Chocolate Art at Easter Time

This was the display of our favourite (at least mine) in our area yesterday(Easter Sunday)....see the beautiful chocolate? that was probably merely 1/3 of what they had left over. I should have taken a shot to the right past the entrance to show the 50+ people queue. So observation 1 - Parisians will walk a few blocks out in search of their local favourite 'pattiserie' and bakery...and I now understand why since I am doing it too. The quality of the baguette, cakes can be so much more refined than your nearest joint. 2nd observation...you think us British had the monopoly on Easter bunnies....come to France! For a couple of weeks now many of the 'pattiseries' have been displaying their works of chocolate art carefully wrapped in plastic film in preparation for the Easter weekend in the form of bells, chickens, rabbits, fish...and compilations of farmyard animals in their own chocolate pen...endless creativity.

Needless to say that I won't be touching chocolate with a barge pole for a while.

Happy Easter!
