I have never in my life met a man more passionate about his job than Georges. He owns le bonbon au palais on Rue Monge in Paris. I was utterly enchanted upon entering. I went with two partners; we all bought a few things and did some sharing. I bought orange blossom and raspberry marshmallows. They were simply amazing. N agreed (I brought him one back, aren't I a nice fiancée?). He could tell you about the ingredients, the history and production of all of the candies, which he sources from the best artisanal companies in all of France.
We spent our afternoon wandering around the St-Germain and the Jardins du Luxembourg eating our treats. It was a lovely day.

I want to go to there! Also, I love how four lines of french translates into one in English.
ReplyDeletewait, I just pseudo-translated the rest...le sigh.
