WASHINGTON, DC- June 1, 2012- Established in Lille, France in 1889, PAUL Bakery is world-renown with nearly 500 stores in 25 countries, and in such prime locations as Amsterdam, Bahrain, Brussels, London, Madrid, Paris, Tokyo, and Qatar. On Monday, June 4, 2012, PAUL will open its third bakery café in the heart of Washington DC at 1000 Connecticut Avenue NW.
A brand new building, 1000 Connecticut Avenue is located at one of Washington's most strategic corners at the intersection of Connecticut Avenue and K Street northwest.

The trophy building is designed by Pei Cobb Freed and is expected to achieve Gold Rating by the United States Green Building Council Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (USGBC LEED). Farragut West Metro, and the finest restaurants, hotels, and shopping are steps away.
Even though PAUL is opening in a brand new glass, steel and granite building, its interior design inspires French comfort in a warm and welcoming ambiance, reminiscent of authentic French bakeries, and decorated so guests feel transported to a traditional boulangerie café in France. The 2000 sq ft bakery will seat 28 people inside, and a soon-to-open outdoor patio will accommodate approximately 20 people.
