Papa, sa fille, et l'éclair au chocolat

Papa, his daughter and the chocolate éclair

The two of them opened the bag from the pâtisserie.  He helped remove her red mittens, seen here peeking out of her coat pocket.  She patiently waited while he "prepared" the éclair for eating.  He patiently waited as she ate the éclair, and then shared with him.  They devoured it all, and he even had some wipes to remove the chocolate from hands and face.

This was late afternoon, and he had probably picked her up from school.  I wonder if they will tell Maman why this little French girl does not have much appetite for dinner.

La Maison du Chocolat -- eclairs

In the search for the perfect, very best eclair in Paris we discovered (for the moment) our favorite(s) at La Maison du Chocolat.  We had to have a caramel au beurre salé also, bien sûr!

The chocolate was rich, and the pastry was still firm, not soggy from the cream filling.  Fortunately for our waitlines, we had to walk to get there and back.  It is a chocolate eclair like this that makes me want to hide in the corner and devour it all!

Do not try this at home.
