One Sunday in Paris, I had good reason to visit Pierre Cluizel’s new chocolate salon.
Naturally, I was expecting a lovely chocolatier; one that would do his papa proud.
But I didn’t realize it would also be a salon de thé.
With event space.
And two kitchens: one for classes…
…and the other where the patisseries and desserts are made.
Indeed, it’s the first “chocolate concept store” the clerk explained to me, as I ogled the beautiful interior design…
…the rows and boxes of bonbons…
… the shelves stocked aplenty with truffles and tablettes, mendiants and chocolate-covered orange rinds.
I didn’t have any macarons or mini éclairs...
... but of course when I saw a chocolate chip cookie—made with all three chocolates: white, milk and dark—I had to sample.
The great search for le meiux in all of Paris continues.
But I will definitely be back to Un Dimanche another day for chocolaty treats before leaving Paris.
