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'.

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.
ReplyDeleteFun to see Easter in Paris..I still wish for the more traditional :)
ReplyDeleteAnd still love your hand painted ones..MORE.
Patrick Roger looks so sweet!
And that giant decorative egg:)
We're all clamoring for a book..so ...what are you waiting for?:)
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!
ReplyDeleteThanks Carol. Happy Spring! xo Kathryn
ReplyDeleteI love that chocolate gorilla! Imagine the patience and creativity that would take! At first I thought it was a baboon or orangutan.
ReplyDeleteHappy 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.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing all the chocolates, Carol. Visiting the chocolate shops in Paris is a daily activity when visiting. '-)
ReplyDeleteI agree with Monique. You should publish a book. Love, love, love your work!
Happy Easter!
Brava! I look forward to your Easter posts every year. Hope yours will be a joyful
ReplyDeleteday with some warm weather.
What a beautiful and delicious post this is....
ReplyDeleteGood to know. The Paris chocolates are so unexpected!
ReplyDeleteI love all of your photos, Carol; but the first 2 are especially good - fabulous :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely 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!
ReplyDeleteLove 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.
ReplyDeleteWow!!! Look at all this wonderful Easter chocolate! I need to come to Paris at Easter to eat some chocolate hens etc. A book would be awesome à la Vivian Swift :)
