I'm in love...with Joséphine Vannier's chocolates.
Located in the high-class neighborhood La Place des Vosges, this chocolate shop is famous for its chocolate sculptures of the Eiffel Tower and other extravagant entities. It is also famous for their extraordinarily delicious chocolates.
They don't come cheap, by the way, but then again, who cares? Made with love and extreme attention to detail and design, these petite pieces of chocolate are truly works of art. Some are stuffed with flavors such as passion fruit and currant(!), some are infused with green tea or chili, and some are just old-fashioned praline and dark chocolate.
I bought 10 pieces and I finished them all by the next day. They are seriously addictive. A piece of heaven in each bite, each morsel.
They were so good, that I wanted to buy some for my family as souvenirs went I returned home. Unfortunately, the shop was closed for summer vacation when I went back a few weeks later. My heart broke... :'(
Regardless, I vow to return to this awesome chocolate shop in the future. I swear, I could rob this place of all of its chocolates- I want them all!
