Cherry cloufouti while everyone tasted flights from 27 Champagne houses.
This year was different. Entry was 10-15€
Children enter free. Tiny tastebuds need training.
An exquisite lunch was available at a reasonable 15€. And you could buy fabulous desserts if you missed out on the mini demonstration samples.
I had a ringside seat next to the pastry station.
No dessert went untasted after 4 days of abstaining in Cannes.
This is not a chunk of coal. But Yuzu ice cream 'enrobed' in dark chocolate chunks created by Ledoyen's fab pastry chef, Aurélien Rivoire.
Brut Rosé was the summer flavor of the day at Le Salon des champagnes et des Patisseries Fines
I had half a glass of 🥂 sparkling Delavenne, a house situated in Bouzy between Reims and Epernay. Did you know the US buys the largest quantities of 🍾Champagne? But only large brand names dominate. This is why attending a tasting at Le Salon des champagnes et des Patisseries Fines can be so informing. Meeting the Champagne makers of small houses is a delight. And yes they speak English.
There are 2,000.000 bubbles/bulles in each glass of Champagne? And 60,000,000 bubbles in a 🍾 bottle. No wonder the French love ❤️ bubbles so much.
I painted this bottle from Joseph PerrierFilsetCo. Its an homage to the original owners' daughter, Josephine. Would you like your name or another personalized on the bottle? You can find it on Etsy. Please be like the French. Plan ahead. Book your vacance for early July next year. Come say hello at my painting station. This Sunday soirée,Le Salon des champagnes et des Patisseries Fines is one of the best I've been to in Paris. I'll be waiting for you 😄 Thanks for reading Parisbreakfasts. Feel free to share. If you'd like a personalized🍾champagne watercolor or Paris letters let me know🥂🍾🍒. Love❤️ from Carolg 🥂 in Paris
