Pierre Hermé
Caesar of Macaroons! The Maestro of French Pastry! The greatest pastry chef of our time, Pierre Hermé!
Hermé is the pastry chef that all are looking at, amateurs,
professionals and curious people from all over the world are coming to visit
Hermé’s spectacular pastry’s boutiques. His flagship store is located at the
6th Arrondissement of the city, right next to the impressive Church of Saint
Sulpice. Hermé is known
for his excellent especially made seasonal and holidays desserts and for his
world famous Macaroons. Don’t forget to try his vanilla Tourette
considered as one of the finest tourette in the world! And don't skip his “2000
leaves” cake made of caramelized layers of puff pastry with praline cream rich
with nuts.
Canal
Saint-Martin
One of my favorite areas of Paris is the area of “Canal Saint-Martin” on
the 10th Arrondissement, up north to “Place de la République”. In the last
couple of years, this area started to flourish and became the preferable
residential neighborhood for the city's BOBOs (BOurgeois BOhemian), and with
its vibrant nightlife scene it attracts students and tourists who are visiting
Paris. In past years the Canal was used for transferring goods and drinking water into Paris, these
days it is mainly being used for the enjoyment of the people of Paris and its
visitors. One of my greatest joys is to go out for a picnic on the Canal banks
in a Parisian sunny day, watch the crossing ships and enjoy the view of its
many dams.
Patrick Roger
Patrick Roger is the
Auguste Rodin of the chocolatiers. Known for his giant chocolate sculptures, he
is one of the world’s top chocolatiers.
Roger was awarded with the M.O.F title, a unique and prestigious title
which means “One of the Best Craftsmen of France”. Roger's chocolates are the best chocolates
you can find. Patrick Roger is known for his amazing talent to craft new and
magical tastes and new visuals while using only prime raw materials and
marvelous packing cases. If you are
planning to get a taste of his work, don't miss the cacao and chocolate coated
almonds (which he grows in his own almond orchard) and the “Roche” (Rock in French) - a square pieces of milk
and dark chocolate filled with fine praline.
KB CAFÉ
Finding a decent cup of coffee in Paris is not an easy task, however in the
last couple of years a few coffee shops appeared around the city where you can
find excellent coffee made of quality coffee beans which were handled in the
experienced hands of well-trained baristas, one of these coffee shops is the KB CAFÉ located on “RUE
DES MARTYRS” on the foot of the Montmartre Hill. If you go there don't miss the
Caffè Latte and the aromatic Carrot Cake.
