- La Patisserie des Reves, 93 rue de Bac, 7e (I love the tarts)
- Hugo & Victor, 40 blvd Raspail, 7e (passionfruit tart)
- Pain de Sucre, 14 rue Rambuteau, 3e
- Sadaharu Aoki, 35 rue Vaugirard, 6e (Bamboo cake)
- Pierre Herme, 72 rue Bonaparte, 6e (Ispahan croissant)
- Carl Marletti, 51 rue Censier, 5e
- Laduree, 75 blvd Champs-Elysees, 8e (many other locations). I like the St Honore rose-framboise and the kouign amann.

For chocolates, I like:
- Patrick Roger chocolates, 108 blvd St Germain, 6e (many other locations, though). The dark chocolates are terrific.

BON APPETIT!

Don't forget about Jacques Genin's made-to-order millefeuille and passion fruit salted caramels!

Oh my goodness, we had the BEST dinner one evening feasting on savories we picked up at Gerard Mulot that rainy afternoon....

also not to miss is the 3-year-old Comte @ Laurent Dubois,
