L’Atelier des Desserts

The chocolate éclair from this bakery will haunt my dreams for all time. From the day I found this place until the day that we left, three types of chocolate (chocolate cake, filling, and frosting) danced together in my mouth with the perfect amount of sweetness each morning on my walk to the Metro. It was the most beautiful, sweet, delightful treat I have ever had, anywhere.
We also bought a box of chocolates for my husband to take to his coworkers. Because they were not for me (the horrors!), I only had about three pieces, but they, too, were phenomenal.
The proprietress was very sweet (no pun intended), and elegant, very patient, and kind about my broken French. (Her English was far more fluent than my French, but on occasion we met in the middle.)
Needless to say: I felt that this place was worth the visit when in the area!
