Well, since I haven't got a sweet tooth, I can't tell you about those but my favorite traiteur-charcuterie is Gilles Verot on Notre Dame des Champs just across from the St Placide Metro stop.

His stuff is good enough for Daniel Bouloud to go to the trouble of importing it for his restaurant in NYC.

Angelina on rue de Rivioli for the most decadent hot chocolate!

I like the fromagerie on the Ile St Louis, don't know the name but you can't miss it, on left hand side of the main street if you are facing away from Notre Dame. You may smell it before you see it.

G. Mulot, patisserie and boulangerie, 76 rue de Seine, amazing window displays and everything tastes as good as it looks.

Poilane boulangerie, rue du cherche midi and several other locations.

Enjoy! (And,please, let us know)

On our last trip to Paris, we became total chocoholics -- LOVE their dark chocolate. My favorite chocolatier is Jean Paul Hevin -- his chocolate is truly "heaven!" LOL His shop at 231 rue Saint-Honore has a small cafe upstairs where you can have lunch, drink hot chocolate, and eat the most decadent chocolate desserts.

Other favorite chocolate shops: La Maison du Chocolat (near Place Madeleine), Patrick Roger, and Michael Cluizel.

I also like the Bonnat chocolate bars that you can buy at Ets Lion (7 rue des Abbesses). And the salted caramels at A L’Etoile D’or (near the Moulin Rouge) - you will love the eccentric owner Denise Acabo.

For fromage: Marie-Anne Cantin at 12 rue du Champ de Mars (just off rue Cler)

Enjoy your return trip to Paris!!

Try the Food Halls at Galeries Lafayette. Lots of goodies here.

This is a hard one for me. There are so many good purveyors of all of those things that I find I don't necessarily go back to one or the other and will just "make do" with what's around me.

That said, we usually stay in Montmartre and one of my favorite bakeries is Le Grenier A Pain (Rue des Abbesses, although there are other locations).

Happy list-building!

Chocolatier -
Michel Chaudun for his paves
Jacques Genin
Jean Paul Hevin

Patisserie -
La Patisserie des Reves
Un Dimanche a Paris
Hugo et Victor

Gerard Mulot is my fav pain au chocolat, Un Dimanche a Paris for macarons....both are gorgeous shops. The caramels and those little chocolate discs with a pistachio, candied ginger and orange peel...I love them.

Can't pick any fave--too many choices--but I also love the pain au chocolat at Gerard Mulot. And the croissants at Pain de Sucre are excellent! Love the chocolate millefeuille at Jacques Genin.

Try Laurent Dubois on Blvd. Saint-Germain for cheese. Nearby is Pierre Oteiza if you're in the mood for Basque sausages. Can make a nice picnic if you're headed to Luxembourg Gardens.

Any favorites in the 10th?

Gerard Mulot, but confessing never tried else where as he was near the apartment.
Jaques Genin, but oh, his caramels!

I just finished the delightful book, Paris My Sweet by NY Times chocolate columnist Amy Thomas. She writes of her love affair with chocolates and other confections, giving names and addresses and a map of her favorites. Reading it, I felt as if I were back in Paris.

In December I spent 10 days in Paris. There is a Paris chocolate article in November/December Virtuoso Life Magazine on page 68. After checking out chocolate I know this would be a great guide for you. They wrote about a half day chocolate tour with Decouvertes Paris Tours. All the tours look amazing and I would tell anyone looking for something special to do to check out their website. One of the things I did while I was there was to take a cooking class at Cooking with Class, down behind Montemarte to learn how to make the famous Macarons. So whenever I saw them I always tried the same two, rose and salted carmel, to conduct my own taste test all over Paris. Results: Sadahazu Aoki in Galleries Lafayette won first place! I did not even know about these until we went to the food court upstairs. If you like food you really need to put this spot on your list. Plan to have lunch or an afternoon snack there. Close second was Perre Herme, who also has a English Cookbook just on the Macaron. Laduree, while beautiful, like their shops, had a very weak flavor. Sorry.

We concur on Gerard Mulot (we get little pastries for the trip home to console ourselves for having to leave Paris) and Jacques Genin for the mango passion fruit caramels.

We also make a stop at Henri Le Roux for salted butter caramels (Henri Le Roux
1, rue de Bourbon le Château (6th)
Métro: Odéon, Saint-Germain des-Prés, or Mabillon).

A fellow Fodorite sent us a treat from their last trip to Paris of Raisins au Sauternes which are chocolate coated raisins. She got them from da rosa 62 rue de Seine and they are fabulous.

OMG how did I forget to mention the pastries at Cafe Pouchkine?

The food hall at le Bon marche is fabulous! I also love poilane, 8 rue du cherche-midi in the 6th. Poilane has wonderful bread and croissants, however my favourite thing is their apple tart. Delicious.

Still haven't made it Pouchkine. Meet you there in six months, Patty?

No more summer in Paris for me How about Nov? Dec?

I read on another thread no more pastries at Jacques Genin. I was there earlier in the month for a chocolate millfeuille and eclairs. Was that the end for me?
