Reviews of interest

The Gannet (2015) “The chocolate are à l’ancienne, which means instead of being sugary, the flavors are strong and bittersweet, which was how traditional Parisian chocolates were made before cream (and refrigeration) become more widely used.

David Lebovitz (2011) “… one of my favorite shops in Paris. I’m absolutely addicted to the thin crisps of spice bread enrobed in dark chocolate as well as to the house-made pâtes de fruits…”
