Eclairs to die for...


If you already came to France you probably had the occasion to eat an "Eclair", that is a sort of long puff generally filled with chocolate of coffee custard. Now there is - much - more to them... At the Atelier de l'Eclair, a new pastry shop located at rue Bachaumont in the second arrondissement where I had the occasion to see many kinds, including salted butter, vanilla, lemon... and, even more unexpected, savory ones (cheese, ham, salmon and even foie gras!). If you come here, I really advice that you give it a try (the place is very nice too). You may also order them on the Internet, but I'm not sure about that, for to be good, éclairs must be really fresh.

  3. gosh Eric you are making my mouth water for one of these beauties.

    Somehow, ordering them from the internet just would not match the drool factor as walking in to Atelier de l'Eclair...im just saying

  4. What can I do to remember that adress ? In the second, easy of access with that !
    Half of the reason I go to Paris is coffee - I've said it before I know, but I never told anyone what was the other half : LES ÉCLAIRS !!! Isn't it obvious ??? :D

  5. Sweet AND savory eclairs? Oh dear—something tells me I should stay very far away from such a temptation.
    As for ordering them on the Internet, jamais de la vie! I'm with Anne—fresh or forget it.

  9. Arrrgh! You're killing me. With envy (and, at the moment, hunger). One more thing to add to my list of "must do" next time I'm in Paris.
