"Hello Véronique and Delphine,
Thank you for bringing such lovely products to the Bay Area. I always describe myself as "la plus grande Francophile du monde," and I really think it's true! At last count, I have 23 Tours Eiffel in my house!
It's hard to pick my best souvenir of Paris, but I think it would have to be the cafe I used to frequent when I was a student at the Sorbonne in 1979 (long before you were born!). It was called "Pâtisserie Viennoise," and had the most heavenly coffee and hot chocolate--with an enormous dollop of whipped cream, of course--plus "Viennoiseries" of every description. I used to sit and write letters to my family on aérogrammes, happily sipping my chocolat viennois. I went back many years later, and the same woman waited on me as in 1979. I've gone by every time I've been to Paris since (~20 times), but it is never open when I am there. Check it out on at 8 Rue de l'Ecole de Médecine."
