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.
Wow.....want to eat
ReplyDeleteHmmm...you need to find that store again!
ReplyDeleteIs 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!
ReplyDeleteYou 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 !
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteMaybe when you bite the top off, Grand Marnier comes oozing out.
ReplyDeleteOooo Nadege...I like your suggestion. What could be better than Grand Marnier and chocolate? Champagne & chocolate? Port & chocolate? Expresso & chocolate? Red Bull & chocolate...
ReplyDeleteAlexa,
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteWow this is a work of "chocolate" art!!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteOooooh!!!! 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!)
ReplyDeleteMiam! Miam!
ReplyDeleteThe chocolat is nice, but I really like the double exposure effect of your reflection.
ReplyDeleteEleanor and M,
ReplyDeleteThat 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!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, 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.
