My most important discovery in Paris is… drumroll, please…
PATRICK ROGER.
His boutique is a beauty.
Everything is chocolate.
I am absolutely sure this is the place where all good people go after they die.
The nice lady at the shop gave me a piece of "Mellowness" to try.
It was dark chocolate with a fusion of almond and pistachio. It wasn't mellow. It was exquisite.
I bought a couple more dark chocolate pieces to snack on while I did my touristy bit.
I picked coffee, jasmine flower, almond-chestnut, praline, and orange peel.
And this semi-sphere chocolate they call "Colour"
I liked the traditional squares better.
It was packaged in a pretty little box
Patrick Roger chocolates are nothing like any other I've tried before. And you know I've tried A LOT.
On my last day in Paris, I passed by the Saint Germain boutique before going to the airport and blew all my leftover cash on the sweet precious things.
Too much temptation!!!
I bought boxes of my three Patrick Roger favorites
The richest, most decadent truffles made with cocoa beans from Vanuatu and Ecuador
Corsica. Dark chocolate-covered orange peel.
I never thought I would enjoy it, but I could not get enough of its bright and intense
chocolatey-citrusy flavors.
And my #1 favorite: the most addicting dark chocolate cubes called "Instincts"
Nougatine praline, foliate praline and hazelnut praline enrobed in the sexiest dark chocolate
in the world
The other boxes were for friends. This one was all for me!
And a bag of truffles to keep me sane during the long flight home.
Patrick Roger. Chocolate God. Creator of Heaven. My Reason for Living.
