Paris Patisserie

Welcome aboard the T&T tour of some of  our favourite Patisserie stops in Paris.

Eclairs by Christophe Adam, tempting selection and beautifully presented and decorated.

Drum roll please.. " And the winner is ... passion fruit and raspberry."

What's not to love about Pierre Herme, so much to choose from. The staff spoke English which was seriously great and they were happy to allow us to take pictures. Winning !

The gorgeous pink creation is one of Pierre Herme signature desserts called the Ispahan. Rose creme with  lychee and raspberries, topped with a rose petal and a dew drop.

Wild strawberries nestled in a pillow of green called Desire was our next choice. This creation was made up of a lemon sable biscuit, lemon creme with banana and strawberry compote. It was delicious light and fresh.

Introducing the Ispahan croissant

Seriously yum, is the only way to explain this work of art.

The center of the croissant hides a delightful surprise of a rose flavoured almond paste along with a raspberry and lychee compote. The croissant is brushed with a rosewater glaze and a delightful sprinkling of freeze dried raspberry pieces.

Chocolate and pistachio macrons too good to pass up. Pistachio paste can divide the masses, (well me, anyway) some pastes can have a very artificial flavour. Very happy to report this was pretty good.

Mr T&T loves raspberries and I love mille feuille, a very happy compromise.

Angelina's is famous for their hot chocolate which was thick, velvet and delicious.  The beautiful 

display of wicked goodness, did not disappoint. 

Fauchon was the next stop, we left with our precious cargo of macrons. Each one was sublime goodness. 

What was wonderful to see was all the other regular Patisserie stores. You do not need to be a 'big name' to deliver a great product.

The owner of this Patisserie store kindly let us take photos. 

The croquembouche was pretty amazing. Macaron tower anyone ?

A big thank you to Mr T&T for being quite happy to explore Paris with me

 Next holiday will be of your choosing, er.. after we have been to the Kitchen and Patisserie stores.
