Paris Easter Chocolate Parade and an Easter Letter Special

Ta Da. The promised Paris Easter chocolate parade.
 Abstract chocolate bath duckies from Eclair de Genie. Do they melt in the bath?
Wild looking egg tins from Galler chocolates hide mini chocolate eggs inside.
Larnicol always has the craziest chocolate chickens every Easter.
Arnaud Larher features a whimsical chocolate circus this year.
Bon Marché's hens are dressed as sailors adrift wearing mariner T-shirts sitting in life preservers. Hmm...
Michel Cluizel has classic French goofy chickens  every year.
Jean-Paul Hévin takes chocolate chickens to new heights. Hens in the moon?
Gold hens and fish atop chocolate bells.
I love his colorful button chocolate eggs though I can't think what buttons have to do with eggs or Easter.
At Bü you can buy giant decorative eggs and fill them yourself.
I caught the master of Paris' chocolate jungle, Patrick Roger setting up his Easter window.
He was in the middle of a shoot but look at that chocolate gorilla sculpture! And those chocolate 'fried egg'.
My favorite Paris Easter window - Patisserie des Reves...a don't miss.
Please don't miss La Table de Nana's wonderful post on my Paris maps. 
Mille merci Monique!

  1. Love your Easter chocolates. Remembered the story of the church bells flying. Went to see Le Table de Nana's post. She is so right about you publishing a book. I see a travel book. I love the maps. Inspire all of us to want to go to the neighborhoods. Happy Easter.

    How serendipitous capturing Patrick Roger in his window, Carol! And, he took the time to "pose" for you. Makes me love his chocolate even more. Enjoy Easter (and the chocolate!) in Paris!

    I love that chocolate gorilla! Imagine the patience and creativity that would take! At first I thought it was a baboon or orangutan.

  6. Happy Easter, Carol. It would be such fun to put together Easter baskets with all Paris has to offer but I'm sure also tres cher.

  12. Absolutely love your capture of Patrick Roger in the window! Great surprise. I saw him inside his Madeleine boutique a few weeks ago and couldn't resist popping in to say hello and ended up taking a selfie - I hope you took one, Carol. Yes, these hens on the moon are great fun!

  13. Love the flying bunnies. You must have got that image in a dream, the one where you and Patrick Roger waltz under the Eiffel Tower made of chocolate. Very nice.
