Clean Plate Club - Paris
Two members of the Clean Plate Club (CPC) took a meeting yesterday...
At Le Boulanger des Invalides Jocteur...
14 Avenue Villars, 75007Metro - Saint Francois-Xavier
Bus 87
Glorious pink walls...
Ciel bleu/blue skies overhead...
A contented chicken gazes out the window...All makes for a perfect setting to taste pastries from Lyon.
Paris CPC member, Louise Chauchard of Raids-Patisseriechooses the menu.
And explains the order we'll taste.
First we shoot our food bien sur!
Louise divides up the pastries...
But explains the only way to really taste these is by using our hands like a child. Forks and spoons are NOT permitted.
There's a fun exhibit at Musee de la Poupee on just this subject, displaying vintage ads of children eating at Impasse Berthaud 75003 near rue Rambuteau. Did I mention everything was out of this world delicious at Jocteur - perhaps the best tastes of my trip.
Louise sends me off to discover new patisserie, Sebastien Degardin, 29, boulevarde de Rueilly 75012. One must support new pastrie shops non? More to come on Degardin.
End of day I visit Patisserie des Reves on rue du Bac to view their latest creations - it's just research after all...
I'm heading back to New York this afternoon - a Swiss Sleep cure in Astoria awaits me.
And serious exercise with no desserts on the menu for a while.
