Fauchon

Fauchon
30, Place de la Madelaine
Paris
France
+33 1 70393800

Place de la Madelaine, where else should a foodie need to go when in Paris. Make sure you visit Fauchon. Like a child in a candy shop. From chocolats to entire meals. But when a little hungry don't forget they have fresh sandwiches as well.

Sandwich Baquette Foie Gras Fique ... just to name one .. and the packaging ... like a small handbag it looks superb. Their squeezed juices are a big treat as well. Never visit Paris without visiting Fauchon.

They even have a line for the supermarket, and don't expect to be a mediocre quality, it's superb !

What can I say .. yeh they are only a little bit more expansive but look at the quality you'll get in return. Rather buy once her a month than 3 times anywhere else. And yes they are that good!


 They believe in renewing and innovating but also trust in tradition. The pastry looks amazing en taste even better. It are small pieces of art. Also they sell ice cream in season of course also handmade. And not to forget the bonbons and the cakes. A treat to get something from them.

And a member of Relais Desserts International en dat kan zeker niet iedereen zeggen ...

Beautiful movie. You can say what you want about him, but feeling for music, rhythm and dance he had, and a lot. Perfection on stage.




And the nicest movie theater in the country ... 

 

Why can't I remember a day,
