La Tour Eiffel + Chocolat = Ooh La La!

Sometimes having an obsessive photographer's eye saves one some euros and some calories. I was so preoccupied with capturing this window, that I just realized those fabulous chocolat la Tours were only 8.40e!! I would have paid that in a heartbeat and taken one back to nibble on for the week. NON, I wouldn't have eaten it... I would have made a zillion photographs of it! Maybe I'll have another chance to visit this shop in my future, located across from the Église Sainte-Trinité if memory serves.

Paris je t'aime
I fell in love with Paris in March 2007. It was as the French say, le coup de foudre : love at first sight. As a result of that trip, my photography took another direction. Since that time I have pursued a career of sorts in photography and dreamed of returning to the City of Light. November 2008 found me strolling the streets of Paris once again. My first visit I was so overwhelmed with the incredible beauty of the city, I photographed it as a "tourist". In 2008 I returned and I looked at the city with more of a photographer's eye. I wanted to capture the unique, the small details, and oh yes - the people! This blog was started as a photo diary of that trip, but I have been most fortunate to return to the city j'adore 15 times since. Each time I leave, I wipe a tear and start planning my list for the next trip. Paris may well be a moveable feast, but I think it's best savored in person! Someone told me that once you have been to Paris, you will leave a piece of your heart. I left mine right there, but I brought home some wonderful memories. It is my pleasure to share them with you.

Wow.....want to eat
Hmmm...you need to find that store again!
Is this a bit like eating the ears off of the chocolate Easter bunny? Would you start at the top... I think that I would begin nibbling at the bottom - hah!
You are right about the location: La Bonbonniere de la Trinite at 4, place d'Estienne-d'Orves... let's go!
Very tempting ! Very cruel of you to post this ! May just have to go by there to satisfy the intense chocolate craving you have just inspired... Endless fun in Paris !
I am SO there next month! This would make an interesting (if no doubt fleeting because I'd eat it for sure) addition to my little Tour Eiffel collection. Thanks for the tip, V!
Maybe when you bite the top off, Grand Marnier comes oozing out.
Oooo Nadege...I like your suggestion. What could be better than Grand Marnier and chocolate? Champagne & chocolate? Port & chocolate? Expresso & chocolate? Red Bull & chocolate...
Alexa,
I can't wait for your trip and your photos!
Nadege,
Oui, you are on to something good, very good!
Owen,
How do you resist all the decadence living in Paris?
Mary,
RED BULL ? Bleh! HA
David,
I think I can and I'll go back and buy one.
Genie,
So much Paris, so little time.
Jidhu,
Moi aussi!
Love your reflection in the ET composition, Virginia. Let's go & munch a little each day. I think from a structural standpoint, I would have to start at the top -- don't want it to topple over!
Wow this is a work of "chocolate" art!!
I just love visiting
you everyday..perfect way to start
my morning!!
Pamela xo
I will have to check this bonbonnière out in July! At "Jadis & Gourmande" (75004; 39, rue des Archives) you can also get chocolate Eiffel Towers.
Oooooh!!!! This is just tooooo delicious!!! And I'm drooling over Nadeges suggestion!!! I'm with M...I'd have to start at the top!!! (especially if there's Grand Marnier in it!)
Miam! Miam!
The chocolat is nice, but I really like the double exposure effect of your reflection.
Eleanor and M,
That is what I have named my "Paris Hair!" Good grief the rain makes it take on a life of its on! :)
Starman,
Abosolutely
Chieftess,
You have to start somewhere! :)
Pamela,
{Your blog, French Buttons, is a delight pour moi aussi!
Vreni,
Oh I"m so jealous you have a trip to look forward to!
Oh I just love the packaging!!!
Oh, I've seen these! Except they were somewhere close to rue Cambon, and they were a lot more expensive.... like 50 euros expensive. I took a picture of them too, along with the full-size chocolate replicas they had of Manolo Blahniks.
