FRENCH PASTERIES
















Our first couple of trips to the patisseries we focused on purchasing baguettes and croissants. Occasionally we lucked out and found freshly baked baguettes that were still warm. It wasn’t until the last days in Paris that we paid attention to the “dessert section” of the store. This was the beginning of our pastry tasting adventure. We tried éclairs, Opera squares, chocolate mousse cake, thin pastries with custard, macaroons, etc. We can’t remember what they were all called but we thought they were all delicious. We didn’t pass too many patisseries without having a look inside. Even Logan was able to find a type of French donut that was nut free.
Finding yummy treats was not only limited to the patisseries, we also found a certain type of chocolaty goodness in the grocery stores. This confection was like a dense waffle that had been glazed with granulated sugar then dipped in chocolate.
