During our stay in Paris, we were fortunate to experience one of Paris' most
beloved treasures: fine pastries, chocolates and excellent bread. Ah oui,
les baguettes! Paris' most famous bread, nonetheless a delicacy to foreigners.
We visited various pâtisseries, chocolatiers and boulangeries, which
included the famous Paul and Gerard Mulot establishments.
Every time we passed by one of these places, we were indulged by the scent
coming from the store and visually tempted by the number of pastries, bread
and desserts that we saw through the glass windows. It was unbelievable to
experience and taste the wide selection of pastries and chocolates available
to eat. It seemed like we went into a candy factory. We had a hard time deciding
what item to choose.
For a couple of us, the decision was obvious. For instance, for Sebastian
it was the brioche bread, which he faithfully bought most of the time
he went to Paul. Then, there was Carrie who fell in love with the
Parisian pastries, especially the galette des rois; Michael and Alexis
who were consistently buying the petits fours; and Punya who always
tried to experience something new to add to his rich variety of extravagant
meals. At the end, all of our selections were excellent and even when we
were full we always we wanted to eat more. Everything just tasted so great.
