paris as the address of the much-loved bakery/patisserie Au Levain de Marais, but! Google [Maps] seems to think that the resident at that address is Le Moulin de Rosa.

We're inconsolable; we're planning a trip to Paris and Au Levain de Marais particularly caught our attention as a must-visit.

Does anyone know what the real situation is? Many many thanks!

David Lebovitz calls Au Levain du Marais "the best croissant in Paris," at the following address.

I'm going in September, to this address:
28, Blvd Beaumarchais (11th)
Tél: [phone]
(Closed Tuesday and Wednesday)
Métro: Bastille or Chemin Vert

Au Levain de Marais DOES exist at 28, Boulevard Beaumarchais, half way between Metro stops Chemin Vert and Bastille. It is on the northeast corner of Blvd. Beaumarchais and Rue du Pasteur Wagner.

I just came from there (Fri. 23 April 2010) and the croissants are truly fantastic!

Nope! It's changed hands and is no longer the wonderful bakery it once was. BUT-- just up the street (ok, a 20 minute walk or so) is Du Pain et Des Idees. Open only on weekdays but a must try. http://www.dupainetdesidees.com/

When I was staying right near there last May, it had changed name and ownership but was still a bakery...am going again next week and would love to know the status!
