A chocolate croissant—is it correct to call it a pain au chocolat or a chocolatine in France? Depends on who you ask. It’s a subject of great debate that’s been addressed by the French Parliament and President Emmanuel Macron. We went straight to the people who bake these delicious pastries for an answer. But even they can’t agree. Nous ne prenons pas parti!

  1. There should not be a debate there is different way to call it depending of where you are. As I grew up in Paris and now live in South west I am bilingual I use chocolatine where I live and pain au chocolat in Paris.

  2. The French are busy fighting over a name for a pastry.
    Meanwhile in India, several dishes have 50 different names…

  3. Anyone who gets upset that some people call it either "pain au chocolat" or "chocolatine" genuinely have a low I.Q.

    It doesn't matter its the same pastry
