Founded over a century ago in Croix, Northern France, Paul opens its door at luxe mall Central Embassy (1/F) today (Oct 15). 

Why you should be excited: It's a big chain so the French love to poo-poo it, but half the time it's better than the neighborhood boulanger.

Best know for producing over 140 types of bread, the chain has opened over 400 branches throughout the world, also specializing in pastries, cakes and croissants, as well as sandwiches and salads.
