 Step inside and you'll wonder where you are? Back in a gradeschool classroom?

 Under banks of apothecary jars full of French regional candies, old-fashioned school desks are waiting...

 Take your places children! 
But this schoolroom is a barrel of fun with no homework required.

 Look carefully in the candy cases and you'll find inside old school things of shop owner Georges.

 Georges was born in Brazil and came to France at age 4, and like most French, he is deeply attached to the souvenirs of his childhood.Especially the candies!

 Georges is happy to give you a petit lecon in geographie. Where to find the best regional French candies in France.

 Coussin de Lyon is noted for their marzipan blue pillows of sweetness.

 Le Bonbon au Palais offers so many paintable still life opportunities. I'll do more when I get home.

 Though the shop only opened 3 years ago, it's level of excellence was noted in Alain Ducasses' J'Aime Paris.

 Across the street is a children's playground.
