Maison Larnicol Chocolaterie, Paris

Well worth a visit: EVERYTHING is made of chocolate and there are billions of different scoop-your-own tiny chocolates. Chocolate praline-covered mandarin segments... have a look at their website.

Ladurée (again)

I've blogged about LadurĂ©e before. This visit was JUST AS GOOD. 


They make their own champagne: who knew. 




I blogged about having a rustic kouign amman in St Malo a few years ago.

My favourite every pastry: the palmier (front left). The thing in the middle is a Paris Brest. 






Fromagerie Alleosse


Alleosse: the best cheesery in Paris.
