Fodor's Expert Review Pierre Hermé
St-Germain-des-Pres
Food/Candy
Hermé may be Paris's most renowned pâtissier. Sample the peerless cakes and cookies, or savor the chocolate delights (classic varieties, like the dark-chocolate and orange-rind batons, are perennial favorites). Hermé offers a scrumptious, zesty lemon pound cake preboxed and dense enough to survive the trip home ... maybe. There are more than 10 Paris locations.
