I love hard candies and I must admit the French know how to make candy! Any suggestions for chocolate are also welcome, but my main search is for a nice candy store. Wed Oct 28 06:06:21 -0700 2009 208252 tacotete 1 5137436 I think that L'Etoile d'Or may be what you are looking for. Denise Acabo is a true candy mavin and the only person in Paris to sell Bernachon chocolates from Lyon. She carries what she considers the best of the best in each candy category, from chocolates through caramels, fruit jellies, hard candies. And Denise, herself, is worth the trip: wildly enthusiastic about teaching newcomers about her products. http://spanishgluttony.blogspot.com/2009/09/letoile-dor-paris.html l'Etoile d'Or 30 rue Fontaine 01 48 74 59 55 Metro Blanche. My notes say closed Sunday and Monday. Wed Oct 28 10:16:26 -0700 2009 5136791 1107357 mangeur 2 5137486 Big second for this shop. First time we met, after looking around she gave me 'la bise' on the lips . She is a treasure and the shop while a bit pricey is also.

A nice trip in childhood. A la Mère de Famille, several shops in different districts : chocolate and candies (www.lameredefamille.com).
