One of the best things about Paris is the abundance of fine chocolate makers. The creativity of many of the chocolatiers is amazing. This is at Patrick Roger. (Be sure to check out their site — some of the other stores are even more amazing.) Oh, and they deliver…
Yes, they’re chocolate! These are at Jean-Charles Rochoux, who was amazing. We got some chocolat liqeuers there that were just wonderful. (Their web site is cute but utterly useless). There’s a nice review of his shop here.

So this was our dinner in Paris that evening, in our hotel room, with our 25th anniversary bottle of wine from the hotel staff. Chocolat, bread from Poullaine, charcuteries and local cheeses, and Laduree and Pierre Hermes macarons for dessert!. Would you believe that with all the walking, we even lost a couple pounds in Paris?!
Oh, and check this out — chocolat stamps!

I was drawn here to your blog by reading your comment on Rain’s blog about the Hummingbird who “thanked you”…I LOVED that and so I wanted to meet the person that wrote that.
I LOVE Chocolate and this post is scrumptious. It is bizarre because I just finished a 12 part Blog about my trip to The South Of France in 1969…Chocolate was mentioned in those posts, among other things….
It sounds like you all had a very special Anniversary there!
I must visit those Chocolate Sites you mentioned.
Thanks — I’ll have to come check out your posts on France!
Yeah, the chocolate was really good, but now I’m longing to travel to Belgium for comparison… Teuscher’s is one of my favorites that I get every time I’m in San Francisco.
The hummingbird was pretty cool. I do take care of my garden birds pretty well — it was nice to be thanked for it!
