   Oh God, Berthillon, one of my favorite places in the world! Poire avec chocolat glace….mmmmmm….made my knees shake, right there in the middle of the street! Thankfully, it was a Sunday at noon and very little traffic. Was able to make my way back to the sidewalk without a car hitting me, just a few strange looks from other tourists. Oh, they just don’t know……..

   Of course another Berthillon dilemma is choosing between the caramel avec ou sans beurre sale’. (Sorry can’t do the accents — salted or unsalted butter.)

   When I can’t decide between those two, I bail and go for the ultimate — the cassis. Ecstasy!

    Hee, hee, well …..single women have got to take advantage of every « little pleasure » in life that they can get!! Thank you to everyone for their favorite flavor suggestions. My next visit to Paris is going to include Berthillon everyday, maybe even for breakfast?

    Bonnie Ann… Just realized I never replied to your email. I’m well thx. Book and TV Show projects are on hold for the Holidays but still under way. Hopefully things will unroll positively in the new year. as per flavours… I never had amaretto, I’ll give that one a try!
    Andrea… single women, married women: same thing – life is all about little pleasures!!

    That’s one of the nice things about Paris. You can buy a signature brand ice cream cone or a Laduree macaron and feel on top of the world.
    Almost as good as a Chloe bag or Laboutin shoes…almost

    ParisBreakfast… very simple tastes you have
    Anne… Well, just half of it maybe?!! O – being a smartass!

    Very funny! I still think it’s wonderful though that you have to walk to a beautiful place — Ile St Louis to get an incredible ice cream… how French is that! I tried the salted butter caramel — to die for! When I cam home (NY) I found a recipe on David Lebovitz’s blog and promptly made it. It was wonderful, but only when I closed my eyes and imagined Ile St Louis!
17. Olivier Magny dit :

    %A %e %B %Y à %H:%M

    Minette… Yeah, things do get wonderful when you close your eyes!!

    caramel beurre sale and prune d’agen – little scoops of heaven…
19. Olivier Magny dit :

    %A %e %B %Y à %H:%M

    Lil… Pruneaux d’Agen that would be

    Perfection!

    I think they’ve started selling it at one place outside of paris, that’s what friends told me, they live in marne la vallée, 92 terminus of RER. They had litterally 5 different flavours, oh it was heaven.

    In fact, my dear I can pick you for a visit of the really best ice-cream of Paris… and it’s not Bertillon… in fact it’s not french… it’s an italian shop… so amazing, isnt it?
