Kismet (noun): destiny;fateSome things are just meant to be. While doing a bit of "research" for the
wine shack, I happenend across this Parisian paradise,
Chocolaterie Joséphine Vannier. Absolutely stunning looking chocolates that apparently are some of the best things one could hope to slide between ones lips while in France! The kismet part? Early May, w and I will be
à Paris. The address of Josephine's oasis of cocoa bliss is 4, Rue Pas de la Mule. Our apartment we've rented in the Marais is conveniently located about four doors down. Kismet indeed!!
......two great things that go great together! If you have plans to visit what I consider the greatest city in the world anytime soon...or not so soon...biking from chocolatier to chocolatier across the city sound like the perfect afternoon. I came across this article on the NYT website today detailing writer Amy Thomas own Le Tour du Chocolat. To her two-wheeled itinerary (and what a way to rationalize indulgence!), I would suggest adding the remarkable artistic caloric creations at Chocolatier Joséphine Vannier (some of whose "pieces" are shown with this post), which w and I visited on our last trip. At so many of these shops, it's almost like you're eating art, which is a fabulous concept!
