La Fougasse -- pattisserie extraordinaire!

We are lucky to have one of the best patisseries in Paris on our block here in the 3rd -- La Fougasse on rue de Bretagne.  Good lord!  Not only do they have some of the best bread and croissants around, also they have killer desserts in about a two dozen varieties.  Tarts in chocolate, lemon, apple, pear, strawberry.  Cakes in white, milk or dark chocolate.  Macaroons.  Eclairs. Chocolate and almond croissants.  Too many to name!  Our favorite has been the trapezienne which is a sort of custard/banana cream pie with a delicious graham cracker crust.  La Fougasse is the reason I have gained ten pounds in the past three months!

I will enjoy the calorie-free photos from here. Sigh. Paris has the best food... next to Italy (wink).
