’Tis the season to be indulgent

A delicious box of Easter eggs from À la Mère de Famille, the oldest chocolate shop in Paris.

Just last week here in Paris, I indulged myself in a little bit of nostalgia when I got to thinking about Easter.

It all began when I was invited to visit friends for dinner and wanted to get something for their two delightful children, Roxane (5) and Tristan (3). So, with Easter in mind, I ambled through my neighbourhood of Saint-Germain-des-Prés and stopped in rue Bonaparte at one my favourite shops, the very special, À la Mère de Famille.
