I returned to the Salon du chocolat this morning (9:55 at opening time).
Mainly because I ate ๐ all the samples I collected to give my copyshop guy from opening night.
Like Peru, Ecuador, Brazil, Cรดte d’Ivoire…
Background music for downstairs.
I got to inform this chocolate ๐ซ maker, that it should say BEAN TO BAR…not BEEN TO BAR ๐ Quelle surprise ๐ฎ
Hawaii always has beautiful packaging.
The intense dark chocolate provides all the singing.
I took a break at the pastry demo in the back. Did I snooze ๐ด through the sample tasting? I did ๐

DeleteYou make me want to time my next visit to Paris around a trade fair or agricultural fair!
ReplyDeleteIt’s definitely worth You get to experience another side of Parisians. Residents and families. Not the chic or elegant at these events. And very relaxed.
DeleteSo much fun!!! Good you went back for some more. I missed the madeleines ๐
ReplyDeleteThe chocolate-dipped madeleines were well-hidden in a corner. I saw some ppl munching and asked them ๐

DeleteJust a general comment and a question: first, I so admire your chutzpah in moving to Paris and second, how much French do you speak at this point? Thanks so much for giving us these wonderful glimpses into our favorite city!
ReplyDeleteMy French is skimpy. I wish I had made more time & effort to improving it ๐คท♀️
