The Paris Egg Report

 

This week I’ve been browsing dozens of Paris’ Easter eggs. To quote LauraStorg, top Paris journalist you should all be reading, Sales of chocolate are so important for Easter in France that chocolate shops have been called “essential shops” like hairdressers and bookstores in the new lockdown law. 

Again Pierre Hermé wins Top egg in Paris with an artistic collab with decorator Thomas Boog. (59€ )What a fantastical plethora of fruits de mer/seashells with even more tiny chocolate fish nesting inside. 

Sadly the fab frame does not come with the egg. Nor can you buy just the frame (if you’re doing Keto) 😢 

A sneak peek at the  Easter ‘Cash Register Collection’. *You won’t find these on PH’s website. 

Further down the street the dreamy La Mere de Famille. 

Step into a time machine when you were 7. 

I bought the mini egg crate (the French love these), not the big ‘Oeuf Benedicte’ (ha ha) to the right. 

And I bought a mid-size bunny to paint nonstop this week. Find my chocolate bunny watercolors on Etsy. 

Three Parisians about to break through the window/vitrine at Chez Bogata in the Marais. If you like your Easter eggs lounging in striped deck chairs you’re in the right place. 

A few steps away, Eataly on rue St. Merie, has those ginormous eggs you only find in Italy wrapped in showy foil and big bows.

The BBC has a soothing tell-all egg story. Who knew an egg became a symbol of life because it encloses nascent life to emerge from it. It embodies the idea of rebirth and rejuvenation in the cycle of life, reflected also in its shape, with neither beginning nor end. ... Christianity adopted eggs as a symbol of fertility, resurrection, and eternal life. Etc.

Are you planning an egg-centric dessert for Easter? Let charming Ava show you how they do it in Southern Italy. Fun watching, even if like me, you bake nothing/niente. 

Is there a fibber in the family like Pinocchio? The perfect egg cup is at Créateur de Reves.

    Like this gent looking for a bottle for his baguettes at NICOLAS. Do you want to see more Paris Easter pics? Bunnies, chickens etc.? Do tell please   🐰🐥🌷
