THE VERY FRENCH, VERY TASTY "ECLAIR"

LA FOLIE DES ECLAIRS

 The latest sweet trend in Paris right now is éclairs. An éclair is a long puff pastry if you will, (like a chou -in French), filled with all kinds of mouth watering creams and covered in no less mouth watering and  often very creative "frosting". 

If you are going to follow this delicious path, I suggest you go straight to the great foodie street of Rue Montorgueil in the 2nd arrondissement. There, around the corner, 9 rue Bacheaumont, you'll find the irresistible Atelier de l'Eclair. The shop's clean lines and minimalist vibe alone makes it very difficult to pass by...

Their éclairs are made on the premises and you can watch them being "decorated" in a multitude of arty ways.

If you know the boxful you just acquired will not make it past the next corner, you might as well sit at the bar and enjoy...

…these...

among others.

au revoir.
