In Paris I lived in the Marais district. Just down from my apartment was the most decadent local bakery one could find. It was called “La Fougasse”, run by a couple and their children.
I have never been able to say no to good food so living near this place made it impossible. Coffee éclairs, mini strawberry cheesecakes, lemon lime tart, profiteroles, the list goes on…They were even wrapped in crisp red paper and tied with a silver ribbon. The presentation, the flavour, and the fact that it was a 2 second walk away made me fall even more in love with food.
You would think after 6 months of this I would be the size of a house but no… French patisseries are a part of everyday life. They somehow manage to effortlessly fit themselves in with the rest of a typical French diet. They’re not viewed as “fatty” but rather, enjoyable. So this is what I enjoyed.
