The Paris-Brest and a box of caramels to take home
♦
“A master chocolatier's Marais atelier — the Paris-Brest alone is worth a detour.”
Why we love it
Jacques Genin is a perfectionist's perfectionist. His caramels are impossibly smooth, his ganaches are pure and intense, and his Paris-Brest — filled with praline cream — is widely considered the best in the city. The salon de thé upstairs is a hushed temple of sugar. Don't leave without trying the pâte de fruits.
