des oeufs chocolate

Chocolate eggs, baskets, and other delectable treats 

are featured by the chocolatiers of Paris.  

The boutique windows are full of candies 

made in the fine traditions of the marchand de bonbons.

Although I have watched the Parisians buy these beautiful creations, 

I do not believe that I have seen them sit with a bag of chocolates on a park bench.

Joséphine Vannier - une guitare au chocolat

Chocolaterie Joséphine Vannier

A chocolate guitar?

Yes, what a birthday gift that would be...

I only looked in from the street 

but the reports on this chocolate shop indicate 

that the displays are eye-catching and clever, 

but the star performers are the delicious individually-dipped chocolates.

Now on the other side of the ocean from this chocolaterie, 

I am yearning for just one.  

Tant pis pour moi.
