I just had it last week! It was outside a Loire Valley chateau (can't remember which one)..went to six. I was very tired and quickly glanced at the ice cream menu. I thought I was
ordering something like a sundae...it was called a Dauphine parfait. When it arrived I had a dish of SEVEN scoops of ice cream/sorbet. It had vanilla, dark chocolate with chunks, strawberry, apricot, tangerine, peach and raspberry.
I told myself I would just taste each one but it was so fabulous I ate the WHOLE thing. I then realized it was then famous Berthillion I had heard so much about. It is all true..the very, very best ice cream I have ever had. I had it two more times on my trip. I loved the coffee flavor and the vanilla was out of this world. Also the tangerine and apricot were right up there.
I also wondered each time I had creme brulee and creme caramel that maybe I should quit wasting time with dinner and go straight to dessert.
