Philippe Bel has divinely created chocolates which were my favorites out of a number of chocolatiers I went to recently while in Europe. Plus, the woman helping me here was very nice and extremely patient with my struggling French. No question I would come back here for more when next in Lyon.

Wow! It's all I can say after trying some treats…read more Philippe Bel is one of 19 MOFs in chocolate in the world - an incredibly prestigious achievement. His shop is a reflection of all his years of studying the art of chocolate and candy. Everything in his chocolates are made by his shop - not purchased. The caramels melt in your mouth and are full of flavor. I adored the cassis (black currant) flavor. The chocolates are beautiful and touted as some of the best in the world, yet not badly priced. I was thrilled with my experience and highly recommend you stop in to taste (and buy) some delights!

We were in Paris for two weeks over Christmas and New Year's 2018-9. While waiting for the Doors…read moreat St Severin Church to open for our concert, we discovered the Pirates Candy shop. Paris is just filled with surprises like this. We broused around and I "discovered" the Crème Brule candies. Apart from the fact that Crème brule is one of my favourite deserts (and I make a really good Mocha one at home) the little candies were very appealing in this nonsensical representation of this lovely desert. We bought about a Kilo and brought them home to Canada. No they are not the epitome of French desert talents. But they are cute, a poetic attempt at a delicious sweet, and loads of fun to eat. They are both chewy and tasty, what I prize. I am now looking to buy more on line, so that should be a pretty good recommendation. If not on line, we will be in Lyon and Maussane in the south in the spring and am hopeful of finding more there. Just in case you wonder what my tastes are I really like "English Wine Gums" which are a bit like jujubes, but firmer, more chewy and very tasty. Best of all, by Canadian standards they are not expensive. And they go nicely with an Italian Amaro, slightly bitter. Gordon Marantz, age 82, Kingston Canada
